Raven RiversRaven was just headed outside, barely a few steps away from the Colonel's office, when the brawl broke out, a brawl between the Tankers and Tarak's own band of groupies for reasons he did not want to know about. Seriously, just because he lost his marbles did not mean everyone else had to lose theirs'!
He then commed the Colonel, saying, "I'm getting Colonel Dalton and as many Infantry as I can commandeer on short notice. This has to be nipped in the bud - I'll talk to Doc Yuri later after additional combat fatigue and injuries."
Before this entire war started, the Green Knights had been on
garrison duty, putting down brawls and riots with the minimum of cruelty and heavy-handedness, unlike their Capellan paymasters. Raven had, before things went to hell, been a good soldier and this incident brought back some of his learned instincts. The moment he made contact with any squads of Infantry close to the brawl site/hangars, he would shout, "Cordon off the hangar bay! Repeat, cordon off the hangar bay! This is Pilot Rivers, requesting Sgt. Dalton and all Infantry to prepare for riot control; anyone with any experience as riot police is to step forward and help me restore order - We cannot allow this to spread!"
Raven knew no one respected him now that he was losing his edge, his sanity, and anything that made him 'serviceable'. But that was no reason for him not to try and do his part; he just had to remember his lessons and make the right call. No fancy gimmicks such as turning off the lights or using the sprinklers. He and Sgt. Dalton and any Infantry with riot police experience will form up around the edges of the mech bays, then begin the process of restoring order by slowly closing in, whatever improvised shields and blunt weapons they had up, and demanding that the riot be stopped 'In the Name of the Colonel'. If they had spare Anti-Riot weapons such as sticky foam, sound guns, or anything rescued from the initial escape from the Crimson Fists, those would be used.
He'd let Sgt. Dalton be the carrot to his stick as they put down the brawlers; let them hate, as long as they knew that there was still some fight left in him. Right now, Raven was going to resolve this swiftly, strongly, and with as little
pain as he could bring.
"Stop this at once!" he'd only bark out once before working with the Infantry to put down (non-lethally) the brawling crews, which he realized were divided among partisan lines between Tank Crew and Mech Crew (and Pilots). Then he'd turn to Sgt. Dalton and say, "You're neutral in this and everyone respects you; what should we say to make them stop?"
