Seventeenth Patrol - Filtered against the Invaders

[slightly_knurd]

Safe houses being set up both in the Prison and sporadically around the Underground. It's only a temporary peace while they reevaluate and gather their forces. Anyone still taking refuge in the apartment buildings should not be living alone

In your opinion, which are more secure. The prison, or the Underground.

[slightly_knurd]

The underground, or at least the parts we've cleared of the more unsavory sort.

[crete_goddess]

Very well. Are you certain they're perfectly secure?

[slightly_knurd]

Ma'am, if you want perfect and secure, that I can't give you. We're making them as safe as possible. No place - epsecially here - is going to be perfect. But it'll be safer than most.

Gehen Sie mit Ihrem Schild oder auf es zurück, Herr Vimes.

[finally]

That's the idea of it.

[warconductor]

Will you accept my gift?

[slightly_knurd]

You mean your murderous link that got Arthur killed? Or how you're opening up your home to every desperate fool in the City?

[browning_baby]

The caves in the forest need to be searched, too. It would't be good if they come back into the city tomorrow and find easy prey in the caves.

[slightly_knurd]

Then they'll be next, after we've cleared out parts of the underground.

[browning_baby]

If you like, Jan and I can take care of it. There's a lot more Underground than there are caves, and we're already out and about.

[slightly_knurd]

You've got the time to do that?

[lyra_of_dust]

Right... I just hope they don't fire that laser-thing again.

[slightly_knurd]

They'll save that for the bigger targets, if they use it at all.

Are you safe, Lyra?

[lyra_of_dust]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to help.

[slightly_knurd]

Well, don't let yourself get caught up in a bad situation while trying to help the rest.

I have been observing matters but, I am afraid the whole picture cannot be seen from a fixed position. Please, what have you learned?

Been getting everyone moved to safer positions while another unit goes off to rescue those captured.

The Major is riding on my last nerve.
