New chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting.
This week's chapters open with First Mobile finally obtaining an adequate facility for their unit and the Marines they will be receiving. The Navy task-force had already arrived, and the Admiral wants to know when they will be ready to receive Marines.
To ensure they are ready to operate, Cleve and Joel go into New Bangkok to obtain maps, intelligence on the guerrillas, and weather data. The Contracting Officer accompanies them and accomplishes a lot that day.
The first Marine shuttle arrives the next morning and it and the compound are attacked by two separate forces. The attackers are dealt with, but the contract employees are missing. Cleve leads a patrol out to retrieve the missing employees.
On locating the employees, there is a problem as some of them think the Tigers are Demons. They all return to the compound together.
There are a number of dead attackers and some prisoners. They learn that live prisoners are a bit unusual, but they need to learn how the dead are to be cared for. There is another problem when a bomb is found on one of the trucks.
These chapters reveal just some of the problems that the Unit and the Marines will have to deal with during this mission.
Enjoy these chapters, more next week as the writing of the story is finished.
Keep Well,
