A splendid job and a compelling read. I recall your mentioning you were a veteran of this site in your introduction. If you've posted your work in yesteryears, together with all of the other good writers whose works echo here today, I would've been an active member earlier. "Very well done," as your character, Lambridge, said.

You have my upvote.

Well that escalated quickly (at the end).

You have my up-vote, even thou I am not quite sure why the DIA could not find 19+ rebels in a base.
It is clear to me that you understand the Department of Internal Affairs differently than I do.
(I am having a good laugh thinking about the end and the aftermath once my version of the DIA gets involved.
This story dose not have a time marker so it is entirely possible that this was before my version of the DIA even took shape.)

I imagine this facility to be situated in a cold Slavic forest during a cool, crisp autumn. In fact, putting aside that I'm not particularly versed in Russian history, the tension between Lambridge's mildness and Petrushev's rashness has a Lenin-Stalin vibe to it. Also, I think the Garden Man is notably impersonal in his appearance in this story. I have my ideas on what kind of character he is, but I'd love to see him again in another story.

Also, Agent Paelfang - that's a surname people should run away from. Wonder if he'll return? Would you care to write about him, too? He's not especially characterized here but he could have potential.

I enjoyed the story very much. The digression with the researchers, Olga and Vaclav, delighted me lots.
