(That was actually vey nicely done, Kringles. Tying up the inconsistencies and keeping it realistic, I mean.)

Platinum, Automne, and Fen gazed around, at the police busily working to treat the injured, at the gawking civilians and reporters behind the barriers, and at the totally haphazard current movements of BOB. it looked like the paramilitary, which just moments ago had been moving as one, cohesive body, had suddenly broken apart and scattered for no apparent reason whatsoever. Fen stood silently for a few moments, but caught on with the help of Platinum's sololiquy.

She turned over to her friends with the slightest humorless smirk on her face, but her somber tone clashed with the gesture. "Unless we missed something earlier, it looks like we're witnessing a top class coup d'etat before our very eyes." Rather than being terrified, the scene was troubling to the young heiress. The fact that corruption had been able to take such a deep hold in one of the strongest private military organizations throughout Remnant indicated that something was fundamentally wrong with the way their world was run. With private factions cropping up everywhere, it would be easy to start a war between two groups that could claim the lives of innocents with zero Grimm involvement. She remembered something Platinum had said once: ''Who needs Grimm? When there are so many evil people in the world already?''

"Is there a reason we're still here, then?" Automne's rough childhood experiences had taught her not to stick around when there was nothing to be won and everything to lose. "Even if we're huntresses-in-training, this isn't something we'll ever technically be required to deal with. So I think he's right," she said, gesturing to Oliver as she said so.

Platinum was the only one of her trio to hesitate. "Well, I guess if there's no one else in there, then we shouldn't get involved." She could feel Oliver's solemn gaze on her as she spoke. "Even so, shouldn't we stick around outside just in case BOB turns on the surrounding innocents? No offense, but city police don't stand much of a chance against such heavily armed soldiers, and I still want to see what this Flagg Insttute can do." Mostly she would feel really bad for ditching such a dangerous situation, which seemed to Platinum like running away.

Gearsy braced himself against the floor and blocked Casper's blow, and was about to follow up when a searing pain surged down his throat. His goggles had prevented the gas from reaching his eyes as well, but he doubled over with violent spasms as his body attempted to rid itself of the poison, leaving him open to a finishing blow. He dropped his massive sword on the ground as he began violently retching.

(Feel free to kill Gearsy off here :P)

Chaukk's bullet-ridden body lay on the cracked smooth floor. Unless Lavender had stuck around, the threat of the faunus gang had been permanently silenced.
