Option 3: Demolition |
The final option is highly problematic due to humanitarian concerns, but should be
reserved as an option in the event of catastrophic reversals against the earthside
Resistance. Command should plan for this contingency, but it should not be
revealed to or discussed with any subordinates unless it becomes essential to
do so. This operation is, in essence, a suicide strike against the lunar Di-Cor operation with an eye towards precipitating the economic collapse of the WEC as discussed above. Such an operation would probably result in the deaths of virtually all Resistance personnel on the moon, and possibly all human life on Darkside station. For such an operation to be effective it would be necessary not only to stop all Di-Cor production, but also to leave the mining operation in such a state that production could not be resumed without a major construction effort. In short, the wholesale destruction of the entire Lunar colony is implied. Furthermore, if the WEC economy was externally destroyed in this fashion, there would also be tremendous resultant human suffering earthside. Lunar Command is not to initiate this operation or any similar action without express authorization from Central Command. |
