"I have plans for Brad, if he does well."
"What is the task?"
Narval locked eyes with Drummer.
"Tell Brad to prepare plans and evaluate our military capabilities to penetrate the protective shield around the Logistics Depot, to capture it and use it as hostage."
"Good God! Take the depot as hostage? For what purpose?"
"The reason you will give Brad is that INOR will hold it hostage for a greater share in decisions on the disposition of Slingshot-generated assets."
"That isn't the real reason, is it?"
"No. The objective is diversionary."
"And the real objective?"
"You will be told when it is time."
