Well since the government has sanctioned the dig, the side with the equipment already knows where we are going to be. The local P.M. is hoping there will be a site for politacl reasons (I suppose he wants a link between his cabinet and the great leaders of messapotamia's ancient past.)

if you are going pleas PM me for further details.

You worry to much Ron Caliburn, I am touched, but I have contingencies in place.

As I already said, if things get bad we only need to hold for a couple hours. I dont know much about building such, but I think we should be able to make some earthworks pretty fast with a bulldozer backhoe combo - it may be the smallest one they have, but it should do if needed, that and I will have dominance on the intelligenc department, I am going to set a good net up on arival.

Would you like me to send along some toys and manuals? Anyone that attending my seminar should, with the manuals, be able to assemble some explodey defenses, with little risk to themselves if they keep it simple.

That my friend is when they wind up searching a patch of sand over 200 miles away with a much better reputation for having ancien ruins. Just because I registered the dig with the athourities does not mean that they have an accurate location.

I will be dropping by with the item you asked for Ghost, here a little later in the Day.

You seem to belive Ron Caliburn, that I would leave my well being to stealth alone. I am not quite as stupid as you seem to think, precautions have been taken against possible hostile action, but more have been taken to prevent said action from being needed.

Ran a bit late getting on site, an agrument of the necessity to land to deliver personell and eqipment to the site (he decided we should jump, got more co-operative when I showed him .45 reasons to touch down to let us unload, don't think that one is going to take any work from me anymore.

Anyhow the seismic tomography charges are indicating a site that may be worth a dig.

If anyone ends up in that predicament I will personally lead the rescue attempt.

I am not too worried about Katja anyway.

Do not worry Ron Caliburn, A great deal of my specialized equipment can be very badly misused if needed. I have actualy taken precautions in the eventuality of a capture, as well, I doubt we would be in trouble for long.

Kei, I don't know what happened when you detonated those charges, but it felt like I was struck by a bolt of lightning. My hair was standing on end and Karlash & Belladrox both started shouting warnings in my head. I need some aspirin.

Anyway, Belladrox said he sensed "The workings of an old rival". He wasn't really forthcoming about who this rival was. He also mentioned that you nearly awoke "lesser fragments". That one completely blew by me. He hasn't mentioned anything else, and i'm inclined to believe him, as this information goes towards saving his own skin.

Something's here and that means that this site is not a total bust.

As a side note for all, please DO NOT TOUCH the cargo I brought along. The two items in question are heavily warded and I don't want to see anyone get zapped by one of my death wards.

I doubt it, the baddies take folks, film a video or two, decapitate them on camera and stash the body. Then the release the videos over a few weeks to make it look like they are benevolant captors who relucatnly had to execute the hostage because their demands were not met.

By the time we get a rescue op organized they will be drifting down the Tigris.

Such cheerfull thoughts you have Mr. Caliburn.
Kei, Ghost is not the only one that felt something when you used those charges. Athena, and I felt something, and it felt, Wrong is the only word that comes to mind, and even that doesn't begin to cover it.

Ron if it is needed a rescue mission would move faster than you may think.

If I have anything to say about it, HELL YES!
