Ethel: "What do you think Hecate will do?"
Lyle: "If I were Hecate, I'd blockade every single entry and exit in Ajax's territory, launch a simultaneous carpet search, and once I found Ajax and his men's hideout, I'd blow the whole thing straight to hell along with them."
Ethel: "That just goes to show you aren't Hecate. She'd never pull off a stunt like yours."
Lyle: "Then how do you suppose she'll handle it?"
Ethel: "High probability she leads a team in there herself and slits Ajax's throat."
Lyle: "Just wait. If Hecate can't hold out when the time comes, we'll still have to go in."
Meanwhile, Hecate had already surrounded the entire Loading Area with her troops. Ajax and the remaining Guards Battalion soldiers were making their final, desperate struggle inside. Naturally, Hecate wasn't going to let this golden opportunity slip, but for safety's sake, she didn't order a direct assault right away. After observing the situation from the perimeter, she immediately had her men bring over some Molotov cocktails.
Hecate: "Find a few guys with the best throwing arms, and toss all these Molotovs right into the buildings in the Loading Area. Unless Ajax is made of fire."
