Niko had one hundred new recruits under his command. He had appointed the mission team as sergeants. Each sergeant had a Section of sixteen men and women.
He wasn't planning on losing any of these soldiers under his command if he could help it, so he had hatched a plan which he hoped would keep as many of them safe as possible, while still freeing the Clan members trapped at Squeaking Point.
Delphi should be free by now if the General's plan had worked, and none of them knew what that meant would happen to these townsfolk.
"Sergeants," he called to them, and the newly minted sergeants left their Sections to join him.
He sketched out a rough map of Squeaking Point in the dirt, and they all squinted at it in the failing light.
"Each of you has a perimeter of about one hundred metres to cover," he told them. "I'll write your initials next to your segment of the pie."
