>>>>>[Can't say I totally agree either, but then have you seen even that
copy of the guy in action? Easy is by no means incompetent, and she
would have died of her wounds if one of the hospital docs hadn't grabbed
her. She wouldn't have lasted that long if he hadn't been so
overconfident.
From his file he's very dangerous, from his postings his mind has
wandered off the map, and he seems to have no trouble at all getting
hold of mil-spec weapons and explosives that he's fully trained to use
in nasty and imaginative ways: I've worked with SEAL Teams Seven and
Nine and they are _scary_ guys when it comes to finding ways to extract
under fire from heavy opposition, I picked up more than a few moves from
them (the trick I pulled on you with the wall is one of theirs, for
instance). Not a combination that fills me with joy.
If we can get him alive, great. Despite what the lead Fed might want
(he's upset at losing partners and having one of his men turn out to be
dirty made him even angrier) I'd prefer an arrest to a corpse, if only
because nobody's worked out how to mindprobe a cadaver yet, but I'm not
willing to get men killed to keep Thunda alive.
I just can't think of a way to bring him in that doesn't risk a lot of
our people and maybe some bystanders stuffed into zipper bags, but if
having you and your group involved (a) cuts the casualties and (b) gets
us a prisoner not a stiff, I'll take back all those horrible things I
said about you behind your back <g>
Blow his legs off and I can keep him alive as long as I get to him
within a few minutes, before the arteries come out of spasm: you're good
enough to pull that off, while I'd be sticking to centre-torso or
centre-head.
And don't worry too much about the helmet, I would have been loading
explosives if I hadn't switched to gel, and you'd probably have gotten
away with concussion, maybe a skull fracture, when it prematured on the
armour. Your spotter - Tagit, wasn't it? - is the one who was most at
risk, a 9mm EX in the throat is nothing to laugh off.
Glad to have you on the team, and glad to finally work with you guys
instead of against you.]<<<<<
