Donovan, another was from some talking head in Washington.  Frankly, the less I know about this mission and your team Durant, the better I feel.  I’ve heard a lot of stories about you.  Which, to me at least, means that a couple of the are true.  Regardless, you have the rep for getting the job done.  I expect that if there’s a way to solve this, you’re the man for the job.”Major Davis chimed back in, “One final point . . . if something should happen, either at Cheyenne Mountain or as a result of the Mountain and the risk intensifies, authorization has already been given to destroy the base and surrounding lands before the risk grows past that area or we lose containment.”OOC: all </blockquote>
