[D1 LE Briefing Room] Scout's Honor

[Mary Macharu]

Mary considered the plan. The point of the contract was to draw force away from the main fighting. Enough to weaken the response elsewhere without bringing down so much heat on their head that they melted. But how much would the enemy forces listen to the panicked locals? Mary had never really given though to that, she was used to considering things as far as tactical goals, not strategic ones.

The pat on the arm from the lieutenant did cause a minor flinch.

"...confusion is advantageous too. but what type of people are the local leadership? do we know anything about what they're like? people react differently as commanders, so finding the right button to press is important." she added quietly.

"We don't know yet." Klaus answers honestly. " I believe overtures can be made, but that is unfortunately superceded by our immediate task at hand"

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

"Have you had a chance to grill our local informant yet? Do we even know if they are military or civilian? I hoped that they had presented themselves to you and the Major if not address all of us."

Something in her tone suggested that Mei was deeply mistrustful of local informants.

[Klaus von Zinzer]

Klaus purses his lips "That has been under very tight wraps. I can't share that information with you."
