Kyte stood at attention and saluted, deciding to follow protocol to give the girls a bit more time to get in position. It had been 12 minutes so far, he'd just need a little longer...
"I have come under orders to deliver a message in person, security code Vermillion-0A2. I must ask that the contents of this message not be recorded or otherwise stored in any method that can be accessed by personel without this clearance level."

If there was any suspicion, Murdoch is certainly not showing it.
"Very well," he agreed, sitting down behind his desk, and quietly offered a cigar to Kyte.

Yumi remained unmoved even with the knife pointing towards her neck.
"Mel..." she whispered. WeiLi held her ground, not wanting to startle Mel into any sudden moves.
"It's been so long," Yumi simply continued, though no longer walking towards her. The two women were now about an arm's width apart, almost within striking distance. Considering... whatever it is that is now happening, the Hi Nu Girl decided to simply see about talking her way out of this first...

"No, thank you," Kyte reached into one of the containers on his hip armor and pulled out a small cube, setting it in front of Murdoch. Once it was level on the table, it began to project a holographic image, which took a moment to stabalize. It was a map of the area around project Millenium.
"This is what my commander wishes to discuss with you. He is taking issue with a recent attack on an outpost near there, roughly one month ago. More specifically a skirmish near an outpost where you deployed and sided with a suspected traitor. One Kally Lyedalla..."

"The Major?" Murdoch furrowed his eyebrows, studying the image carefully, before facing the 'captain'. "I am fully aware of the attack against the Millenium Project, so what does that have to do with her?"

"We have reason to suspect that rather than apprehend a dangerous element, she has been protecting him," Just a bit longer..., "My commander is most displeased with this situation."

Mel looked at Yumi and cryed but didn't take the weapon away. "It hurts Yumi... I can't make it go away this time... Why won't the pain go away?!" She said this and did not send it using her Newtype power, she looked at Yumi. "Why won't it go away Yumi?" she sobbed a bit as they stood at odds with each other.

It took him only mere moments to figure out what Kyte meant by 'dangerous element'.
Was that who the Major was going to send me? he thought. Murdoch stared at his desk, his face tightened into anger.
"Exactly who does Khall suspect she's hiding?" he asked.
***
Yumi's expression softened up a bit, but still stood ready in case she suddenly leapt. This was not the first time she has seen this happen, and the Hi Nu Girl had quite some experience dealing with this 'personality'. This time, however, even she wasn't sure if she could help her...
"I... I wish I know..." was the only answer she could give, before refocussing her thoughts on Mel. But you are now with us... I will help you...

Sure enough, at that moment, the triplets finally moved. At least, one of them did.
The temporary ammunition dump at the north base camp suddenly exploded, while at the same time, some of the camps began catching fire and spreading towards the rest of the camp, causing scattered explosions wherever they went from setting off flammable materials.
At about the same time as the fire spread, repeating cries of urgency rang out.
"It's a mutiny! Someone in the rear camps is rebelling! Mutiny!"
And the starter of it all?
"It's a mutiny! Watch out! Someone's rebelling from the rear camp! He's set the ammo dump on fire!" Sammy ran around urgently, calling it out, hoping it would catch other people's ears and make them worry, if not outright panic. Wearing a UEG uniform and with her tag barely visible, Sammy otherwise encountered little problems as she made her way through the crowd, crying it out behind some others, quickly walking towards the main camp to make sure Kyte heard it as well.

Just before the explosion, Kyte said two words, "Christopher Riley."
The sound of the blast ran through the camp.
Kyte smiled under his helmet, before pressing a button on his wrist and flash-detonating the datacube, leaving Murdoch temporarily blind, "Well, it seems this little farce is over with. Time to die, Murdoch. You made a powerful enemy when you attacked our base, and now you'll die to pave the way for the Dragon's empire!"
Almost instantaneously, Kyte's weapons materialized, saber in hand and firing his anti-ship missiles in full spread to cause as much damage as possible to the surrounding area, he charged.

...Murdoch, on the other hand, was more than prepared, as his Lunar Flash in blade form materialised, and clashed with Kyte's incoming saber.
"One thing for sure... captain," the general smiled almost a little too enthusiastically, "the farce is indeed over."
Hope that boy was ready for this... he thought.
With that, Murdoch fired up his second blade, and stabbed Kyte in the gut...

Kyte didn't dodge, didn't do anything to parry, in fact he even reached down and grabed the hilt of the sword, before kicking Murdoch onto his back. With both arms busy, the General was more or less unable to defend.
With a bit of space cleared between them, he pulled the sword out of his gut. It hurt, definately. More so than any other attack he had suffered recently, but it was still within his ability to self-repair, which Murdoch saw for himself as the nanomachines formed over the hole and crystalized into new flesh, bone and armor.

OOC: Just to let you know, both blades are emitted through his fingertips, so once kicked off, the sword would've been pulled out anyways.
IC: The general watched, as the wound he inflicted slowly healed. Shocked, very much so, but not enough to faze him... at least not yet.
"Well... impressive," Murdoch muttered. "Better than your s***** acting skills."
With that, the blades on his fingertips changed, the energy now dispersed into powerful beam fire, raining energy down at Kyte from the distance.

Kyte's double beam rifle materialzied and opened fire, along with another volley of missiles, this group focused entirely on the General. He dodged backwards and out of the tent, the yells of the triplets and the markings on his own armor definately lending support to the 'mutiny' theory they had started.

The general likewise jumped back to avoid the incoming fire, watching with a sigh as his tent was now nothing more than a fiery stain in the middle of the base.
Not one to stay on defence for long, Murdoch fired his thrusters, and charged towards his opponent, Lunar Flash blazing hot.

Mel stared at Yumi and was silent. "It hurts... Why won't it go away... I thought I had it under control... I thought it'd heal in time... Why?! WHY NOW?! It's never ending is it... It won't stop... Not till the day I die..." Where her thoughts.
