'Old' Adam Rataj:
"I have hired you to provide security. I would like your recommendations for making the Krolowa strong and ready for a fight. The river is a dangerous place. There will be more bandits. The Russians still control parts of the River. They and the Lublin government may not approve of this boat, its mission, and most of all, its crew. And, there are pirates. They have many boats and powerful weapons. They roam the river north of Annapol but are growing bolder. Not even the government has the power to control them.
"We are carrying a load of bicycles built in Krakow for sale along the river. You will split my 3/8 share of the profits as Captain. Your payment will include food, shelter, ammunition, medical supplies, and transportation as well."
"The first thing you'll want to know is that the bridge at Szczucin is in bad shape. I don't think you're going to be able to squeeze under it- I'd sell you some explosives if I had any. But, I don't."
"Aside from that... We heard some gunfire at Ulcie Solne. Not too heavy, but it weren't no hunting party, if you know what I mean."
"There's really nothing else between here and Tarnobrzeg except for sandbars and burned-out ruins. Now, since you're offer was so generous, I'll throw in a little free advice.
"Stay the fuck away from Tarnobrzeg. The boys up there are rough and they don't pay. Lost two of my best girls up there; I was lucky just to get out with my boat! There's some crazy shit going on in Tarnobrzeg. And I know crazy shit!"
"Sandomierz is better. They've got a serious ORMO there and things are run pretty civilized."
"Oh, we saw a helicopter up near Nowy Korczyn. A heli! Can you believe that shit? Seriously. Couldn't tell you what kind, but it Vic swears it was Russian."
Nowy Korczyn, what a place. First thing we saw was what we could only assume was a warning of chemical contamination. Of course we could have been completely wrong about the yellow sheet hanging in the tree.
The Nida river, which we crossed by bridge, seems fairly calm here. Can't say what it's like downstream where it meets the Vistula though.
In the empty town (chemical or biologically contaminated?), on an abandoned dwelling:

Jay 'Chopper' Hicks:
"They pulled me out of a replacement depot in Bremerhaven...
Seems Hicks was full of shit. His whole story seemed too...perfect somehow, as if he'd had it written for him or just pulled it from some old movie.
Moral to this story is "trust nobody, even those who are supposed to be on your side of the war!"
