As the SeeDs discussed their plans, the rest of the meeting broke up into a handful of hushed discussions. Field Marshall Lerwick leaned in close to one of his soldiers, whispering what sounded like detailed orders while the two PSA agents tapped away at PDAs. Duncan assumed that the Faction was adapting their own post-Deling plans to suit the team's decision, but his trust of the rebel's sincerity didn't go far enough for him to leave them unobserved. The bug he had planted on his father earlier relayed the details of the orders and to his relief, they pertained mainly to ensuring that the soldiers on duty at the parade were issued with non-lethal weapons. Constantine may have been a ruthless bastard, but at least he cared about his own people enough to try minimizing casualties among the soon-to-be rioters. Duncan only wished he had had the time to set up cameras to keep an eye on what the spooks were doing, but it was water under the bridge at this point. Even if the PSA made their own rogue move at the eleventh hour, they wouldn't be able to derail the assassination with a whole team of SeeDs on hand. Still, he made a mental note to assign one or two of the more experienced team members to keep an eye on them. [b]'While I appreciate where you're coming from Hector, Jericho is right. These men and women have more than proven themselves since Dollet and their teamwork is coming along nicely. Besides, I may have a special task for you.'[/b] [i]Not that I'd blurt out all the details in present company.[/i]

He sipped from the wine set before him, listening intently as the others made their points. So far the majority seemed to support the riot and despite the dangers of setting a mob loose on the city, he was inclined to agree. The firebombing plan was by far more reliable, but it could cause a violent backlash among Deling's supporters. At least with the riot, the Faction would be able to pretend that it was the people who removed the President from power and not an outside force. [b]'Sabotaging the float will be difficult since it's kept locked away securely on the presidential palace grounds, but if a small team could infiltrate the site without setting off any alarms, it would be a great help.'[/b] Xerox was the obvious choice on that note, if only because he could deactivate the palace security and sabotage the float without it being too obvious. Duncan turned to him with a raised eyebrow. [b]'What do you think, Xerox? Can you whip up a way to shut down those generators without the guards realising? Maybe something with a time-delay on it?'[/b] Someone raised a hand nervously and to his surprise, Duncan found himself nodding to Kein to speak. [b]'Uh, I think I could help. These paramagic drives use a biological core, like a... a genetically engineered computer. If you guys can get me in and past the security cams, I could poison them, stop 'em working properly.'[/b] Kein swallowed nervously, his eyes flicking between Jericho's and Xerox's.
