Maybe it's that I'm a perfectionist, but I don't like us handing this job with the hunters off to someone else. I don't know whether it's a matter of diplomatic neutrality or what, which is what I suspect. It just... My men are trained in non-lethal take-downs. With the skill sets available on board, the numbers, I think it would be relatively simple to render the entire stock of hunters unconscious and have them transported off the planet.

No casualties. Quick. Clean. I've seen other people on board in action, ones I didn't train, both in the simulation room and out in the wild. They're good. The mercenaries could take up protection work after the fact. But honestly, lowest damage possible scenario, I would trust to us.

Yeah. Doesn't sit right. [Not the mission itself. Having the hunters driven out? Fine. Giving up ship expenses and valuables to pay for what they could very easily do themselves? That gives him a lot of pause.]

Thanks. If we were to get the go ahead, I think we could do it.

And honestly, no matter what we do, it's on our head now. We hire the mercenaries and they fuck up, it's still us. We leave these people behind to suffer, tell them that its their fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, then that's on us too. We do something to stop this ourselves? At least the results would be within our control.

I hear you on that. We came here and made this our business. It's our responsibility to see it through, and I don't like the idea of some strangers coming in. For all we know, they'll do something worse to this planet and any good intention we might have had will be thrown out the window.

[ She wants to save the creatures that are here, come hell or high water. She can withstand both. ]

I'd just rather not kill if we can help it. It'd be nice if they just leave on their own.

I think there are people here that could make them leave on their own. [He's not sure about her yet. Just that there's some.]

And I have full faith on the training of some of the special ops here.

[He hates for these skills to go to waste.]

[bloodbinds]

...I could. I just don't...know if it would work on all of them.

[ Or how long the effects will last. Regardless, the hunters are capable, and they could very well kill her before she gets to all of them. ]

And we don't have much time to try to make this work before the captains go ahead and make a decisions for us.

If we can get someone influential enough, it probably wouldn't take many people at all. A few properly influenced, the others removed with non-lethal tactics. It would work.
