Welcome to Gaia! ::

Personal Log, DEMACIA, Acting Commander Ootand.

Man, that's never going to get weird to see.





I can understand why we had to send over our command structure. You can't send a bunch of unproven rookies out into fire without leadership, they just wind up blowing each other up with rockets.



But hey, it's turned out to be a good career move. I'm in charge.



And for the first time in awhile, we've got a lot of new blood coming in. Should be fun.



There weren't many goodbyes, but I managed to get some alone time with Dulnair. Not...the kind of alone time I think people assume I'm getting, but we talked. About J. And Cabron. I think a new start will be good for her, away from here.




As for me, I'm vexed.

We're able to produce the biggest breakthrough of the war to date, but-




A decent sized shipment will take awhile. To say the least. We need more manpower. So I had to improvise.



Emergency asset liquidation sticks in my craw, but we need bodies in that damn production facility.



And i guess the labs are working on something, not sure.

More importantly, the ******** are developing a sense of humor.



Just when we make a breakthrough, we hit a wall, and THEN they show up, just to rub it in.



Target broke hard west from somewhere in rural Ohio, we lost him for awhile.



I knew they'd turn up again, though. I scrambled to put a contact team together.



The tricky son of a b***h tried to double back on us.





But he got too cute, and tried to shake pursuit near the Nebraska/South Dakota border.





It didn't end well. We're en route now. If I don't make it, I hope LPS knows that...well, she does.

I guess I hope Haru knows I'll try to take as many of the bastards with me as I can. I'm pretty good at collateral damage at this point.

End log

DirOps: Interesting.
