Beneath Our Heels (Dominion Mission)

As Dav continued his little rant, Te'Veen stood their patiently waiting. After all, it's not like they were being rushed for time. No matter what the insurgents did, the building would crumble, though not as Te'Veen had planned.

When the man finally silenced himself after his little hissy fit, Te'Veen spoke. "I'm not Republic. If I was, you'd already be dead, and Krom would be parading my head as his prize. Don't you forget that..." Te'Veen countered, although that's all he chose to say. He refused to stoop to the other mans level and give his own little rant. Sure, Te'Veen had cast his morals aside with little regard, but the mission always came before ethics.

As Te'Veen's thumb depressed the trigger to the explosives, he gazed out one of the portholes to watch. Initially, He couldn't see much do to all of the dust, but he could tell the blast was larger than they had agreed upon. The rumbling of falling rubble was loud enough that he could feel it in his chest. He shook his head slightly. "Krom, did you have your fun?" Te'Veen teased, alluding to the excess explosives he had placed.

Krom ignored his comrades as they bickered, instead waiting on the impending demise of those in the building. The anticipation was building inside Krom in an exponential fashion, the Mandalorian almost jumping with joy like a child on Life Day by the time Te'Veen's thumb depressed the switch that activated the explosives.

In his mind's eye, Krom imagined the last seconds of those inside the factory. The pressure from the shockwave would eliminate the structural integrity of the building and the blast would result in confusion or, at least, it would for the short second or two that it would take for the building to begin falling. The majority would be killed instantly either due to falling debris or as a result of being crushed by the building collapse. Those left inside would likely be too injured to effectively self-extricate and it would be too late for those still alive by the time rescue efforts could reach them.

Snapping himself back to reality, Krom had quite the spring to his step as he nodded happily to Te'Veen and exited the tank through the top hatch. He would keep his helmet on, though would activate the integrated speakers and would speak loudly enough for the gathering civilians to hear. "Attention, everyone! The people inside the factory made the grave mistake of biting the hand that feeds them. The Dominion brings trade, peace, and security to this world and yet the malcontents inside planned to ruin all of that for their own selfish gain. The Dominion does not turn a blind eye or ear to its constituents. We are NOT the Republic. Bring issues to our attention, be the change you would like to see. Do not make the same mistake, lest you suffer the same fate."
