heavily armed troops. Here are my refrences...

+++++UPLOAD: References.txt

My shopping list...

115 AK-47s with enough ammo for five clips a gun.
115 Ares Predators w/ Laser Sights and ammo for 3 clips a gun.
575 Defensive Frag Grenades

I'll also need to get you more equipment list later this week. Do you have
a pilot who can fly these items out to Vietnam?]<<<<<

>>>>>[You want what? For how many? Where? Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Bend over, this won't hurt much.

Do you know just how much I'd hafta charge you for that stuff to run
it into Indochina? Which part anyway? Or should I ask, who's in
control this week? Hell, by the time I get it to you it'll be over.

Christ, last I heard they've still got the world's supply of SAMs
there...... Waitaminnit. You wanted -47s? They've got the world's
supply of them over there too.

Saigon Rebel <chuckle>. One piece of advice for the time being: follow
the Ho Chi Minh Trail, follow the Ho Chi Minh Trail, follow, follow,
follow, follow the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Anyway, even if I _can_ get those weapons to you what kinda currency
am I gettin'? I just want you to remember that once you get out of
the CFS, all of my charity work is over and done with. Yer gonna get
full price, same as any other joker, IF I accept the contract.]<<<<<

Cambodia, actually. However, we might want to involve ourselves in Mr.
'Saigon Rebel's cause, if we can confirm his politics. Find out how
much he is willing to spend while we examine his background -- and keep
him online for as long as you can. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[115 -97's, jeeze. Anyway, I think I've found enough, but the
Preds might be a little tough. Whoever told you I got access to this
much equipment is crazy. I'm small time. You want a real arms
dealer for this kind of quantity. Anyway, even if I can corner that
many Preds and lasers, the whole schmeer is gonna cost around a
quarter mil, plus shipping, plus my fees. This could easily come to
a cool million. You can pay that, can't you?]<<<<<
