[LMB] Arms

[Jim Parish]

Thanks to all of those who've chimed in on this, in particular to Victoria 
L'Ecuyer for the step-by-step description. There were two things in 
particular that had been troubling me: first, that, once the belt was 
around Mehta's neck, Cordelia had only one hand available to trap both 
of Mehta's arms, and, second, that Cordelia's attack was from behind, 
and hence Mehta's instinctive grab for the throttling belt would be 
moving her arms *away* from Cordelia. Victoria's outline handles both 
of these objections.

I'm still a little troubled by a few lesser questions. Yes, there's at least 
some chance that Cordelia was trained in a maneuver like this at some 
point, but would it have been recent enough, and/or followed by enough 
practice, for her to have been able to execute it quickly and well? This 
is amplified by her relatively recent injuries - two cracked ribs and a 
compound fracture of one of her arms - plus the layover in a prison 
camp and the psychological stress that followed her repatriation. Still, 
these concerns are nothing that good old WSOD can't handle.
