oops he's a co

That's the fucking point. I don't have a damn plan, right now, and neither do you.

[ A breath, here. Slow down. Calm. Miles had managed to hit a nerve, no matter how slightly. Breathe. ]

What we have is time, because we know it's not in their best interests to actually hurt her, because the Cetagandans like keeping up appearances and hospitality and treated all of us to a goddamn garden party when they picked us out of the middle of nowhere.

We have more soldiers than we used to. In a few days, we'll be better armed. We have two informants, well-situated. How fast we act doesn't matter, this isn't some guerrilla war camp, they already have cells, they already have patrols and thousands of soldiers to move into place at a single order the moment they have Sonia in the base. You know when they might fucking hurt her, Miles? When they might kill her? When we decide to ignore their generous offer of diplomacy and answer them with some bumbling unprepared rescue mission. Just to prove a point.
