And in fulfilling this duty, your colleagues will understand that I expect my orders to be carried out, and failure is not an option.вЂќ He nodded at Politis. You took a vow to serve me until your death, which is precisely what I am requiring of you now-your death. Welch shuddered as the realization of HatchвЂ™s pronouncement spread over him. When we reach the Tuvalu plant, he will be put into the rat bowl.вЂќ Politis took a knife from his utility belt and cut the EGG and Elgen insignias from WelchвЂ™s shoulder and breast. Two men took Welch by the arms, removed his sidearm, and handcuffed him. Strip him of his weapon and insignias and arrest him.вЂќ вЂњEGG Welch is officially relieved of his title and command. вЂњAs an example.вЂќ Four guards stepped into HatchвЂ™s office. вЂњAnd how may I serve my admiral-general?вЂќ вЂњYou donвЂ™t need me to escort you to Jakarta, sir?вЂќ Welch asked. We are going to finish what Vey delayed when he blew up the Ampere.вЂќ If things go as planned-and I expect that they will-weвЂ™ll overthrow the island and establish our base. вЂњWhile I am hosting the Tuvaluan dignitaries, the fleet will rendezvous twelve miles from the main island and commence Operation Home Base. We already have a force of four hundred guards stationed on the island. Then we will fly to Tuvalu for the opening ceremonies of our Funafuti, Tuvalu, Starxource plant. I am flying with EGGs Despain and Bosen to Jakarta to inspect the Edison. вЂњThis evening, the Faraday and the Volta will set sail for Tuvalu. They are already manned and on their way to Tuvalu, as are the Ohm, the Tesla, and the Joule. вЂњSo we have.вЂќ After a moment Hatch said, вЂњWeвЂ™ve acquired two new ships to replace the Watt: the Edison, a battle cruiser from Russia, and the Franklin, a Mistral-class amphibious assault ship from France. вЂњSo much has changed since the beginning. вЂњWeвЂ™ve been together a long time,вЂќ Hatch said. He drank and quickly put the glass down as Hatch slowly sipped his, looking deep in thought. Hatch poured another shot glass of the caramel-colored liquor and handed it to Welch. Thank you, sir,вЂќ Welch said, his confusion growing.

SchemaвЂ™s inconsequential.вЂќ He poured himself a drink from a crystal decanter, then downed a shot and poured another. вЂњWho disappeared? Schema or our man?вЂќДЄgain, Hatch seemed unmoved. One of our men had him for a while, but he disappeared.вЂќ вЂњWhat is the word on Schema?вЂќ Hatch asked. He had never seen him behave so calmly in the face of failure. Okay? Welch was as baffled as he was nervous. Hatch stared at the ground for a moment, then said, вЂњOkay. вЂњIs that all you have to report? That you failed?вЂќ Instead HatchвЂ™s voice was almost mournful, like a jilted loverвЂ™s. He had expected Hatch to rage, to explode. Hatch appeared thoughtful for a moment, then said softly, вЂњYou failed me.вЂќ вЂњWhat is the status of the Electroclan? Are they still in Taiwan?вЂќ Hatch spoke in a low, threatening voice. вЂњNo, IвЂ™ll take your word for it.вЂќ He set down his book, stood, and walked to the side of the room, avoiding eye contact with Welch. I can provide the video for you if you wish.вЂќ The compound looked like Dresden after World War II.

After our barrage of missiles, we dropped napalm. Hatch nodded but continued reading his book. The resistanceвЂ™s ranch has been annihilated.вЂќ вЂњSir, weвЂ™ve destroyed the terroristsвЂ™ home base. It was nearly midnight, and Elite Global Guard Welch stood at attention, his back to the door of Admiral-General HatchвЂ™s office.
