The A.F.R.'s mirror-ambush plan — "Balbalis permitted at Montpelier a brief…"
Balbalis permitted at Montpelier a brief stop for final assembly and for those who were incontinent to change their bags.
Context
Ops logistics in the fallout-emptied ghost town: the mirror's final assembly and the incontinence bags handled in one scheduled halt, with identical grammar. The A.F.R.'s damaged bodies impose real maintenance costs on a military timetable, and the narration logs them exactly as it logs the equipment — no pathos, no euphemism, pure procedure.
