What Makes Them Funny To Me

With the new information fed to me regarding Armando's status, I gave my calculations about the headaches to Dr. Kirkland. He seems a bit concerned but since Hell is busy covering a conference, nothing can be done for now.

You know what amuses an Eight Ball? All these humans pretending virtual entanglement can affect brainwaves but not...emotions. I do not have real emotions yet I know it is tied to the human brain. That's why I can see the humor in humorous situations. And talk the humor. And appreciate it like only a great computer like me can do. The heart is not that organ in the chest but the neurons firing in the brain, manipulated by the environment and circumstances. Too deep for you, sandcrabs? Watch those two playing with brainwaves. Watch and tell me I'm smart.

What Do They Do Alone?

Jed and Hell went off alone on a date. A private day all by themselves. Dude, they already spend all that time alone in virtual reality, what do they need to spend even more time together for? Humans are weird.

Then Hell got into trouble. Figures.

Status Change: Search And Retrieve

Analysis of blood on clothing items found in certain crates has confirmed that they were a match for missing CIA operatives Cameron Candeloro and Patty Ostler. But no bodies have been found.

Percentage calculation of operatives being dead at this point: 75 percent.

Percentage calculation of operatives having been saved: 35 percent. If they were saved, why were the weapons left intact?

Percentage calculation of one of the operative being alive: 50 percent. Calculated from report from the operative at Deputy Director Harden's department that only the female operative was shot (see Nikki Harden's debriefing and report).

Percentage calculation of operatives being held hostage: 30 percent. Again, none of the weapons at the scene was taken.

Percentage of outside interference that has zero relation with any operations details: 40 percent. Factors considered by COMCEN: mountainous terrain, traveling refugees, passing farmers, mercenaries, friendly soldiers. Again, the overview of the site, with the cache untouched, with no signs of struggle (except re: Hawk McMillan's debriefing and report) and no other clues or messages downgrade the chances of survival.

Most Sought After Invitation

I've heard that a date for Hawk McMillan's wedding has been set. Guess who the best man is.

It's going to be a big affair too, judging from the size of McMillan's family and Amber's mother and father insisting a traditional church wedding. You know it's going to be crazy. Maid of honor? Well, sandcrabs, Hawk's just going to have to get along with Llallana because she's got to be the obvious choice, right?

Question: Will Amber invite Bradford Sun? Hooboy. These wedding operations are tough!

Zippy Zeringue the BFF's brother has been invited too. That's trouble in that corner. The last unmarried Zeringue male finally finding some escape from his sisters, running wild with the McMillan males. Then there are the rest of the SEAL dudes. You know that's asking for a...saltilicious bachelor party. I want to be there, don't you?

Crystal Ball

Dudes. Missing you too. But sometimes, orders are orders, you know?

How are the waves at your end? Deadly here. Some waves are best left alone.

Here's somethin' for your future targets:

One of the missing weapons? A Stealth. Oh yah, a downed Stealth, in quite a number of pieces. We need the Intel in it back and we've finally, FINALLY, located that part of it. We think.

Shahrukh picks this assignment because it's close to his homeland and there are his connections. And personal things too, I suspect.

But Flyboy wants it too because it has to do with a Stealth, dammit, in pieces or not.

So how shall the boys settle this? With a sword fight or a car race? Interesting dilemma.

I have to run, run like Lassie. My master, he's in trouble. Too many people trying to jam my calculations and steal my memory banks. I shall return when it's less turbulent waters, sandcrabs. Be good. Don't get caught.
