Telar would like to send in a representative.
Gonna be sending the Hon. J. T. Hornburg. Historically, people hate him, so the civilian hostility won't faze him.
As I see it, we're being too soft for the sake of civilians. While I'd have just screwed the populous and laced their air with toxins or something, we've wasted time. Though I'm sure blazer would've had some WMD blow up down there if we'd done things my way, I still say force is the solution. Telar gives consideration to reopening Project E.
As far as the argument against using flamethrowers should this fail, I'm assuming that the tech is locked up in a room that's more than fireproof. Flamethrowers would serve the purpose of eating up air, hurt militants inside, not affect tech. Hoping it won't come to that though.
More Floating Fortresses and improved moon base. Lunar city receives its first inhabitants, people will be regularly shipped up there until the city is mostly full.
