Well of course, if they were to head DC, that would be up to really, Serris in the end if he wants everyone to head to DC first or to another base sort of thing.
I mean DC is not a real priority at the moment. Only high priority target there is Trinity, as I myself, don't consider Dietrik a real high priority target, unless his plan, mentioned a while ago, is put into action.
However, Viper and Zara, who are also at the base, they can hold it off....bah, I forget the word now....which is probabally what will happen, as in, the two of them would have to end up escaping.
So I guess in other words, DC can be considered a target and all. Granted where in DC I don't know where exactly, perhaps somewhere underneath the Smithsonian?(sp?)
