Sorry - have to remember that you guys aren't in my head. :)

Door-kicking is the LAST thing the team wants to do, as I'm sure anyone
who's played around with the arc knows. Fights should only last long
enough for a small team to escape, otherwise they'll get swarmed by the
bad guys.

Concealment is KING for what I'm writing about.

> HOwever, UCAS gaurds on the outside of the Arc may use black for
this reason, and they would have most likely procured either
intimidation-black or some kind of urban pattern after the situation in
Chigaco.
> Kevin Dole, aka CyberRaven, aka IronRaven, aka Steel Tengu

So you see them as considering guarding the exterior of the arc a
combat assignment?

Again, which urban pattern? Urban urban or subdued urban?
