And Daniel went mad because accused of looting. It kinda has to do with his bio, it's hard to explain.

And he's arguing with a girl going through puberty. Mature.

No, he just scolded the girl like an abusive father, that's the level of maturity we're touching .

Aww, Sveta ignored me.
That was our chance to become bestest friends.

Sveta would have went "..." at her injunction anyway. She's not one to care if others speak up for her or not. Though, this is only Episode 1, so there'll be plenty of time to melt her icy heart.

-quietly gives up on that goal and adds people to the "To Be Succubused" list.-

Dieux, it's hard keeping up with this thing. I guess that's what I get for living in the Middle East.... :\

What's wrong with the Middle-East~?
...
...okay, a bunch of stuff. Where in the Middle-East do you live?

Qatar. Doha, to be precise. Coincidentally, it's also the birthplace of my character.
And yes, Het's right: I'm referring to timezones.

With Tendou taking pictures of everything, we can now break all of the stuff.

Are you playing that shitty X-COM FPS? Photos are not sufficient evidence, they are used only in case you cannot maintain the evidence in the same state.

In this case, waiting for a police team to extract a 36 tonne piece of evidence puts everyone at risk should the cartel send in more goons to the area, so yeah, we can't maintain that much evidence. A few pieces of package cocaine and weapons can be extracted out of the area immediately, but not a tank.

EDIT: And unless Rup says we can use magic Star-Trek-style teleportation a-la-Nanoha, we're not going to be able to bring the tank back to Paris.

[Firstaria]

Regardless of the fact that half of us have shown that they can RAISE that tank, how the APC arrived?

Transports and logistics takes time to organize. Ju and the other commanders probably planned the transport of the APC via ship or cargo plane prior way before hand. And based on their reaction, facing down tanks and air support was not part of their plans, much less expecting to capture at least one.

Like Sveta said, Daniel can try to get it to our forward base at the hotel later, granted that he has to somehow keep it under wraps, but I highly doubt you'll find much evidence in it other than where it was built. As for getting the tank back to Paris, good luck trying to persuade Ju and the other officers to burn more tax money. It would have been cheaper for the higher ups to leave this to the local police to conduct their inspect in El Salvador and e-mail the results back than sending the entire piece back to Paris. Trust me, they're answerable to the governments funding them, and they can't spend that money anyhow.

Duh Wolf, Maeve ninja'd you
She had suggested something like that before, ICcly.

My post came before yours, so technically Sveta ninja'd Meave.

[Firstaria]

Ok, I can see the point of the tax payers...but the Strela comes with us, or at least one of them.

[Alowwvia]

What's the point of wanting to take the tank again?

We invariably have better tanks than an old T-55, and it's doubtful that we can actually extract anything useful from it.

The correct thing to do in these situations is to destroy the tanks so they can't be salvaged.

[Firstaria]

I said we need evidence, and I backed down from tank, but now they want to destroy ammo too. That can be pulled for evidence.

Okay, arguing aside, I think I got an idea for what Jason's regular combat gear looks like. I'll be sure to post it when I'm on an actual computer.

Jason is gonna die if it does something that stupid again...

Tossing a grenade into a tank when people are around; Me, Maueve and Svetlana would have been blasted into the jungle!!!!

Um, you DO realize the tank Jason's gonna blow up is empty, right?

Fun fact-- dropping a live fragmentation grenade inside a tank will not actually destroy it. It would kill the crew, sure, but tanks are a lot harder to effectively 'destroy'.

There's a difference between 'crew killed', 'disabled/mission killed', and 'destroyed'.

Fun fact - standing near an exploding vehicle usually kills you.

The tank would not actually be destroyed, though.

Just use Thermite on the engine or the shell-loading part of the tank.

Or use the C4 with a distance control that we actually have according to Rup.

[Saurisisia]

Crap.

I might have to edit it to thermite then.
