Over a period of fifteen months, the CLF under Telmon, Ben, and Darmon had moved a massive amount of equipment into Capentia City—enough for a few thousand rebel fighters. In a city of tens of millions, they were going to be heavily outnumbered by PlanSec, but they hoped that with a combination of good planning, surprise, and luck, their plan would succeed. The CLF in the countryside and elsewhere on Capentia had spent many years collecting enough equipment and men for this offensive. If they could capture the capital, the liberation of the rest of the planet was within their grasp.
Telmon and Ben planned on focusing their efforts on a few key facilities in order to avoid spreading out their already limited numbers. All of the targets would be hit at the same time. The most important, militarily speaking, was the PlanSec headquarters—or rather, the reactor within it. They knew that they didn't have enough men to dream of taking on the entire facility—it was, after all, the most heavily guarded place in the entire city—but luckily for them the HQ's power reactor was near the outer wall. Ben would have liked to go after one of the armories nearby in order to pilfer some extra high-tech equipment straight from PlanSec, but Telmon correctly pointed out that it would be nearly impossible to do both. Nobody said it, but it was generally understood that the reactor mission was a one-way trip. Their job was to overload the reactor and destroy the entire facility. Theoretically, they were supposed to escape before it blew, but everyone knew that it would be all but impossible to get out once they were inside.
The other targets were the Capentia News Network broadcast station, the Government House (the meeting place of the Capentian legislature), and the Arcultian viceroy. The entire plan was supposed to start with the assassination of the Arcultian viceroy. They would use explosives, of course. Security would be too tight for a gunman to get anywhere near the viceroy. Once the viceroy was dead, the government would hopefully be thrown into chaos, making the rest of the plan that much easier. Ben planned to make liberal usage of explosives. IEDs planted throughout the city would detonate one after another at seemingly random intervals. This would hopefully further confuse PlanSec and reduce their efficiency in responding to the attacks.
In the deep dark sewers beneath the city, Telmon, Ben, Darmon, and several others held their last meeting before the "big day."
"Tomorrow," Telmon said, "we begin the overt path towards freedom and liberty." He raised a glass. "To Capentia."
"To Capentia," replied all the others as they clinked their glasses together. Once they had downed their drinks, Ben said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Darmon, one last time, while we are launching our offensive in Capentia City..."
"Myself and my men, in coordination with our brother cells across Capentia, will launch guerrilla operations against weak PlanSec garrisons in order to stretch the Arcultians as thin as possible," Darmon said.
"It is important to remember," Ben interjected, "that not all of PlanSec is Arcultian. Outside of the capital, most of PlanSec's personnel are Capentian."
"Not anymore," a CLF officer said. "The moment they chose to collaborate with our oppressors, they lost the right to call themselves Capentians. They are no better than Arcultians; worse, even." Many heads around the room nodded in solemn agreement. There would be much blood spilled in the uprising, and not all of it would be Arcultian.
