years.  Today, the Warriors finally put their money where their mouth is and assaulted Dilbert HQ in New York.  The assault was surprisingly well-planned and they managed to capture over five hundred office drones and cubicle monkeys, along with the chairmen of the board.  They released a handful of hostages who needed urgent medical attention, using them to convey their demands to the Mayor.”
     
    One of the operators stuck up a hand.  “What do they actually want ?”
     
    “They gave us a list of demands,” Lane said.  “For the release of the hostages, they want new curbs on pollution and an end to corporate interference in Africa, as well as release and a full pardon for any of their members who are currently being someone’s bitch in prison.  And themselves as well, I assume.  They’re not going to get any of that, and they have to know it.  It will make them very dangerous.”
     
    Jackson couldn't disagree.  Unless the terrorists had someone who could teleport on their side, they weren't going to get out without running the gauntlet of police, National Guardsmen and soldiers assembled outside the captured building.  They had to know that they were trapped, unless they intended to use the hostages to buy them time to escape. 
     
    There was a pause as the team studied the maps.  “New York’s SWAT team, assisted by the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, launched an assault two hours ago,” Lane concluded.  “They were comprehensively defeated by a handful of superhumans involved with the Green Warriors, resulting in thirty dead and seventeen wounded.  The terrorists have since informed the Mayor that if he doesn't give in to their demands within five hours, the remaining hostages will be butchered.  You’ll be pleased to know that some of the hostages are quite important, with powerful friends who have urged the Mayor to do whatever it takes to free them...even if it means bending over for the terrorists.  The President has authorised Team Omega to intervene.”
     
    Sergeant von Shrakenberg took over.  “Our mission is to recover the hostages, eliminate the terrorists and recover the building, preferably intact.”  There were some chuckles from the team.  All of the reports Jackson had read suggested that Team Omega’s operations tended to get messy.  “As you can see, the building is isolated from its fellows, leaving us with only a handful of possible assault routes.  Landing on the roof has been dismissed as the terrorists have at least one flyer among their number.”
     
    Jackson listened as the Lane went through what little was known about the terrorists, particularly the superhumans among them.  “Five appear to have enhanced strength and durability, little else,” the Sergeant agreed.  “One appears to be a flyer; probably Level 3 as she didn't join the fighting against the SWAT team.  The other two appear to be mutants with enhanced speed and strength.  I don’t need to remind you that mutants can be very deadly enemies.”
     
    Lane nodded, drawing their attention back to the holographic schematic of the building.  “As far as we can tell, most of the hostages have been placed in the underground vault here,” he said, tapping the schematic.  “Unfortunately, someone has taken out the security cameras so we can’t be sure, but it makes tactical sense.  However, a number of hostages have been taken to the upper floors of the building, where they are being...interrogated by the terrorists.  The main body of the terrorist force appears to be on the first and second floors, allowing them to keep the hostages penned in and respond to a second attack from the NYPD.
     
    “Snipers will deploy here, where they will take out every terrorist within sight as soon as I issue the order to move.  Team Alpha will scale the building here”—he pointed to the rear of the building, which was decorated in a fashion that should leave plenty of handholds for the operators to
