I think you want to see this, Dave. We picked it up last night.

You weren't quite telling me everything, were you? <g>

<One image shows Akbar in an office: the other is of Colonel White in
his busy headquarters, data screens behind him showing unit status and
pictures of the action, staff bustling around.>

A: Well, Colonel, don't keep me in suspense. How long?

W: Their resistance has all but collapsed. We're moving in the engineer
tanks now, to gouge our way through the walls, and the assault groups
are forming up. Once we're inside they either surrender or they die.

A: Very good. I want Rusanov taken alive if possible, and as many of his
troops as we can get. Deliver them here, unharmed: I'll use your men
for the first stages of the demonstrations, as long as the prisoners
arrive in good condition and unmolested. And make sure nobody manages
to damage the minehead.

W: Of course, sir. I estimate we'll be celebrating inside that compound
within three hours-

<Behind White, the data displays are flashing red alarms or breaking to
static: the views of the battlefield are showing huge explosions before
winking out. A staffer hurrying towards the door is thrown back in a
spray of blood and White turns, fumbling for his holster -

Bullets rip through the tent walls and you see White spun and tossed
like a marionette as bullets pluck his flesh, before the view dissolves
in static.>
