"Hey captain, when the general asked for a distraction, why'd he send both of us?" Asked Neroi Irathoi, a corporal with the Spec Ops.
"He probably hoped you might learn something about precision explosives." Bit said calmly as he placed another explosive at the base of the abandoned tower across from the Terethion Corporation's headquarters.
"Really? So he wants you to teach me how to blow things up carefully?" Neroi asked.
"No, he sent you with the wrong person for that. Sure, we could carefully plant the explosives and simply collapse this building, but when he asked for a distraction...he said he wanted it to be a big one." Bit replied. "Granted, I'm sure he was just exaggerating, but I won't pass up an opportunity to light up the sky and shake the ground."
"Are you sure about that? If you know he's exaggerating, wouldn't it be wrong to overdo this?" Neroi asked ignorantly.
"I'd rather use too much than not enough." Bit replied as he primed the detonator.
"Wouldn't that be a waste of the Corps' resources?" Neroi asked.
"Look kid, just shut up and get running. I'm setting the timer." Bit said as a harsh beeping sound began slowly and began to quicken in pace.
The pair sprinted from the building and made their way to the Spec Ops outfitted Kiratiori as quickly as they could. Once the aircraft lifted from the ground and burst forward, the deafening roar of an explosion sounded and shattered every window in the general area as well as spreading massive amounts of debris.
Neroi fell to his knees holding his hands over his ears while Bit simply stared with a smirk on his face.
"I think I could have done more...oh well, too late now." Bit said with a sigh as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Damnit Bitheroi! I said make a distraction, not a disaster!" General Rukon said over the Comm link.
"You know good and well that if you give me access to an explosives cache of that size and ask for a distraction I'll deliver and then some." Bit replied with a chuckle. "Well, aren't you guys wasting a perfectly good distraction just waiting there?"
"Fine Bitheroi, but you'll hear about this in debriefing."
Neroi finally got up and glared at Bit.
"Well kid, probably a good time to get your ears checked." Bit said simply.
