It was not soothing to Bob. Bob imagined The same kind of voice cheerily announcing The approach of mile-high waves on Earth. Tanks can be bad. Very bad. If used right. Unfortunately, These are not massive Cold War behemoths, but light robots with explosive shells &#038; Catapults. Nimble, in City and Forest, They are bad. &#8220;We will need to attack The tanks with Drones.&#8221; throwing Parrots at a Dragon combat. Bob knew the answer, but had to ask anyway. &#8220;Mother, you can&#8217;t make tanks for us, right?&#8221; Mother said, &#8220;No. I am under concordat oath to only humanely use lethal force on individuals with cause. I cannot make weapons you can use indiscriminately. Also, ArchAngel might notice.&#8221; &#8220;Mother, if we can&#8217;t have tanks, Why does Zeke get to have tanks?&#8221; Mother said, &#8220;Because ArchAngel does not have those restraints and Gilead is next door to Detroit&#8221;. Bob knew that. War is supposed to be dangerous. Tanks just made their war deadly. I wish we could use our Knives for this. The Ginzu Knives were a small group of experienced fighters Kyoto will use for Special Ops. But They will spend most of Their time in The terribly secret, real black ops&#8221; portion of The dual-pronged campaign being led by Nicholas Walk-like-The-Wind. Bob Goodman, retired Navy SEAL and the fighting General, got to run The Dog showM. No knives for Bob &#8220;A civilian Force&#8221;, Bob reminded himself. Neighbors &#038; friends who will be fighting for Their lives to stave off a Fanatic Religious Army&#8217;s Tanks. If Nathaniel Greene could defeat Lord Cornwallis, it is on Bob to defeat The likes of Zeke Salvation, right now cranking out conscripts for The glory of The Lord. &#8220;We work with what we got. My Kyoto guys, some Cherokee bad-asses, and Ewoks.&#8221;, Bob said. &#8220;How well do you think ArchAngel knows Kyoto&#8217;s layout?&#8221;, Bob asked. &#8220;ArchAngel has to know the underground forts, but I do not think Zeke Salvation is interested in those. His target is my home.&#8221; Mother said. &#8220;Yeah. I was kind of hoping they&#8217;d go for those hard targets. All keeping Salvation from you are some park benches. How about Mendocino?&#8221; &#8220;They know it has a forest.&#8221;, Mother said un-helpfully. &#8220;Everybody knows Mendocino has a forest! What is your assessment of Zeke Salvation&#8217;s ability to fight in Mendocino?&#8221;, Bob asked, his pulse quickening. &#8220;Zeke Salvation built and trained in a flat desert setting.&#8221;, Mother said.&#8221; Bob smiled. === old When a military force is building up across The way and you&#8217;re awakening your peaceful people, it is time for subterfuge.

Bob knew that. Bob mused, &#8220;Zeke is using Tanks for a deep penetration raid. If Kyoto doesn&#8217;t resist, Zeke has no reason to destroy Kyoto- No, he&#8217;s invading HomePlex and Kyoto is the enemy. He absolutely will destroy Kyoto, then, for good measure, run over the park benches and Trumbull&#8217;s statue just to make a point, then, stroll down the road to Lake Geneva-&#8220;.&#8221; Mother said, &#8220;That could buy you time.&#8221; &#8220;For what?&#8221;, Bob snapped back, then apologized. &#8220;Sorry, doom makes me grumpy.
