Well … for the right price of course. And rank and honours. Failing to meet these requirements will see me lend my strength to the enemy you are trying to decimate.

Baloo intently gazes at a glowing screen in a darkened room. Suddenly, a red light flashes on the display and an alarm siren sounds.

> “Incoming Booblets from grid 49-Alpha! Commencing counterbattery fire! Launching Anti-Boob missiles!”

Outside the control center, a multitude of tiny missiles shaped like hands holding sharp pins leap into the air on columns of fire and smoke. Large cannons fire cannisters of saber-toothed attack hamsters (each wearing a tiny helmet and parachute and shaved for streamlining) at the location from which the attack originated.

As the boob-busters begin destroying the incoming barrage, Baloo reaches under the console to the hidden stereo and cranks up Twisted Sister’s version of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” REAL LOUD!

I will run the POW camp!!! I have a secret island from which there is no escape. Bring the prisoners to me (especially Britney Spears)! I will torture her accordingly and probe them for inteligence information!! As for the rest of them, they will never sing again after I slowly rip out their tongues and perform various inhuman experiments on their starved and beaten bodies.

errr… that should be “probe **her** for inteligence information”. You never know where the tricky bitch might try to hide microfilm. The rest will be thoroughly tortured in an inhuman **e** way. (damn poor typer)  
Oldscratch can use his propaganda techniques to make my hell camp of death look like a wonderful country club and we will gain sympathy from people like Bluephony and the other hippies! ! ! ! !

Well because I could care less about the ‘teenie boppers’ and their music, I’m not rushing to join the war.

Now the mercenaries on the other hand offer a solid wage and usually have the best camp wenches!!!

Hey pLt: need another recruit? Only if the pay’s good of course. I’m a former secret agent with ALL the training. You can call me 000.

And I expect a fringe benefits package too.

I like this one. **Alessan** is in with me. Can’t say i’ve beaten that Alessan, but i sure as hell have matched it. Never did get to try the Gallil or Uzi, but the rest, piece of cake. Here’s some fun now, we need to get us some Hummers, ever ride rear side with a saw on a hummer? Spray your enemies down! Brake fast, hold off the degenerates and support your 50 cal up top while he’s locked and loading!

**[Alessan finishes cleaning his MAG. At 23 lbs, it’s heavier than the SAW, but he feels more comfortable with it; besides, the heavier ammo may be needed to penetrate Brittany’s armored bosums. He finishes stuffing the standard 500 rounds into his web gear, and thinks, _Hmm. There might be Spice Girls over there._ He throws in another chain.]**

We’re on, Soulsling. But how about this: We go by foot, by night. We stay in the valleys, walking halfway up the ridge-line, coming from behind. It won’t be more then 15 kilometers or so - we can handle it. We assault the enemy camp at first light, when they’re least alert. We take out their radar, their heavy weapons, their ammo and hairgel stores. Then we pull out, fortify some nice little hilltop, and wait for the main assault. We’ll show those corrosive crooners what “harmony” _really_ means.

Heh Heh Heh.

Hey! Look at all these teeny boppers! I didn’t know the war effort was going this well. Your POW camp is working out nicely.
