And people wonder why we have such well-equipped gamekeepers up here...

I'll send the boys out. Civilians would do well to find a safe location
at which to hold out for the next 24 hours. Somewhere with a decent
supply of food and drink would be ideal.

The Public Safety & Civil Defence budget will, of course, be covering
all expenses. Although I somewhat doubt that the defensive actions taken
in Public Safety's name will be very civil.

Sounds perfectly reasonable. Since that was the escape point I doubt
that any would try heading back there.

A suitable explanation of events will be made up when we've decided what
the official version is. Just relax and let the nice men in powered
armour take care of things.

I wonder if I take a small part of my TS supply and coat an area just south
of the cave it will act like fly papper to haggis
