Although, does it mention whether Cypha was involved in this infiltration? She's easily the most noticeable and memorable member of the bunch, so I'd leave her back on the ship if I had the choice. |

Infiltration? I thought they politely enter under the guise of...something (business, perhaps) like the Trojan Horse instead of sneaking in. Suits are hardly the best attire for infiltration

And if Vandin is responsible for the facility on Ruwella, then it's a given that their scores on "how to negotiate with human beings " are probably negative twelve on a scale of one to ten. Dealing with the Hucks is stupid, but probably not the worse thing they've ever done before. (question: can anyone confirm that the bound guy in front of Karen is the same scientist from chapter 1 who tried to have Liliy and Touma incinerated?) |

And really, they of all people must have known that the Hucks are a lawless group with a penchant for slaughter. Was a face-to-face meeting instead of using holovids really a smart thing to do? It would make more sense had they tried to take precautions only for all to go south because the Hucks directly assaulted them. Letting them enter just because the Hucks were dressed for business was...genre blind

v. in·fil·trat·ed, in·fil·trat·ing, in·fil·trates v.tr. 1. a. To pass (troops, for example) surreptitiously into enemy-held territory. b. To penetrate with hostile intent: infiltrate enemy lines; terrorists that had infiltrated the country. 2. To enter or take up positions in gradually or surreptitiously, as for purposes of espionage or takeover: infiltrated key government agencies with spies. 3. To cause (a liquid, for example) to permeate a substance by passing through its interstices or pores. 4. To permeate (a porous substance) with a liquid or gas. I'd say it fits. Quote:
Not meeting face to face is a sign of distrust, and as the company trying to sell stuff that is the last thing you want. Yes, now that things went teribad we can go "dohoho, how stupid of them" but if things hadn't ended in a bloodbath none of us would have even let out a peep about them entering weapons and all. Hindsight is 20/20. |

And I don't see why the deal must be done at their own facility. If face-to-face is necessary, why not in a neutral location? And again. Representatives, anyone? At least if things go wrong, only a few unfortunate people bites it. EDIT: Maybe Justin is right; something in the story necessitated it happening there, and that's something we won't know until translations pop out. I just hope it's a good reason.

This is why I wish we had some more translator support, selfish as that may be.

I hope it is a good reason too. But on a bright side, Vandin still has never done anything nearly as bone headed as Umbrella. |

Wait, that might actually be fun. After chasing the Hucks all over the sector, the Reapers invaded the final battle takes place on Earth, bringing the story into full circle. Bonus points if Precia is involved.

Hindsight is fun, but again, if nothing had gone wrong we wouldn't so much as peeped. |

And again, weapons screening. I repeat, leaving any weapons they carry at the security or not letting them enter as long as they carry one car is not an alien concept in the verse, considering it had already happened in StrikerS.
