2 minutes and 20 seconds have passed. The center console displays a variety of warnings about the condition of the turret. If we're ready to do this before it's broken, it could help us a bit. The other turret is blocked right now.
>Make a pair of cluster grenades; one with 7, and one with 4.
I start working on wiring the grenades into a cluster bomb. I start with the 4 grenade cluster. While I work Toal asks me questions.
"Will the cluster grenades do enough damage?"
"The 4 grenade bomb will shatter the lens on the top. Even if the glass isn't destroyed, that much force at that range will heavily damage the sensors."
"So it'll be functionally blind."
"That's right." I continue to work on the bomb, and when I finish the first one, I get to work on the second.
"7 is enough to destroy the treads?"
"It can blow out one of the treads if you get it ont he inner face."
"That won't immobilize it?"
"It'll be crippled." I finish the second bomb, and start getting the bags rigged up to work as bolas.
"Oh, I get it." Toal realizes what I mean. "I'll use the walls to steer if it works."
"Yeah. It won't be able to pursue or ram us, so we'll be able to use cover more effectively." I finish the bombs. Two cluster grenades in bolas. I hand them to Toal and explain how to use them. I also explain how to operate the door, the emergency lock down, and the shutters.
"Alright, I'm ready." Toal is resolute.
4 minutes, 40 seconds have passed. It's now or never, but do any of you have any last second thoughts or observations?
