It was a tense situation. The squad leader and two officers had moved around and blocked Othello and Sitis from escaping, while the remaining two officers had leapt between Iago and Charlie. Charlie needed immediate medical attention, and his collapse was all the distraction needed for Iago to gain the upper hand. That is, until a random variable in the form of an unexpected visitour tipped the scales...

"What a shot!"

"Are you insane? He's a CIVILIAN, for Primus sake! And there are countless others he just put at risk, not the least of which was his hostage, ally or not! Now get the human to the medlabs! The rest of you just don't move!

That goes for you too. Let the security handle this and careful where you point that...."

As the Autobot rushed off to the medlabs with the badly injured Charlie, his commander and the remaining three soldiers tightened the circle around the stunned Iago, spared Othello, and slinking Sitis. They couldn't predict what the thieves would try next or if the Autobot with the grenade launcher would listen...it was a tense game of chess in which they could only move their own pieces and hope to guess accurately where the other pieces would move next.

The squad leader had little time to dwell on sloppy metaphors, however. While his squad's strength in stealth had managed to corner the majority of the offenders, the original hostage and two others remained unaccounted for. For the moment they had the advantage and slight numerical superiority, unaware that Thranx was already in position to insure his own escape. All four Autobots kept their weapons levelled at the three offenders, but the squad leader wondered if they weren't in a Mexican standoff with Blunt...

"Reports said there were six....we got the one in the holorooms and these three, but where are the other two? And what's the deal with this 'bot?

This could get real ugly, real fast..."
