>>>>>[A mutual aquantice said that you might be interested in hiring some
local help to assist you in cleaning-up from the bug "incident". I have
experience with search & destroy missions, and personal reasons for not
wanting bugs in Seattle. If you are interested, contact me at

>>>>>['Mutual acquaintance'? Commander Mitchell, right? Any idea where
he's gone? He's dropped off the face of the planet.

Anyway, yeah, I got a field commission. So now I'm a zero with nine vets
and twenty-two FNGs to kick into shape, and I could use all the help I
can get to kick them into shape. First tour's always the worst, if you
can help me keep my cherries alive for a while I'd be in your
debt.]<<<<<

Sure, I'll advise, DI, or do grunt work. 'Fraid you'll be getting a
former NonCom, so I'll have to work things out with your platoon
seargent. Just hope you rangers won't mind having an ex-Recon trooper
in your midsts.

Be down in an hour.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Outstanding. Do the guys good to have a vet, especially a Marine,
come show them what they don't know, they'll pay more attention to
having a jarhead showing them up... My PlSgt's a good soldier; new to
the job, but a good section commander before he got bumped up to
babysitting me. Shouldn't be any sort of problem at all.

You're still on contract rates if you come in, nobody's revoked that, so
you get paid. Accomodation's okay, too, considering this is Tarislar
it's a pretty decent place in which to live. Just wish that brewery was
on line :)

I'm just kind of worried about Commander Mitchell. He might be a cold-
hearted sonofabitch, but when he sent us into an an active bug hive he
led us in from the front. Counts for something. You hear anything, like
if he needs help or something, let me know.

Oh, yeah, I got that weird SIGA hippie to deformalise my access, too.
This reading okay?]<<<<<

>>>>>[What, a jarhead trying to show up some army boys? What ever gave
you that idea;) As for contract rates, that suits me just fine.

You guys got a brewery?! In the words of one of my favorite flat-vid
movies: "Beer!!"

If I hear anything from Mitchell, I'll pass it along. Oh and yes, your
message did read okay.]<<<<<
