FACING THE FOE
 
Ordering the unit to enter that teleport was the first of many mistakes I made
that awful day. However, their pursuers gave me little choice in the matter,
and even though I regret it now, I saw no other way to get my unit into safety.
There was no telling where my men would end up, or even if they would make it
through alive at all.
 
I tell you, they showed great courage, following my orders blindly as they were
trained to, marching without hesitation through the teleport. After a couple of
minutes, I regained contact with them - the teleport was apparently a part of
some kind of transportation system throughout the citadel. The Scanners showed
they had emerged, scattered in small groups, much deeper below the surface.

Without hesitation, I issued the following orders:
"Clear the area of hostiles! Buy us some time to devise a contingency plan."
