Mustering the Crew

I am now much more confident that our crew (http://www.ilovebees.com/crew.html) is numerous, well-trained, and resourceful.

Rank and File. (http://www.ilovebees.com/rank_and_file.jpg) Could use more drill instruction, but the numbers are there.

Elite Forces (http://www.ilovebees.com/elite_forces.jpg), including both combat and covert units.

Navigation and Communication (http://www.ilovebees.com/navigation_and_communication.jpg). Axon hunting has kept these skills sharp.

Science and Medical (http://www.ilovebees.com/science_and_medical.jpg). Crude, but all we can hope for under hopelessly primitive conditions.

Engineering and Mechanical (http://www.ilovebees.com/engineering_and_medical.jpg). Question: possible to make a ship out of re-engineered axons?

Band and Entertainment (http://www.ilovebees.com/band_and_entertainment.jpg). War is waiting. To make the waiting bearable matters.

Special Environment Ops (http://www.ilovebees.com/special_environment.jpg). As yet, more courage than skill. Training will help.

Squads (http://www.ilovebees.com/squads.jpg). We work much better in numbers.

Special Commendations are awarded to:

hmrpita (http://www.ilovebees.com/hmrpita.jpg), who needed to prove herself to me, did, with exemplary work in recruitment.

Myriad Wise Men (http://www.ilovebees.com/myriad_wise_men.jpg), who commandeered a transmission of intense interest to the locals and used it as a carrier wave for spreading the news about our mission.

Further Special Commendations for work on this exercise are in process.

In the matter of the Killer, also styled "Dana", I received several thoughtful suggestions (http://www.ilovebees.com/crew/suggestions.wav) from my loyal (and ingenious) crew. On the basis of this input, I have formulated a plan and put it into action. With some ingenuity, I will also shortly be in position to neutralize the rogue process for good.
