Matthias started forward. Slipping into the brush, he crept along, until the silo came into sight, buzzing with activity. Frowning, he motioned Richard forward.
The sniper lifted his rifle, and started picking off soldiers. Matthias slipped over through the other side in the intervening chaos and into the silo.

The original commanding officer had already been shot. Jonathan was to be his second in command, he was told.
Jonathan spoke to a conjured image of the Dark Lady's face, through a mage who stood nearby.
"
My lady. The silo's are coming under siege. This one will be the first to fall, and many others soon afterward. We cannot sustain a brute-force charge from the humans, even if all our forces were centralized here... If we were to be on the verge of failure, do we have permission to begin launch?
"
The Dark Lady's mouth opened, a bullet whistled through the air...
Before Sylvanas could speak, the mage was hit, killed instantly disrupting the portal.
Damn. There was no time... He would have to do it anyways.
He stepped out of the armored crypt, serving as a bunker, and addressed the chaos-induced masses.
"
PREPARE THE DEFENSES. PRIME YOUR WEAPONS, SET TURRETS AND MINES. BUT FIRST, SHOW THEM THE WHITE FLAG OF CEASE-FIRE. LET IT NOT BE SAID WE ARE DISHONORABLE, THEY SHALL KNOW EXACTLY THE CONSEQUENCES SHOULD THEY ASSAULT US.

"Charges set," Matthias said into his radio. "Preparing to set off in five minutes."

Jonathan heard a small buzz behind him. A very faint crackle. Almost that of a... Radio? None of the soldiers had radio at this location, save himself, too easy to detect by Blood Elves. They used magic to communicate.
He headed toward the source of the sound, finding the human.
"
So. We meet again. Didn't think several hundred thousand newtons of force and some hot metal moving at hundreds of miles per hour would kill ME did you?

Matthias chuckled and pulled out a silver icon, hurling it at the Forsaken. "The Light surely will," he spat, and turned to run.

Jonathan tried to dodge, but the object bounced off his shoulder, and the light coursed through him, searing pain to the touch. He dropped to the floor and rolled over, cursing as he waited for it to subside. He could make no move towards either human. He got up slowly, and a necromancer ran to his side, but he was shoved away. "
Not now. I have matters to discuss with whoever's leading this circus.

Matthias sprinted out of the silo. Ten seconds later, the charges placed on the missiles exploded. The whole launch section of the silo went up in flames and smoke, torching the plague bombs and destroying them.
"Mission accomplished," Matthias said with a grin.

"No idea," he replied. "It may be, if there are more silos." His face broke into a grin. "And if there are, I'll let you push the button."

Jonathan heard massive explosions, whirling around to see the silo's cloaked in smoke and flame.
"
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.
" He yelled at himself. How could he not have seen this coming? Why else would they have infiltrated? The male human had mentioned other silo's though. Not all of his bargaining chips had been lost, from what he gathered from his new underlings is that this was but one of hundreds of the silo's. However, the defeat did give him an opportunity. Perhaps this wasn't so bad.
He tore a long piece of fabric off a nearby shirt, hanging on a post, and wound it round a long stick. White flag.
He proceeded from the encampment, toward the majority of the human forces, flag held aloft.

"Ready to surrender?" Matthias called, seeing the Forsaken.

Jonathan's smirk almost returned for a moment, but he kept a straight face. A grave straight face.
"
Surrender what? You haven't left me much to defend here. My compliments on that job, by the way, very well performed. Made a right fool of me. And I'm not arrogant enough to think this force could hold back the entire UUH army from the other hundred or so other silo's.
"
He paused, letting that sink in.
"
Yes, that's correct, hundreds. Just before you're espionage job, I was given orders, directly from Lady Sylvanas, to address to your army, that should the silo come under attack I had full authority to commence launch. Not just on this silo either. On all of them. That seems of little use now, but the guiding idea still stands. If your army advances, missiles shall fall like rain upon your precious kingdoms, and you shall know loss through this blight more then even our fore-fathers once did to the usurper king. But you mentioned your own missiles, and I doubt you'd let yourselves die without a final breath of action. And they would rain on our cities and towns and lands as blood once did over Light's Hope. We both hold in our hands the ability to wipe each other off the face of the earth, and as one falls, he shall strangle the other in his corpse-grip, obliterate them in his death-throes.
And if you're armies advance, we shall lose that power, and it shall be held only by you. And we will have no choice but to become your slaves or risk a second final death. My people know what slavery is, far more then any other being can say. We spent years without wills, under the will of he who we most hated, and we shall never allow ourselves to be subject to this again. We will have no choice but to launch. And in turn you shall have none.
So here's my proposition to you: Turn around, and no one gets hurt, for now at least. Continue forward, and every single man woman and child you have ever known, and every single man woman and child I have ever known, will die.
What say you?

"Hundreds?" Matthias scoffed, disguising his fear. "Where would you put them all?"
He shook his head. "Regardless, I have no authority to make that decision. You'll have to send a message to the king..."

The Forsaken are fairly good at hiding things. Take Undercity. We hid a capital under the ruins of an old one. If you want to hide a tree, place it in a forest. Tirisfal, Silverpine, and Eversong are all fairly wooded, don't you think? Send your king a message, but I'd recommend not moving before then. We've set up a border, anyone attempting to cross will result in a launch. If I do not return to my troops within fifteen minutes, a launch will be commissioned. I give you two hours. If you've reached a conclusion before then, send up a flare. If two hours passes, and we receive nothing we will send a scouting squad to check up on you. If they report something amiss, or do not return in thirty minutes, a launch will be commissioned.

Jonathan looked confused. What was this strange one talking about?
"
You made a direct attack upon a URNL blight missile silo, and referenced destroying others multiple times. What has this to do with elves? Either way, it matters not. I've made my terms final.

Matthias frowned and clicked off the mic he was holding, having recorded the whole thing. A voice crackled on the other end. "Understood Matthias, transmitting to Stormwind now."
"We'll stop," Matthias called. "Don't fire."
