Without any other prea two hits: one, Oasis, is in Nevada It’ll serve as a kind of test run for our big hit on Thur those poor kids out, think of Oasis as an opportunity to work out the kinks in our strategy"

I crossed ripped in front ofindebriefed on an upcoue kids, Vida included, appeared to feel the sa into the e back, unsure

"One or two volunteers will enter Oasis ahead of the actual hit" He turned to face the cluster of Greens sitting together "We’re going to need to install a slasses, and it can relay back to us here We need to get a sense of the colasses?" Senator Cruz asked "Won’t those be taken when they’re brought into the camp, too?"

"No, they’re considered essential ites that won’t be taken"

If Liainal plans at East River, he didn’t show it He sat with his legs sprawled out in front of hi back on his hands He watched his brother ariness

"The catch is, the kids who volunteer can’t have been previously in a cainal cah, and Oasis is a relatively new camp There is absolutely no pressure to participate Like I said, this is purely volunteer"

Zu glanced between Liam and Chubs, but it was Vida who smoothed a tuft of her hair down in silent reassurance

"That aspect of the plan won’t be necessary for Thurmond, as we have three people who have been inside of the camp and are intimately familiar with its layout The other difference between this and the big hit is e’re doing with the kids we free From what intel we have"--otherwise known as what intel Clancy let us have--"Oasis has approximately fifty kids, all of who they are to fight, we can ask them to join us in the Thurmond hit, or we can slowly return them back to their parents, a few kids at a time"

"Are we still going to go out and try to round up the tribes of kids?" Chubs asked, jerking his thu out cars once we have supplies We need asto pull this off ourselves"

He h the other parts of the plan quickly; they were sketchy at best until we had actual ies from inside of the camp’s walls It would be a small team, no more than ten of us, arht if we could With only fifty kids, there would be maybe twelve PSFs there at most, and one or two ca in the weekly supplies; I would be out in front, of course, because I’d have the job of influencing one of the camp controllers He or she would continue to report that everything in the ca the camp’s own transportation, whether it be SUVs, trucks, or a bus

The kids were silent, processing this, until Liam finally said, "Fifty kids is a hell of a lot different than three thousand kids"

"Better to run this through on a scaled

"Okay, thata s to accomplish?"
