Wallenger remarked. We could use something, Bill. Frankly, there hasn't been a hell of a lot of interesting things going on around here. And there won't be, Brannigan said. We're due for a long quiet time here in the OA. Eddie was interested in the story. What did you dig up for us? There's the weird kid over there by the name of Randy Tooley, Brannigan said. He's the one who is the mover and shaker for the site's activities. I remember him, Wallenger said, grinning. He doesn't like to wear a uniform, and he drives around in a dune buggy, right? Right, Brannigan said. Colonel Watkins, his CO, said he would be willing to be interviewed too. The kid is an eccentric thrown straight into in the middle of military operations and he's reputed to be the most efficient American serviceman in the Middle East. And he's funny as hell too. He has a lot of amusing anecdotes as well as some strange and colorful opinions he's not shy about expressing. Eddie was enthusiastic. That would make a great story, Dirk!
