Snippet #2581492

Olek stopped in the door way to the living room just in time to hear the discussion that was unfolding. His eye hovered on Ara, he stopped to listen to Aileen and Hawke, but his gaze was still unwavering. It was his obligation to get Ara help. He only had a few options, letting her die was not on the list. His eyes calmly jumped to Hawke once he began to speak as well. Olek still had words for Aileen, but the discussion would have to wait.

He waited for Hawke and Aileen to finish their exchange with the rest. One Hawke was finished with speaking, Olek met his gaze with his good eye. All he could tell from the look Hawke was giving him was a significant feeling of unease. He didn't trust this place. Olek on the other hand had full trust in this place. They had perimeter alarms, and the high ground. A brute force assault would end badly for any invaders.

Olek spoke up once a short silence set in. "Look, as far as I'm concerned, we only have option A on the table. Ara is in no condition to move great distances. As it stands right now, we have no evidence to indicate that our current position has been compromised." Olek paused, his eyes glancing towards Ara once more. He looked around, he felt like everyone needed a plan. Olek slowly let his militaristic training kick in. Soon his analytic behavior began to shine through.

"In the event of a full scale assault on this house, we should be alright for a few minutes. From what I can tell, this place was built to withstand a siege. Kyra, Kisa, and Dray are large enough to carry some of us through the woods, at high speeds, in the event of emergency escape. In the woods, enemy land vehicles would be useless, so they wouldn't be able to keep up with you guys. If the enemy brings air support into the fray, I can try my hand at bringing it down whilst providing covering fire." Olek sighed at the next part, and glanced around for a few moments.

"It's a flawed contingency plan in a few ways, but the most obvious one is for simple reasons. They will have orders to capture all of you with the exception of me. If I'm the only one hanging back, they'll bring down the house around me. That would mean that one person would have to hang back with me." Olek finished his analysis of possible options with a glance to everyone. Gauging what people thought of the contingency plan.

"As for long term options.... We'd have to get new identities, change our appearances, and settle down somewhere else. Beyond that, I have no more input on the matter." Olek finished talking altogether, ready for interjections, or other words to be had. He was open to criticism, concerns, and suggestions.
