NARRATOR: Beggar Bay command center...
S.A. Lieutenant: *over comm* Major, we've disarmed suspects, and taken them into custody. We are now moving towards Beggar Bay.
MURTAUGH: Excellent work, Lieutenant. Your squad just earned a no-shots bonus.
MAX: I thought you planned to flank them and press them into your killbox.
MURTAUGH: Oops. I sent so much force on that flanking run that the suspects surrendered.
There is no overkill, after all.
MAX: You can't say that if you pay them a bonus for not shooting.
MURTAUGH: Maxim 28: "If the price of collateral damage is high enough, you might be able to get paid for bringing ammunition home with you."
