Curiouser and curiouser...

You're starting to get into some deep shit Kemosabe. I'm getting interested to see where it goes. And yes, I know you don't know either. LOL

Oh trust me... I've had to struggle for air a few times already...

V.

Hmmm interesting, very interesting. It makes the first part more understandable but leaves much to be learned.

and I am learning every day...

V.

As we all should

A raccoon giving directions and a squirrel thief.
I love it.

Bunners

*chuckles... so do I...

V.

The Internet is a scary place? Who knew? (Panzer's a nice name for a Tank AI, btw.)

And what does it mean that they spoke of one mind? Should I load my Chekhov's Gun?

*laughs... no need to arm yourself quite yet... when Maggie and the Cougar spoke, it was almost a mental communication. Remember that the Cougar did not need a headset to see her...

V.

Sounds like the Desert Rose needs to remember those words of wisdom from Confucious.

"All's fair in love and war games."

Love where you're taking this, Ms. V.

*chuckles... more surprises to come... way more...

This one was a definite highlight, the conflict between Brickhouse and the Desert Rose during the Post Op meeting was very well handled, the interaction between the Rocco and the raccoon was glorious - along with the mental image of a squirrel managing to nick Jim's magazine.

The look into Maggie's head is as intriguing as always and I got a bit of a chuckle at the AIs thoughts on the internet.

I caught a typo on page 4 as well, when you mentioned the drums of fuel:
"The empty had been put back in place when the animals pitched a fit about leaving it behind.

thanks so very much Hania... this story has been quite an adventure for me.
