Zed is sitting in one of the booths, and the table in front of him is covered with printouts. "Blueprints" doesn't quite seem appropriate. Better to call them "blackprints."

Zed is both studying and not studying them. Not studying them because, really, he knows the layout of MiB Headquarters by heart. But it's been a while since he had to retake the facility from an enemy force, and he's never had to do it against something as insidious as Black Oil.

So he's studying them. Planning tactics. And drinking whiskey. But mostly planning.

Zed looks up, then nods at the Bunny.

"Not much. Just printed out the schematics and plans for MiB HQ. Don't really need it." He taps his head. "All up here ever since day one. But it helps with the tactics."

"How about yourself?"

"Scrounged up a flamethrower."

The Bunny grins.

"Although, someone mentioned a proton pack?"

"Some of the team will have proton packs, but how many will depend on the number we can get our hands on. Bar won't replicate them--too close to a weapon. So we'll have to see how many we end up with."

"Anyway. If you have that, you're not going to be needing a pack. Had a chance to give it a field test?"

"Heh. Yeah."

The Bunnies eyes glow.

"Took out a ship fulla orcs."

"Well, you're welcome to have all the toasted Oil you can make."

Zed is feeling generous. At least about that.

"Good."

The Bunny peers again.

"So whats the plan fer the others?"

Zed shakes his head. "Not clear yet. Still running through possible alternatives. The problem with the Oil is it could take advantage of the facility's structure in ways I haven't had to deal with before. If I had a team of MiBs going up against typical alien soldiers, I'd say adopt standard urban fighting methods, enhanced with MiB zero-G combat training. We'd have them cleaned up in a matter of hours."

"But this, with the enemy possessed by Oil and our team having a varied mix of skill sets... We'll have the advantage of surprise, probably a few other advantages too. But it's going to take a while to work out tactics that will have everyone on their best footing but also tactics that even civilians can follow."

"It'll happen. But it'll take time."

"Got any mages?"

Cause the Bunnys been around this place.

"Could do exorcisms."

"Stantz performed some preliminary tests and couldn't detect a magical aura. So I doubt an exorcism would do much."

"But I wouldn't mind seeing someone try to blow the shit out of it with a magical blast."

Zed's a practical guy. If it makes a big boom, he's willing to try it.

"Ha!"

"I like you, old guy."

"Stick with me, Bunny. I plan to see you give that flamethrower one hell of a workout."

The Bunny pumps a paw.
