SERIES NOTES:  This fanfic is based on the 'No More Noise' storyline of
Dominion Tank Police.  For those of you not familiar with this series,
here's a basic rundown:

	The bacterial clouds over Newport are gone, and the Tank Police seem to
be doing much better than ever.  Leona's minitank, Bonaparte, has been
duplicated, and the TP now uses platoons of them alongside the larger
tanks.  Leona has been promoted to Sergeant and is the leader of a squad
of three tank teams (two people per tank), and Brenten is now Platoon
Leader.  Apart from the Chief and Pak (the guy with the glasses), none
of the other TP officers are in evidence.
	Those infamous criminals, Annapuma and Unipuma, have joined the Tank
Police - as androids, and therefore tools, they are not liable for the
criminal acts Buaku told them to do (of course, they did a lot of
freelance work, too, so I dunno...).  Uni was assigned to Internal
Affairs, and Anna was assigned to Leona's squad, much to Leona's
perpetual delight (she has so far shot Anna, with rubber bullets, on
three separate occasions, all in the same day).  Of course, Anna's
six-foot-two frame wouldn't easily fit in a Bonaparte, so she displays
an unusual talent - the ability to shed most of the water in her body
and thereby shrink down to a more manageable three feet tall or so.  In
this form she looks to be about seven or eight years old (in human
terms), and her personality changes to match.  Be afraid.
	As for the rest of her squad, Leona leads the following officers:
	Corporal Habana - Leona's second in command, he always wears a breather
mask and is confined to a wheelchair, a condition most likely caused by
exposure to the bacterial clouds before they dissipated.
	Officer Asada - Cut from a similar mold as Leona, though she's more
interested in making arrests and doing 'cool' police stuff than blowing
things up.
	Officer Shinozaki - Fairly straightlaced and 'by the book', he's big
into salutes and proper titles, much to the amusement and occasional
annoyance of Leona and Habana.
	There was another member of the team, a rookie named Shimizu, but he
was assigned to Leona's squad for only a month, and has since been
replaced...

	As should be obvious, asterisks around sentences will denote thoughts,
and brackets will denote radio transmissions.

	Right now, I'm tenatively deciding that this'll be a six-chapter
fanfic.  That may change, depending on circumstances.  Also, it'll be a
bit darker than 'Catling Rivalry', but then this is a Dominion fic.

	C&C welcomed, but please no MSTing without asking me first.
