You are to set charges round the entire facility. They must be ready for remote detonation as soon as I have recovered the virus from the vault.
Key structural areas should be targeted to ensure that the facility is completely destroyed. I want nothing left of this place when we're done.
You should also set charges in the research labs themselves, including data servers. EVERY TRACE OF PROJECT ESCHATON MUST BE ELIMINATED.
Have your men ready for evac as soon as they're done. On no account will I delay the destruction of this facility.

I'm not interested in your excuses. You're taking too long, period.
I had your categorical assurance that the pulse-amplified laser cutter you requested would cut through the metal cladding of the vault door. Now you bleat to me about multiple layers of cladding, super-hardened alloys, reinforced concrete filler and the rest.
Let me be clear. This facility is shortly going to be blown to hell and back. But you're not leaving unless and until that vault is opened.
Now carry out your orders.
