What
would
Ortega
have
said
?
I
thought
about
Ortega
,
and
the
image
of
her
face
was
a
tiny
pocket
of
calm
amidst
the
jeering
and
yelling
that
Carnage
had
whipped
up
.
With
luck
and
what
I
’
d
left
her
at
the
Hendrix
,
she
’
d
take
Kawahara
down
for
rue
.
Knowing
it
was
enough
.
Carnage
drew
a
heavy
-
bladed
,
serrated
knife
from
his
robes
and
held
it
aloft
.
A
relative
quiet
descended
on
the
chamber
.
"
The
coup
de
grâce
,
"
he
proclaimed
.
"
When
our
matador
has
put
Elias
Ryker
down
so
that
he
no
longer
has
the
strength
to
rise
,
you
will
see
the
stack
cut
from
his
living
spine
and
smashed
,
and
you
will
know
that
he
is
no
more
.
"
He
released
the
knife
and
let
his
arm
fall
again
.
Pure
theatre
.
The
weapon
hung
in
the
air
,
glinting
in
a
focal
grav
field
,
then
drifted
upwards
to
a
height
of
about
five
metres
at
the
mid
-
point
of
the
killing
floor
.
"
Let
us
begin
,
"
said
Carnage
,
withdrawing
.
There
was
a
magical
moment
then
,
a
kind
of
release
,
almost
as
if
an
experia
scene
had
just
been
shot
,
and
we
could
all
stand
down
now
and
relax
,
maybe
pass
round
a
whisky
flask
and
clown
about
behind
the
scanners
.
Joke
about
the
cliché
-
ridden
script
we
were
being
forced
to
play
out
.
We
began
to
circle
,
still
the
width
of
the
killing
floor
apart
and
no
guard
up
to
even
hint
at
what
we
were
about
to
do
.
I
tried
to
read
Kadmin
’
s
body
language
for
clues
.
The

are
simple
,
but
not
to
be
scorned
on
that
account
,
they
had
told
us
prior
to
the
Sharya
landings
.
The
imperatives
for
the
builders
were
strength
and
speed
,
and
in
both
of
these
they
have
excelled
.
If
they
have
a
weakness
it
is
that
their
combat
patterning
has
no
random
select
sub
-
routine
.
Right
Hand
of
God
martyrs
will
therefore
tend
to
fight
and
go
on
fighting
within
a
very
narrow
band
of
techniques
.
