TIGER continued his careful crawl through the residence, straight to the command room. He expected Graf Otto von Henessen to be there, after all. To his surprise, upon his arrival the room was empty. He crouched behind the main mahogany desk, rifling through the papers inside, hoping for somethign worthwhile.
A small sound made him jump up, three small daggers escaping his fist in a rapid throw. The woman who had startled him evaded two with a sweep of her body, the third gazing her throat. Contact poison would set in soon. He stepped towards her, and only then it all clicked together.... and who she was.
"You again," he said, his voice malformed by the gasmask built into his mempo. He assumed a loose jiujutsu stance, perfectly at ease.
"Ah, you met my doppelganger," she smiled, then struck out with a kick from her right leg. He blocked where he had expected the savate technique to hit him, and only when her three inch heel punched into side, probably tearing into a kidney, did he realise that this was not french kickboxing, as he had practiced against, but Filipino sikarat. That was nowhere in her file, he thought, before unleashing a vicious counterstrike, punchdagger emerging from between the fingers of his left hand.
She deflected his strike with a deft sweep of her hand, lightly pushing his wrist out of the way, then snapping her other hand towards his throat. That's more like it, he thought. He turned his head, taking the strike on the side of his hard plastic helmet/mask, and kneed her savagely in the stomach, then slammed his right fist into the back of her neck, at the same time bringing up his knee. The crunch was sickening as her spine snapped. He stood panting over her dead body for a moment, then turned and padded out of the room. He had a Count to kill.
Omtose is dead. He was Roldom, and Madame Marichord (Syndicate).

COBALT looked at Otto. Otto looked at COBALT. "The control room," she whispered, as all of a sudden alarms went blearing. "Marichord was there," he said. "Insisted on it, even. Deadly combattant, but an assassin that could get the jump on her... I guess all that is left for us here is kill these motherfuckers and leave to another Syndicate stronghold." God knows that won't be pretty, hoping for mercy from those vipers for this debacle.
He turned to a guard. "You! Get the flamethrower!" He drew his two H&Ks. "No more mister Nice Guy," he whispered. "Ehm, you know, you could give me a gun," COBALT said, tucking a straw blond lock behind her ear. "I am ambidexter. And it is still not explained why these guys show up here. So I don't fully trust you."
"I'll prove it to you," she said. "If it is the last thing I do, with my fucking bare hands, I'll prove to you that I am not a traitor."
Elsewhere, gunfire resulted in the untimely death of a sentry.
Kalse is dead. She was Grimface Insultbear, and Bodan Ignatovich, a sentry of the Syndicate.
From these two posts. I don't think that Kalse was killed by TIGER. Which could mean that TIGER had his kill already on Omtose and then didn't get on in time to change it to someone else. So who hasn't been on in the last several pages?
