Casval motions to the viewport and the row of federation Guntanks blocking the street maybe a hundred and fifty meters away; It looks like their main cannons are pointed at you, but it’s hard to tell their precise angles. One of the sensor readouts nearby begins emitting a warning message in a calm female monotone, <span class="mu-r">“Laser warning… Laser warning….”</span>
You gulp, suspecting what the warning means, “Well, they haven’t yet. And it’s wrong to shoot first!”

Faint, muffled shouting from the lower hull can be heard through the metal hatch on the floor. Hamon must be arguing with the soldiers.
“They’re targeting us right now!” Casval protests, his grip tightening on the controls. His eyes narrow once again as he directs his full attention back to the guntanks.
