Three more HCS officers were killed yesterday in attacks across Cloneworld and one more badly injured. In one attack Colonel Slimis of the 30th Artillery Regiment was killed in his bath when a SOT intruder in his house dropped a hairdryer into the water. The wide variety of attack methods and the sheer number of possible targets is making it very difficult for the authorities to counter this wave of attacks.
"The only way would be to restrict every HCS officer to barracks, that would be tens of thousands of men. The HCS could not operate if that happened." a spokesman for HCS GHQ said.
The focus has now moved to trying to destroy SOT but that could prove very difficult. According to an unnamed HCSIntel officer the SOT "Is highly dispersed into cells of maybe two-four men with maybe only one concentration of troops around XE. Its likely that even if XE was caught or killed the other cells would continue operations."
