Tarsus para bellum

"There has been enough unnecessary killing. I will accept your unconditional surrender, if you offer for it. Either way we will do what we can for MacPherson."

Prerna runs north and checks the corner at the arboretum and the east-west corridor.

As she moves up Prerna sees that all the stateroom doors near the junction are open and all the interiors are dark. She's reasonably sure at least one will contain troopers covering her approach route. As she reaches the corner she is challenged (likely from one of two rooms [DBL SR] opposite the closed ARBORETUM entrance) " 'Old it right there Miss Nayar, ma'am! I reckon we've got a truce goin' so no takin' liberties, eh? Come any further and we will open fire!"

Her squad have instinctively moved up behind her and (like her) are likely within a zone covered by 1188th. She reasons that if anyone opens fire now the resultant casualties re will be nowhere near the value of the objective.

The bold positioning of her squad does however, in 1188th terms, very much "raise the ante".

Prerna keys her suit speakers. "Lay down your weapons and come out with your hands in the clear! This is the only chance you will get to surrender peacefully."

"If you all surrender you will be treated suitably as prisoners of war. The proto-swordies aren't that far behind me and they won't give you the option. My beef is with Keening."

The portly executive faints under threat of becoming Vargr cuisine (with hot spices).

The Security man then immediately volunteers "Keening's gone ruddy Radio Rentals an' bolted up into the "perv palaces". He indicates the eastern northern corridor (above Perna's Green line of advance on the tac map).

He adds "You lot comin' in as done 'em all up! Keening took off with the last of 'is 1188th boys an' few of the Security - them wiv screws loose. The one's 'oo enjoy it too much - you know? Oh an' some bird they 'ad prisoner. They've all gone rahnd the ruddy twist! Keening was with Administrative Assistant (Human Resource) Manager [Corporate] Ms Viki Skint". With "Collace confidentiality" he confides "Now, I thought she was 'is main squeeze on the grounds of 'em both bein' fekkin' 'orrible people but then she snapped an' all! Went completely Cadbury's! Kept chantin'... a name... The same name... over an' over - an' she wouldn't stop... "UrvashGudrunUrvashGudrunUrvashGudrun" - just like that. I think 'e's killed 'er over it!"

Collace Colloquial Trans Service:
Radio Rentals: a Collace based communications firm but also a rhyming slang reference for folk with mental issues
Cadbury's: a Collace based confectioner famous for their "Fruit and Nut" cocoa bean based treats and yet also an unfortunate slang reference for folk with mental issues).

Dzofin snorts and wrinkles his nose as the executive faints. "Even with the best curry she wouldn't taste very good." He turned back and looked at the security man with much more respect. "I will relay your information to my pack mates with my thanks. I will see personally that you are all treated fairly when the spoils are divided." Dzofin called on the communicator. "1188 hard cases likely holding out in Northeast quadrant with target Keening." With a wagging tail Dzofin asked a further question. "Where are the payroll safes located and who has the combinations?"
