There is now a taco at 10, 10. It is sized for naked mole dogs. The taco is cowering.

Harbingerjm confirmed for tactical genius, as only a tactical genius would make that move.

Fortunately, the relatively obscure and questionably legal Benefits to Acknowledging Your Opponents' Tactical Skills states that in the presence of a taco, a naked mole dog may be swapped for a herring three tiles up.

Ah, but if we refer to Section 38 of the Corporations and Estates: Macroeconomics Vol. 6 (1843), we can clearly see that the placement of a vendor instantly results in placing three Ravenous Lawyers around the vendor.

Oh no, you see, Section 2 of Chapter 5 of Page 3006 of Activism and Acolytes: Volume 2 also shows that, when Ravenous Lawyers attack a vendor, 3 Incompetent Activists will appear and jump on them!

Oh dear, this looks serious. Under section 7 of the Gavels and Grapeshot: Legal Procedure Handbook, I appoint the herring as my legal representative.

As proscribed in Legal Disputes Outside the Courtroom, a crack to Hell appears, and a Balor emerges. It eats the taco, doing 8d6 damage and consuming it.

Fourth edition of Tacticius modern warfare says that when a crack of hell opens up that XCOM Soldiers will continuously spawn from the top right corner. They will then attempt to close up the hole by falling in until it's full of bodies. Killing demons all the way.

Actually, looking through the HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL Guide to Elitist Politics Tacticus Edition -1, whenever any unit associated with Liberalism enters the field, you can grow an 8-leaf clover in target square. As the Incompetent Activists fall under said heading, I grow an 8-leaf clover in squares (1, 1), (1,2) and (1,3). I then, utilizing the rules inscribed in the blood of a thousand fig trees in the fell volume of Botanical Ritualism[Also Tacticus Edition -1], spend 4 acres of souls to merge the 8-leaf clovers into a AUSPICIOUS ROTTING PLANT GOLEM in square (1,2).

Ach, I truly hate to inform my fellow players, but as dictated in Apocalypse and Plagues Section 2, Page 24, the presence of two large summoned entities on the gameboard causes a singularity event, clearing everything between them...although a Temple of Semantics is built, which I have placed at (1,5)

Additionally, as per the Libellum de Pecunia, in the aftermath of any apocalyptic event, all stores undergo post-devastation economic regrowth. Hence, the vendor is upgraded to a shop, expanding to the left and absorbing a Ravenous Lawyer into its Employee Docket.

Non-existent entities referenced on the Map Key are removed from it as set forward in Clearing Map Keys, Volume Seven and a Half

Under Map Changes and You: An Apocalyptic Survival Guide, whenever two or more rows are inadvertently reduced by at least 1 tile, the tiles and entities thereon in the squares from (1,13) to (3,15) and from (13, 1) to (15,13) are transplanted to rectangles from (16,13) to (18,15) and from (13,16) to (15,18) respectively

B-but RedWarrior! Rule 32 of Corner Store Compendium: Expansion C says, that if Corner Store for any reason does not occupy the corner of the map, it must be moved to the closest corner avaible, in this case the closest corners are the ones on (15,18) and (18,15). Rule 32 Addendum 3.5 allows me to choose which corner the shop must be moved to, and I am choosing the (15,18) one

Spoiler: Raw map data (click to show/hide)

EDIT: I think I dun goof'd a bit with the map. It could be good to check for any mistakes in representing the map, however the 7th edition of Mistakes Retconning: Tacticus 101 says that if a mistake is made and everyone is okay with it, we should just go with it.

Rule 8009 book 3 of the lost soul's club. If an xcom soldier sees civilians fight each other then they'll call a carrier to land right on them. In this case a 5 by 5 carrier will drop on the activists and lawyers. Then take off again leaving smushed bodies.
