Honeytrap
Added 2025-07-25 22:03:25 +0000 UTCSo as far as that honeytrap subplot goes, I envisage it running something like this:
"Let me introduce my Team Leaders to you- I think you've already met Eleanor Parker..."
*How he met Eleanor Parker ...*
"So anyway, Eleanor- I was thinking maybe you could take all the new girls and make a frontal assault right there? We'll follow. Oh, by the way, this prospective client kind of likes you- he asked if you might like to meet him for coffee? Totally no pressure of course- it's entirely up to you. It would look good on your CV though..."
At least one student in this lesson has noticed that the teacher is playing it up for the inspector...
"Hi, I heard you had some coffee here and... OH MY GOD, WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?!"
"Damn- that was some good coffee. Anyway, better dash- I've got a suicidal assault in the morning."
All joking aside, although I'd initially planned that stuffing all the new girls in the first wave would be suitably evil, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Having looked at the numbers with my Army head on, I still think a standing patrol in the water of four divers is entirely reasonable to plan for, so taking them on with an echelon of 12 divers led by a team-leader is doctrinally sound. The real shitty job will go to B Team, who'll have to storm the Moon Pool with no idea what's on the other side, closely followed by C Team as they storm those defended corridors.
Looked at from that perspective, and Eleanor's getting the best deal!
