Attention, Region Six. A draft is scheduled to commence on August 25th for five days following. Your location will be the West Central Ocean, en route to Kano Harbour via three ships. Choose a suitable captain for each, and the pilots will be programmed to follow your orders. Don't waste my time with incompetence, either. Put in charge only those who deserve it.

These are the residents who have been selected to participate.

[As usual, the list posted HERE is offered in text form, sans the mun names.]

Your mission is to protect the cargo ship above all else. Within three days you will reach your destination. Opposition numbers, rank, and skill are impossible to predict, however, their equipment often prevents them from attacking at night. Remain on guard, but take advantage of the respite you may receive by night. Upon reaching the harbour, the cargo will be unloaded. You are to continue protecting it until it is safely out of range of their attacks. I would advise against swimming unless you want to die.

For those of you who were involved in the last draft, I have only one thing to say: your performance was acceptable.

Over and out.

[Once again, the commandant will not reply to anything but draft-related questions or particularly inspiring comments, so if you're looking for a response, be sure to give her something worth answering!]

You patronize me, but no matter. My actions will speak for themselves.

Patronize you? No way.

Just trying to figure out if you're ready to slice a Third Partier's wings right off his back. It's a little different from all the usual methods. Takes longer, for one.

I am no stranger to the horrors of war.

I'm not talking horrors. I'm talking practicality. It's advice, James. Don't underestimate the time it takes to hack one of those things off.

[A sigh.]

My apologies, but at times it can be difficult to pluck the needle of meaning from the hay of your delivery. I mean no disrespect.

Your advice is most welcome.

You'll get used to it. Everyone does. Eventually.

[ the meaning-plucking or the draft-battling? who knows. ]

With your aid.

[The hay or the battles? Who knows.]
