SORRY ABOUT THE LACK OF ICONS YET

[ good god, what a clusterfuck.

the ghem-general -- or anyone above them in the chain of command -- isn't really going to be all that happy about the exotics getting out or the barrayarans getting in, but at least these exotics seemed to have done well, capturing this woman. the barrayarans aren't generally given to women soldiers -- but they are getting desperate, aren't they?

she's got about the level of refinement as a barrayaran, with all that cussing, but one of them -- presumably the senior officer among the bunch -- hits her at this close range with the stunner. at least she'll be less trouble now. as for the sneaky exotics...

the senior officer waves away half the soldiers around him with snarled orders into his wristcom for medic and to the soldiers around him go get him and get to the main generator. a few soldiers take off after main, but they're too late, he's fast, and their shots hit dead air. he doesn't look too pleased with wash and york, but the other soldiers don't haul them up the way you might expect a prisoner -- it's more like helping up, if not very cordially, considering the circumstances. a lot of feathers have been ruffled. the senior officer jerks his head at two soldiers who take custody of lakshmi, hauling her up with arms under her shoulders. ]


Catch up to ghem-Yenaro and take her to holding. He's got another one. And you two -- [ there are four dead on the ground, and other soldiers injured. the alarms are still blaring, there's still chaos everywhere. the senior officer nods at another couple of his guards. ] You'll be escorted back to your barracks, medbay if you need so. We found another guerrilla unconscious, and not by stunner fire -- your work as well, I take it?

[ he's not pleased, exactly, but it does make him a little less fucking annoyed about all this. ]
