That's cool. No need to make it comfortable to them. ;)
As a person who loves low ranked thugs and loves to see them as basically nice persons with families and all, I appreciate that you want to spare their lives. But don't underestimate nine sword wielding foes. Unless you have something like sleeping gas, you will have to take them down with sword or gun. Kicks and punches won't do the trick. You also have to make sure that they stay down. Carrying them to the van is a lot of work and takes a lot of time, so you have to do it after finishing the other six. So, considering that they voluntarily joined the evil Ninja group, I'm afraid that sparing their lives has a low priority.
But aren't they the most interesting for the tests? And if the plan to kill them anyway, they can make a lot of "interesting" tests. (Of course you can bring them in, dead or alive, only if you stay alive yourself.)
It's a decision you don't have to make right now, but I wonder what your company's plans are for Michelle, Jessica, Jennifer, Tanya and those of the nine that survive. They can hardly hand them over to the authorities, but can they just let them go?
By the way, you have locked the van after Michelle this time, but have you made sure that the girls inside are still asleep when you open the door to load more Ninjas in?
