John looked at Gareth "problem is they don't want us there. This could lead to the 4th Anglo-Ashanti war. This may be us walking into a trap. 20 families could lose someone. The impact that could have on the village. I've had It signed off. You could be the only one with information to publish about it. First hand from me in correspondence every single week. Captain St Claire wants people he can trust with him as this could lead to the us fighting gorilla style warfare. The families could all look to you for hope, for information, for guidance. You could make a household name for yourself with this."

He sighed "in a way it is pressganging. He's picked people from the military from whitby and pushed us into one unit since the 1881 reform of the army. Alot of soldiers, experienced soldiers have been sat in recruitment depots with nothing to do but train fresh faced kids. He wants people who all speak the same dialect incase it all goes wrong. It's all cloak and dagger stuff. I feel there's more to it to come!"
