Chapter 256
.
The heroes found Terminus, and observed from a distance. They discussed what they knew and developed a plan.
.
Alexa: The main building looks like an abandoned meat plant, why would there be one in Hell.
Mary: Makes sense to me. Evil wants to keep people doing evil things, like cannibalism. Maybe making these guys a replica of their old world makes it easier for them.
Yolanda: Yeah, and they're probably desperate to avoid dying here and going to the Lake of fire.
Billy: I vote we go in now and stop them, rescue the hostages.
Alexa: Are we certain that they're really cannibalizing people?
Garek: I counted maybe 30 people with assault weapons. Did you see anyone that you recognized?
Alexa: No, not really.
Garek: Seems a bit odd that they wouldn't let the new refugees walk around freeley.
Sharon: Garek's right, they're likely in cages, being prepared for dinner.
Garek: As for just going in guns blazing, I have one rule. Any plan where I wind up dead is a bad plan. And that sounds like a bad plan.
Sharon: What do you suggest?
Garek: That we study their defenses for a day or so. Maybe grab a guard, force him or her to cooperate with us.
Billy; We waste time and they kill more people, possibly including my mother.
Sharon: We go in too early with no plan and they take us out, then they're all screwed. But there might be a way to speed things up. One of us goes in, pretends to be a refugee, can communicate through com their defenses.
Alexa: I'll do it. These Terminus people might have seen me, or one of the hostages could have told them about me.
Sharon: We can't guarantee we can rescue you in time.
Alexa: I know. But I need to make up for my own sins.
Garek: That's very brave of you. You'll need a convincing story. I'm happy to help you with the details.
