The Duty (Play To Live: Book # 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Our purchase pace admittedly didn't keep up with the panic demand that had virtually depleted all local vendor stocks. To make up for this slip in the schedule, we've sent buying agents to neighboring clusters. We've also sent a large mercenary squad to the Rock Forest location for a week with the task of farming particular ingredients pertinent to crafting dome artifacts. We've appraised the results of the two operations—code names Crystal and Cat House—as negative. Both full partners Eli Logus and Lee Ortega have been downgraded to junior partners. Our direct financial losses aren't bad—about four million dollars in total. Our collateral losses, however, are more than ten times that. The information countermeasures, the elimination of existing financial and business setups, the change of avatars and taking the heat off over two hundred individuals and their subsequent physical protection and security measures in the real world—all this has cost us well over fifty million dollars.
