To besiege something is to surround it and cut it off from the resources it needs to survive to force its surrender.

Taylor traded info with Other Taylor using Data transfer. Is she ready if the chance happens again? What does the other Want & NEED NOW?
Dr. Hasumi is paid well, she has how long under contract. As in how long till she is Free to do Tech Discovery? Did she get ideas from Projects done with & discarded?

Awesome to see this return, this is still by far my favorite fic on SB/SV.
Although, not sure if the Gloria POV was really necessary, we got all that info in the first part.
And now that I think about it, should this be provided by her boss? Or is Taylor sourcing cape bodies for cauldron?

Yes, if an enemy force invests itself it means that they are putting in the effort to contain their target and protect themselves

Tea is an often-tasty way to get essential nutrients such as life-giving caffeine. However, it sometimes brings greater satisfaction in the harbor than the cup.

Hahahaha. You think the contract has a termination clause or end date. Nope. If she does her job well enough, she might get soul-killed and resleeved just so she can keep going.

I am Sure she looked over the Contract and closed the Option Off. They do not know she can resleeve on her own, yet.
I have to admit, I am a sucker for a good "Taylor accidentally adopts Dinah as a kid sister" story, and while it won't be the main focus here it is still adorable and hilarious to see her trying to emulate her "big sister"

Obviously the "soul kill and resleeve" isn't in the contract, but more an implication from it. Probably something along the lines of "employees of X level can volunteer you for certain experiments" and defining "death" as data-loss over a certain percentage rather than a physical aspect, so they can volunteer her for a "soulkiller test" and she is still "alive" because she has over 90% data integrity. Also, remember she didn't get much choice in the contract. She may or may not have been kidnapped BY ARASAKA just for the rescue-and-join-us, and even if it wasn't Arasaka behind the kidnapping itself the rescue had a strongly implied join-us-or-we-don't-rescue-you and a less-strongly implied join-us-or-the-kidnappers-killed-you-before-we-got-here.
Does someone have the contact details of the Spanish Inquisition? I need to report a heretic

Just like a heretic to resort to blasphemy. After all, Jesus turned water into wine, and the great Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." So, clearly, alcohol is the true drink of the gods. Although I do agree throwing the tea into the harbor is a bad idea. The harbor is polluted enough as it is.
At this point in time, that particular use of Soulkiller and the Relic is intended to be Arasaka family only. Although I suppose that might change in the century or so it takes Hasumi to get old enough where dying is a possibility (to the best of Arasaka's knowledge, anyway).
While I agree that alcohol is also the drink of the gods. That only refers to actually good alcohol like a good Single Malt Scotch Whiskey (Talisker Skye is particularly divine)
I've been trying to understand where the chapter's title "Its treason then" fits; meme-able quote from Palpatine. After a second read through, there aren't any: outright betrayals onscreen, duels with swords, dark lords (maybe ladies), or Samuel L. Jackson appearances.
So, it may be in reference to Hansen and his troops, offscreen. Which then begs the question: what happens with Reed, So Mi, and Alex? Do two of them still go into deep cover in Dogtown? Does one betray the others? I guess the war hasnt technically ended, so we may find out later.

*embarrassed* I decided on the title prior to finishing the chapter, but I ended up kind of breaking the chapter I had in mind into two because it got way too long. So the next chapter will be "It's treason, then (part 2)" I suppose.

So the Treason part is by others or Self-Betrayal? I get the Special Forces not following orders, unless there was something wrong with Arasaka agent talking with Dr. Hasumi?
As in, why ask her? Arasaka has lots working for them, why bother to get her input?
Did another Corp. Insert a Agent and pump Dr. Hasumi for info? Did he show I.D. he was a Agent, just saying a Lie?

Hansen is my bet. Looks like someone is about to start Dogtown.
It happened toward the end of the Sidestory "Little Miss Illuminati Agent".
NUSA: Assault the Borg house

You mean Borgtown, Right?
I doubt he was from another Corp. The whole building that she lives in is Arasaka and I'm sure that everyone that tries to meet her is checked up on.
As to why they asked her, Taylor throughout the story has always overestimated her ability to hide her ability. Arasaka probably is more suspicious about her than she thinks. She thought that by having the geneticists on her team do most of the work on the biometals that she could keep suspicion low but simply choosing that project with the confidence that it could be done probably raised some eyebrows. I wouldn't be surprised if they monitored how long she spent in the SCIF choosing it.
Some chapters back her boss was even asking her how she got so good at genetics. She probably also gave away how good she is at it several times accidentally by giving her geneticists tips and hints.
