[QUOTE="DallasPA, post: 1026716, member: 11602"] Father Steele waits for the group to disperse and then approaches Professor Moore. Father Steele approaches the professor and states the following: "Professor Moore. I have a request that might seem strange, but I must ask it anyway. I just hope you will be reasonable enough to grant me this request. The Holy Roman Catholic Church has donated a sizeable sum to assist your expedition, and selected me to accompany you for reasons that I cannot explain at this time. I will state that the Church has an extreme interest in some of the events which befall the last expedition and that is why I am here. In light of the sound and worthy preparations you are making I wish to make an additional request." Father Steele pauses, and then turns away as he examines some of the articles adorning the mess hall, and continues: "I request permission to bring 3 or 4 guard dogs along with us on the expedition. I will personally purchase and pay for the training of these animals myself. There is adequate time for them to be trained and to be familiarized with the crew and party. These dogs will be attack dogs, specifically trained to guard our party, supplies, and the other sleigh dogs. I will take full responsibility for there actions and upkeep. But the church feels that this is a necessary inconvience. [/QUOTE]
