> "What can we do about it? If we are facing genetically engineered
soldiers, especially ones based form superior fighting stock to begin

was
starting to run possible courses of action in his head.
"Theirrr advantage only comes in melee. If we could get a carrrrierr out therrre, we
would have the advantage. Theirrr space combat tactics arrre rrrudimental, fighting
with a pack mentality. But we must trrry to avoid face-to-face combat at all costs.
We'll only end up the loserrrs. We must
find arrrm's length techniques to deal with them. Forrrtunately,
Admirrral Lasiterrr has orrrderred a full task forrrce into the rrregion. That should
take the wind out of theirrr sails a little. But we need to think of otherrr tactics.
On a planet, I would use long-rrrange arrrtillarry to take them out. Something like
that. Orrr, involve Intell and surrrgically alterrr a Caitian operrrative to go deeep
coverrr to strrrike frrrom within. We may still turrrn the prrrisonerrs, too, if
we'rrre extrrremely lucky." She didn't hold out much hope for that. Only rarely in
history had anyone ever succeeded
in turning a Mikan; her instincts told her it was a waste of time with these creatures.
"At least we have options, and with the task force in place, we have some time. What
do we do from here?"
