This week's chapters open with an assessment of the damage done by the earthquakes and the wind storms. Bland has her Talent expanded by the Speaker. General McJunkin attempts to assassinate Eachna, but is stopped by the Entity.
Following that, the fleets in orbit open fire on the shell with no damage to it. Communication with the fleets and the Army is non existent. There are problems involving moving the Marines and the local working for them and their families.
The representatives of the Unity government arrive. The meeting with them does not go well.
The story ends with preparations for the unit to leave Parthas. On boarding the ship, there is a surprise message for the Colonel and Tiger Team.
Enjoy these final chapters.

This week's chapters open with some embarrassment over sex the previous night. Despite this, the Team is ready to leave for the meeting with the Leaders of the original colonists the next morning. There are a number of surprises both before they depart and at the meeting location.
Following a demonstration of a defensive spell, everything changes with the biggest surprise of all. Those in orbit above the planet are extremely upset about not being able to observe what is happening there any longer.
Sometimes, the simplest things have a much greater effect on a mission than anyone expected.
It's time for nominations to the Clitorides Awards. If you have a favorite story or stories that were written in 2019, you can nominate it or them in one of the categories of the awards. If the story has already been nominated, you can add your vote for it.

Originally, I had a long introduction written to these chapters, but I decided not to use it.
This week's chapters are very fast moving. There is anxiety, surprise, anger, argument, frustration, conjecture, and vindication before the entire Team prepares to meet with the Leaders of the original colonists.
These chapters show just how fluid the situation can be on a Military mission, where changes are always to be expected.
Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

This week's chapters open with the patrols returning and the wounded being treated. There is a debriefing following that.
Later that day, Admiral Stanfield contacts Parthas Military Headquarters to demand an explanation of what had occurred. An hour later, the President of Parthas denies all responsibility for what had occurred and a State of War is declared between them by the Unity authorities.
That night outposts are set up and prisoners are taken.
These chapters show the work necessary after a shooting confrontation, and how the decision by their higher headquarters affects the unit and its mission.
This week, I received an email from a reader for clarification on some of the abbreviations that have appeared in this story and some of my other stories, especially those relating to the sections in the Headquarters. Here they are for anyone wondering what they are:
S-1: Personnel
S-2: Intelligence and classified material
S-3: Plans and operations
S-4: Supply and in their case rentals
If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me.
Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

This week's chapters open with the arrival of the promised Marines. Later there are surprises from the two Irish girls, Eachna and Eavan. This will lead to the successful conclusion of the mission. The following day patrols are run by the Marines to look for missing workers and to check out what the Parthas Army is doing.
It is easy to see how the focus of a mission can change with new developments. The story begins to move at a more rapid pace with these chapters and the changing mission. There are more surprises coming.
Enjoy these chapters. More next week.
Keep Well,
