it does so thank you for the added insight, and truly from the implication of the defenders actions it was clear it was of some import, it was just the way I read the phrasing I think that made me wonder why the character expressed it in that manner.

Fun read, but this confused me a bit:
“Negative, Sigmund. If we fall back they get into the vault. Under no circumstance can that happen. I don't know why they want in there, but their folly could threaten this system! Hold your ground.”
Why is there a concern about the legions getting into the bunker/vault if they (humans) don't know what's in it? Yet are concerned the whole system may be at risk if they fail to defend it? It seems like there was a thought that might not have made it into the word count or got edited away?This is a solid mcguffin tale gone wrong concept mixed with the Battle of Five Armies level of involvement which is super hard to pull off in the limited word count, but if you had more space I think this could be really developed further (maybe in a sequel/prequel for next jam if the themes line up?)
Heh, actually reminds me of a story my Dad told me when he was at the National War College in the early 1980s doing Cold War scenarios, but he had done the one he was assigned to previously and told the instructors that. They said to just do the scenario rather than recuse him, so on the first opening turn he nuked the Soviet troop assembly areas making it impossible for the OPFOR to meet objectives so the instructors threw him out of the room :)
