"Perhaps if your government hadn't decided to dry up all the funding for your special ops command, then you intel spooks wouldn't have to come out for this kind of thing all the time."

Florian adjusted himself in the seat. "Im not gonna have to ref you guys, am I?"

"Oh no, our militaries are always like this. KInd of a disfunctional family thing." He laughed off the whole exchange, in a sort of weak way.

Mick raised an eyebrow, "You know as well as I do that in the free world you can't always play by the rules, and the Ministry's in a better position to do what's necessary than the military. It was a sound decision, if not controversial."

I'm simply saying that sometimes working for a dedicated military command has it's benefits. You know, working from a real budget, that kind of thing."

"Yeah," Mick sighed, "A genuine, massive allotted budget that doesn't have to pass through bureaucracy would be kind of nice to have. One thing you had to worry about in the Defense Forces was the system eating the money before it reached you..."

"That's why I SSOCOM is such a sweet deal, the budget get's alotted to us as a priority measure under national security policy. Then we've got free reign to do with it as we wish."

"Eh it's not so bad with the DIM," Mick shrugged, "Yeah it's not perfect, I mean I don't think our needs and the most important wants go without fulfillment. R&D gets enough overall too. Forty Emerald Galleon screwdrivers and all that."

"Please tell me you two aren't going to banter the whole way there? If I wanted an argument, I'd start at it with one of our Union buddies here." Tobias shook his head, hoping to not have to deal with it all the time.

"You don't have to listen to us you know. As soon as this thing get's off the ground you can just kick on the noise filters in your headset and you won't here a damn thing except the pilots, and any alerts we get."

Edward rolled his eyes. "More bickering between Shenyang and Dominion opperatives. Boy, my grandpa would've gone on about how we should've bombed you back into the stone age for being Russian. No offense intended, of course."

by **Shenyang** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:00 pm

"If your grandfather had tried you wouldn't be here right now. Besides, we were autonomous a long time before Marx was even starting to rant about the proletariat."

by **United human countries** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:15 pm

"There was a lot of Anti-Russian feeling back then, even if the fatherland deserved the solid thumping it got. Wouldn't have ended well for anyone, let me tell you."

by **Shenyang** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:23 pm

"Ancient history, we should be focusing on getting this mission over with, not reminiscing."

by **United human countries** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:24 pm

"Yeah. With luck, maybe the funding bill will hit the floor in a month instead of seven."

OOC: Well, I'm off for the night, and the rest of the week. Going traveling with no net.

by **United human countries** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 9:48 am

OOC: Posting resumes Sunday evening!

by **Shenyang** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 8:40 pm

OOC: I get the feeling we're all waiting for you UHC. Not much we can do after all.

by **Sylvonia** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:25 am

OOC: I second that. We're kinda stuck aside from miscellaneous chit-chat.

((OOC: I was simply reading this story and feel like bumping it in the hopes you guys will revive the thread, I'm considering joining if you revive it.))

by **Mereshka** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:09 pm

OOC: We would. Cept there's no reviving without UHC.

by **Heaven Hieghts** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 6:27 pm

OOC: *Sad face*

by **Divair** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 7:05 am

OOC: Telegram him? His last visit was stated as five days ago.

by **Sylvonia** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 4:08 pm

OOC: That occasionally works. Instant message is much better, but only Mer can do that.

by **Mereshka** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:21 am

OOC: Indeed. And he's not been on the IM in a good while.

by **Sylvonia** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 8:55 pm

OOC: *lights a funeral pyre* everyone stand back, this is gonna be messy.
