As far as Teledji and his thugs are concerned numbers are of the smallest concern considering allies were in the room, two of which were cowards who let their friend ride the storm unaided. Hang civil war for who would be left to proclaim war after the very heads of the rebellion had been removed? The Brass Blades? The people despise them already. The Crystal Braves? No more organized than a ragged band of thieves starved for money and lusting for the same. Civil war was already in the making, Carteneau, if you don't understand. In case you were unaware, the very object from the start until Raubahn stepped in was to kill us. The excuse was already there, Lust. Lust for power and money.

Once Teledji had spilled the beans it was no holds barred. Exfil is planned before action, action taken, then leave. Not the opposite. But I waste sense on those who will not hear of it. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
