The Fall of Bonn

[Gentlefood]

Frederick lurched his battle-suit into motion, its thunderous steps audible far down the corridor he walked through. Manipulating the controls on his console he toggled two of the on-board targeting-IFF subsystems their strobes flickering to life as they autonomously scanned the hallway updating Frederick's HUD with possible threats and data.

He pulled up a schematic and mapped a route to his next destination, the maintenance shaft. Baring any problems he should be able to use that to traverse the upper decks. Turning on his local comms he announced, "Achtung! All civilian personnel are to remain in their quarters und await further instructions from Rheinwehr marines. Any civilian caught outside of their quarters will be arrested und possibly incapacitated."

Frederick toyed with the notion of adding a 'resistance is futile' but his discipline kept him in check. He hoped for the sake of the civilians that they would heed his warning, one can only be so gentle in a war machine.
