Monotone: "You're in charge, what you say goes, I do as you say. Got it."

PM: "Damn straight. Don't phrase things like you're in charge and I'll be less of a hard ass about things."

Well, we don't want to risk anything and armor isn't that expensive, with Akras being easily able to replace them. We'll have the Lizard return to us, assume a defensive position on the outside, and then toss a HE grenade in with it leaving the hand on the inside of the building, with the thrower retreating to a defensive position before it blows up. Regon can be the one to do it as he's the one most likely to survive if things go wrong.

Replace interns with personnel, soldiers, or killclones and it works.

"With all due respect sir, that was what I was trying to say for you."

PM Reserti: "With all due respect, don't try to speak for me. The intentions underneath are appreciated, but part of being a leader includes being the one to reprimand misbehavior. Following that, stop threating your squad mates with violence. It's unprofessional and makes you look as potentially violent as Danh and Khaiden. If you are needed to shoot an arrow into someone, I will inform you of that need."

Reserti tests the arrow on his string, "Danh, you may be Terran, but your body language is still the same as ours. You think about hurting any of us and I'll put an arrow through your knee. The same applies to anyone seriously thinking of hurting Danh, or Ratodx, or Mako, or Dexter, or anyone in this squad. There are some people here who I do not like, but for the next fifteen minutes can we just pull our heads in and fucking cooperate without plotting each other's murder?"

"Shut it, Knife-Ears." Danh growls out, not in the fucking mood.

"Both of you shut it-"

As the group sidle about and get ready, everyone could smell the faintest scent of cheese..

Which is pretty odd considering how you were told that the helmets were supposed to be able to filter out everything including smell since it runs on internal oxygen supply.

Nothing new/stranger than the usual would be found if you choose to check and look around again.

"003 is present. Shut up and let's get this job done."

"Consider that none of us can actually read Terran and that the language was likely similar to 'an opportunity to see the subject.' We can go over it more specifically when we return to base. More likely than not, Akras will require you to pay for the resources to go to your old village if you want to go there ahead of Akras's timetable. And once they're a part of Akras, they will be quite safe from Orcs."

(If we're willing to handwave the whole "waiting for the squad to indicate understanding" thing, we can move on with the lizard leading the front.)

"Can I please put an arrow through them to shut them up?" Reserti says, sighing, "That was only half-serious, by the way. I would only do that if they endangered the mission and, as a consequence of endangering the mission, endanger my chances of seeing Iulwen again. I will not let that shit fly."
"I advise sending a lizard in. That way none of us are in immediate danger and if the armor does attack, we have a bit of range to work with as well as a chokepoint."

"Reserti. The previous discussion applies to everyone. Indicate that you understand."

"And yes, that was the plan."
