Get out now

"Corporal Alice this is General Catherine. I'm ordering you to get yourself out of there." You said, surprising her, fortunately not enough to make her flinch her arms.

"Ma'am I can get a bit farther, they don't suspect-."

"Now. Every step is a chance you get discovered. You've given me what I need. Now kill that bitch and get back here." You ordered.

"Understood." She replied. It was a beautiful moment when she brought her arms down and drew her knife. Obviously her main weapon had either been taken or dropped by her for the ruse but nobody really thought about knives until they needed them. The UCA had obviously not wasted the effort on taking something that couldn't be used with frozen arms or get caught by the greenery. You actually had the same policy and immediately sent Tess a note to revise it. In any case the guard didn't know what hit her as the blade struck her in the back and locked her up. Alice didn't stop to check the kill and took off running into the cover of the trees. You gave her HUD a way-point and immediately sent a quick reaction **** to the location, Stella wasn't ready yet so this time you ordered First Lieutenant Arriana to go and set up an ambush in case the enemy decided to launch a chase.

Those fears proved unfounded and Alice and Esmeralda both managed to return to friendly lines safely. When you questioned them later in the day after letting them rest they told you about how they had come up with the plan

Alice had been separated from the main ****, her squad had all been downed and after the retreat began Esmeralda had noticed she was missing. She'd gone back to find her and noticed an enemy patrol coming to pick up the dead heading straight for her. Alice managed to slip away thanks to her warning but had gotten an idea. Giving her mace to Esmeralda she had moved in and joined a pack of prisoners while the guards were focused on what was happening to Amelia. Esmeralda had followed along to help further narrow down the search area. The rest was history.

Both of them were promoted.
