30 — Attack

Ben

Ré, look at what the Taloans are sending us.

It doesn’t look like a delivery of toss ...

Bo

These are tactical drones. They’re not looking for collaboration.

There can be no doubt — this is an attack! We need to answer immediately. We need to start the military station in Section 15. It’s near here, and I still have the access codes for this unit. We were implementing our integrated system there.

We need to send a strong signal. They need to know that we will not hesitate to destroy them if they persist in that direction. We need to install the turbines manually for the ballistic missile system. I’ll take care of this. I’ll need to find three persons to help me. Bo, you must start the integrated system — you have the codes. This installation was your project.

Bo

I’m on it, but the systems boot takes 48 hours, and the drones will be here in 36!

We’ll need to start the systems in parallel.

Ben

It won’t work. There will be too many configuration conflicts. It’ll end up being a wet bomb!

We’ll need to make it work. Failure is not an option!

Ben

Failure is never an option; it’s an outcome. The outcome when we fail to look at reality.

Hé believes that his group can scramble the drones’ navigation.

It’s not strong enough of a signal. They need to suffer so that they don’t ever attempt this again. We only have one chance.

Ben

... And we’ll lose it with your plan!

Bo

Ben is right!

We have no time to waste! Bo, this is an order. We must succeed. It is imperative!

No more discussion.
