Re: Shagon Wagon
Gavin grabbed an MRE, pack of cigarettes from his rucksack, along with a bottle of local vodka. He broke down the MRE into thirds, based on pouch calories. Barr took lowest ranking Soviet aside, away from the noise of the FDC, to talk.
”My name is Andrew Barr, What is your name?” Gavin said, starting with what he learned in Russian 101. He handed over 1/3 of the MRE.
Gavin had always considered that he might take a Civil Affairs or Foreign Area Officer job later in his career, which had been the impetus to learn Russian in college. Well that and the fact that Eastern European women were definitely his type. He appreciated the talent that could be found in Thailand, but having grown up in the heat and humidity of North Carolina, he wasn’t a big fan Asia in general. And while the Thai girls were good with their hands and mouths, the Ukrainian gymnasts could do things with their bodies that seemed to invalidate more than a few chapters of Gray’s Anatomy.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it to the soldier. ”Where are you from?” When the bottle of vodka came out, Barr took a drink, then handed it over so the Soviet solider could have a draw. "What unit are you with" He spent a few minutes asking some basic questions, listening carefully to try to understand the responses. Slowly he worked through a list of questions.
Did your unit come from China?
Is it a bit unit, or small unit?
How many tanks?
New Kalashnikovs from Moscow, Yes?
OOC: 09:12, Today: 1LT Gavin Barr rolled 43 using 1d100. LNG (RUSSIAN). (Makes ESY and AVG, but not DIF)
Maybe we’ll get through all the questions, maybe not, but Gav will at least try to collect some intel.. for what it is worth. He'll do the same with the next ranking Soviet, and lastly the highest ranking Soviet as well.
