Well, Bob’s already decided on something else for the Reality Quake, so that’s a non-issue. Personally, I had the silly idea that, through the entire war, the American, British and Chinese troops just stared at each other through Hong Kong, never firing a shot.
I doubt that the IST would allow for leaves of absence during a time of war, and an international crisis. That seems more like the time they would suspend all leave and call all members into active duty. They are still a military organization.
And, if they did take out Witchwind . . . they’ll have to answer to either The Warrior (if they’re lucky) or a very, very angry Argurous.

They’re chosen because they excel under pressure and are veteran leaders. All taking out the U.N. (and even IST New York) is going to do is make them really angry. They do still have some civilian oversight—the embassy administrator. Most of the administrators are not going to stop the field commanders from doing what they do best.
