AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

[Silver Moon]

OOC: I'm just giving you a hard time. I'm going to Worcester tomorrow as well. I more wanted you to know I would be gone for a week from Sunday to Sunday.

OOC: OOC: I would have liked to have joined you but Thursday is my long day at school and then the weekend is non-stop. Don't worry about missing a week of posting, Abby is still a half-day ahead of the others.

OOC: Convenient to be that far ahead when I'll be gone for a while. Gives me a chance to decide how to advance Abby as well.

Not sure if you missed this in the other post:

"Really, a whole entree will be far too much, and I couldn't possibly finish it before my escort returns. What I would really like is a glass of red wine, and perhaps a small appetizer? Something with a bit of beef?"

"A typical fleet would have five battleships and ten smaller support ships. As for marines, a fleet would carry two battalions of six companies each, so approximately 2,400 men. Support personnel would be of equal number to that."

George rocks back in his chair, staring at the general for a moment. Those in the room can almost see the wheels in his head turning. George allows the chair to fall forward, the sound startling the room slightly in the silence.

"Two battalions of regulars, support personnel include quartermasters and such, non coms, correct? Restricted to Alexandria, supplies to be purchased from Egyptian vendors at full price. No ship in berth longer than a month barring repairs. This is a weigh station not a base. With those stipulations, that is an agreeable level of personnel." replies George.

General Drury-Lowe interjects, "Can I request a ten minute recess while we discuss it?"

OOC: We never had Neferka speak to this group this morning. Are we just going to wait until her afternoon session following her Ruby shopping spree and assume George handled the full morning with both parties?"

" Of course" replies George graciously.

OOC: Yes, let's roll with that.

"You can continue with Ela", she replies.

"Thank you. I will see you back at the hotel. Don't spoil my fiancé too much!" Ruby kisses the Queen's cheek and watches her leave.

"Ela, do you mind accompanying me to one more shop? I'd like to buy some home furnishings."

 

[Silver Moon]

" Of course" replies George graciously.

The British return to their suite.

""Ela, do you mind accompanying me to one more shop? I'd like to buy some home furnishings."

She replies, "Certainly, although you might find it expensive to ship to America.

She replies, "Certainly, although you might find it expensive to ship to America.

"Hmmm... That's true. Though I'm certain Mr Parker could arrange to have it shipped on his boats." She shrugged. " George wouldn't mind spending the money anyway.

The British return to their suite.

"Uh, Ok." says George as the British leave in silence. George though turns to Hassan. "Two battalions seen reasonable right Hassan? I figured if they get out of hand that is not so many you can't get a handle on it. I think this is the best of both worlds. The key of course is the 10 year lease on this."
