SrE. Karen Heckal: I'd heard about that, too. I've also got to wonder... if they were plannin' to break the peace, why wouldn't they have done it when we were in th' proverbial vipers nest?
(Alexandru Picant) [EVENT] ** Some vehicles leave the mines, appearing to be filled with passengers, along with a motorcycle escort. Before long, the vehicles take separate paths out of the compound. **
SrE. Aileanna Kerr: They wanted to get inside, and didn't know the inside layout yet. We had one of 'em inside, right?
** SrE. Karen Heckal offers Pjotrs a little wave as he enters, before folding her arms up again.

SrE. Karen Heckal: They've known the layout for over a week.

SrE. Aileanna Kerr: How could they? They only saw the interior.
SrE. Aileanna Kerr: I doubt anyone told Miroslav we had tanks.
