>>>>>[Irish, we always had the ordnance. The problem was getting it
there. Luckily, Lilith remembered something a friend mentioned, and we
chartered two PARWIG transports. A thousand tons of cargo each, at 300
knots, with the endurance to run from Olympia to Manila, refuel, run
through to Dodge, tank again, and drop our guys off pierside at the
Hawker quay.
New enough that most people don't consider them. But it's the difference
between moving a mech battalion in days, and in weeks.
We're bugging out and we're doing just fine. We've already been
contacted about being pointmen for the retaliation: the Powers that Be
are _not_ happy about Akbar and want him crushed.
As for the Yemeni army... they're still sitting in their barracks
chewing khat. Hawker's extraterritorial in Yemen, they don't make much
odds to the governmnent either way, and the Yemenis are more worried
about Akbar pushing south and seizing Sana'a than about liberating some
Yanqui mines.
Besides, the Yemeni Army are barely a match for Akbar: that tell you how
bad they are?
When I get back I'll talk properly. We could use your help, if you want
to do some merc work: Akbar's got eighteen of our people and sixty
Hawker personnel. We want them back. Soon. That's nothing to do with
possible Corporate Court retaliation, this is us protecting our people.
We do _not_ abandon our POWs and WIAs.]<<<<<
