That is something ??I???d love to see. If anything for the one event where we have to show some force.??

The more we have the better it will be for everyone, including the reputation for our garrison??

??

if if the weather is not supposed to be extremely cold I might have a Jawa along. If another member has a Jawa in their family it would be great??

The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.

We shall double our efforts.

I hope so Commander for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

All that said. I would love to be a part of this again. The girls will be coming down with me as is the normal. Ill see if I can "persuade" some others to join us lol
