<div class="floatright">(http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz79/jorgiguel/13-1.jpg)<br/></div><br/>Name: Belle<br/>Location: George Ophani's office<br/>Time: Late evening<br/>Tagged: George, Tyalia, Renzo<br/><hr/>Belle sat amongst the coils of her tail and listened quietly as the situation was laid out for the trio, considering possibilities. Her master was certainly correct; there was no reason for them to take hostages unless they planned on using them for something, and the facility's size would make it near-impossible to seize without significant forethought, so the hostages were most likely part of the terrorists' plan from the beginning.<br/><br/>"If they kill hostages they will most likely kill the monstergirls first. Humanity first would not kill a human if killing a monstergirl will net the same results. But the fact that they took hostages clearly indicates that this is not just political in nature. Hostages are not a very effective means to elicit regime change; there is something more tangible that the terrorists want. Hostage situations are tricky, and they know that just as well as we do. It is quite likely that Master is correct; they did not choose this facility at random. Disrupting the development of the Q-cell could prove a significant blow to Ophani, which is one of the most influential pro-monstergirl organizations."<br/><br/>Belle was already thinking about the best ways to go about the mission, but waited to voice her opinion. The terrorists would not take kindly to being reminded Ophani's position on monstergirls, so if negotiation was an option, she and Tyalia should most likely not be directly involved. Similarly, if the terrorist discovered an Ophani response team sneaking around, that would not end well, either.<br/><br/><em>If Master went in as a negotiator, that could provide a significant amount of distraction, which would allow Tyalia to sneak in from another entrance with less trouble. But that still leaves a question of where I should go... My anatomy might leave me particularly suited to move through the ventilation system, but I cannot be certain without more information.</em><br/><br/>"Do we have a way to see the layout of the facility? Blueprints, perhaps?"
