Time to make the doughnuts!
Sorry I haven't had much to say, but things have happened pretty quickly and HRH Queen Serenity asked us to hold off on an immediate response. Wise woman, her. Besides, I needed the time to get acclimated for a 48-hour sleep-cycle. I'm all set for sleepless nights now.
We also spent some time working on installing the Ojo de Dios package into Midnight. Simply put, there ain't shit they'll be able to hide from us because the Midnight can now read their lips. Literally. Mayonaka is thrilled. Just say the word and we'll be able to dig up all kinds of dirt on these asshats.
Here's some good news: I've heard worries that shit's gonna hit the fan? Well, not as bad as some might think. I mean, don't get me wrong. A lot of forward deployed US Sailors are not gonna get paid here and that';s honestly not cool... but the good news is that THEY ARE STILL HERE!
All the US Bases in Japan are untouched, and let me tell you that is no small amount of firepower. Last I heard, Commander, Naval Forces, Japan has ordered a show of force by having just about anything that can get underway do a quick little tour along the backside of Japan. You know, remind everyone who was still here. May I suggest we get those boys some gas for the tincans and planes? Last I checked, the only nuclear platform there was the good old G-Dub.
Also, Pearl Harbor and Guam are still intact and scratching their heads, but they seem ready to do their jobs. Oh, and who knows how many subs were on Patrol when this went down? We'll know soon enough once they start surfacing to figure out why their ULF sets aren't working. Thank Skuld that we still have a Sub base in Guam. Recent photo-intel indicates that the Frank Gable is fixing to get underway. Hopefully to get back to doing her old job in the Atlantic.
So, North Korea will probably stay quiet for now while the US Navy's 7th Fleet is holding the fort, though I can't guarantee anything for the Middle East. Ever since the US pulled out of Iraq they simply haven't had the same kind of presence as they did before.
But hey, you know how I feel about these things. If anyone starts to get too pushy we can just offer to drop rocks on their heads. I think the situation has gotten bad enough to warrant it. The warning, that is, not the act. Shit's really gotta go to hell in a handbasket before we do something that has that much collateral damage. (And as we speak, Gina and I are working on a surgical strike version. Let's just say it involves large tungsten-steel poles.)
Anyhow, I got a few ideas that will be especially useful if this drags on. Hell, even if it doesn't I'm sure that they're working on a way to get our USA back... and then we're gonna have their world to contend with as well. (Because leaving a world that produced this fuck-fest-of-a-country alone is not cool.)
