He had come less than thirty minutes ago, in a hijacked shuttle, warning them of an imminent attack. Tina didn’t need an explanation to know he was the contact Kenneth had mentioned. She was surprised though, because she had been under the impression that Thomas Dunn was one of Havelar’s closest henchmen. Also, he didn’t seem the type, but then again, who did? He seemed to have a good grasp of what was going on though, and when she heard the kind of force they would be facing, Tina cursed herself for letting Greg go off like he had. Greg had left with his group of about thirty armed men and women, less than an hour before Thomas Dunn arrived. They were to set up defensive positions on the north bank of the Trickler at the nearest crossing. The soldiers would cross about two kilometers upriver, where the ice would be safe to walk on, and the plan was to use the ice-covered river as a virtual kill zone. They had no illusions that they would be able to hold off an attacking force, but the plan was to slow them down and make them take the longer route, further west, in order to give the rest a chance to flee.
