Darius frowns.  "Sergent En, even if your suggestion was go to perfectly... which I highly doubt, as most likely the pitiful fools would not act as predicted, the number of Mutants and the lack of cover would make such a suicide run almost worthless.  These pitiful creatures may draw a little fire... but they'd most likely simply perish before getting close enough to threaten the mutants behind the barricades."  He shakes his head.  "Besides, even if such an act were to go as planned, this sort of thing reeks of Chaos.  I don't like it."<br/><br/>He turns to Cortez.  "I do have an alternative suggestion for an attack plan, although I don't like the fact that the mutants sealed off access to the Munitorium, and what they may have taken from there.  It does not bode well.  Most of what I'd worry about is the high amounts of explosives they could have retrieved.  It doesn't sound like there were any heavy weapons available, but plenty of ammo, and explosives.  I see three possibilities... first, we can be certain the mutants have plenty of ammunition, so an extended firefight won't drain their resources... however, it is the second two options I do not like.  The mutants may be either trying to use explosives to gain access to the vault... assuming they already do not have access... and worse, they may be preparing traps... mines, that sort of thing.  We should be prepared."<br/><br/>Darius grimaces before continuing.  "I don't like not knowing the situation in there, but I don't see how we can get better intelligence for the moment, unless someone has a suggestion.  I believe our best option would be to find a way to flank the mutants defending the vault.  Trying to rush those fortresses that they have to defend the vault with, directly, will cost us dearly.  If I had a squad of armored space marines we might be able to do so without serious losses, but with the force we have, they'll do us serious damage before we take them... and I'd like to prevent that if possible."<br/><br/>He gestures toward the "north" where the vault lies.  "Now... what I wonder is that if it is possible to go through the southern wall of the corridor leading to the vault... and come into that area from behind, or even from inside the southernmost fortress structure... assuming we can get through whatever bulkheads are between us and that point.  If we can, then that's what I suggest doing.   Otherwise, we may wish to simply evacuate with the Imperial Guardsmen, and fall back to the plan of using the ships weapons to blow a hole, and tractoring the entire vault into space."<br/><br/>Darius shrugs.  "I'd like to explore some other options before trying that, however."
