UPDATE: After consultation with several people who would know, I decided it was safe to publish the details.
Well, I didn't run. But there's good news and bad news...
Good News: Base security works!
Bad News: I was the proof.
Email me if you want details. In the end, merely a misunderstanding due to an honest mistake on my part. I'll only add that I can't complain about being the center of attention of six to ten warriors of a particular stripe; I only wish the circumstances had been more relaxed... ;)
