L: 1Lt Lilith R W Lynch
T: LCdr R E Tarkington
T: Lilith, you've got a problem, Jason is -
L: Caught in the Yemen in a war we barely saw coming.
T: You know?
L: Yes. He was at Camp One. They were overrun and there's no contact
with him, and nobody saw him.
T: Lilith, I'm sorry...
L: Why?
T: About Jason.
L: Why?
T: Well, there's no contact, he's captured or dead-
L: No. He's alive and free.
T: Lilith, I know you have a lot of faith in the guy, hell I do too, but
when it's this bad you have to accept-
L: Toad, listen carefully. Jason signed up at fourteen for one of the
"expendables" units in the first Desert War. He's been fighting ever
since. It takes more than a surprise attack to kill him. If there was a
way out, he found it. Especially because the Yemeni Jihad were
concentrating on the APCs and the mercenaries, not one man sneaking out
in the opposite direction.
T: So, he's out there in the desert, hunted, alone...
L: Didn't you hear what I said? Jason _knows_ the desert. He knows its
name. He _loves_ the desert. The Yemen's a good place, there's water if
you know where to look, game, vegetation. A man who calls the desert
friend, could live a long time there. And you made a mistake,
Tarkington.
T: I did? I mean, sure, but what?
L: He's not _being_ hunted. _He's_ hunting Akbar's troops. When he gets
to a relay he'll be in touch. He's alive, Toad. Trust me.
