Juliette nodded as the few Peace Dollars in her pocket shouted for her =
to
quit negotiating and accept the offer on the table. She knew she was =
worth
more, especially bringing in her own gear, but this was by far the best
opportunity on the horizon. She wasn't about to screw it up by pressing =
for

can I
meet this 'Colonel,' and the rest of the team?"
