Targets of Opportunity: Blight Unseen

Bassett: Hello. I'm Wilbur Bassett. It's time for Frontline Feedback, where we bring you live inspirational accounts from the men and women actively serving in our armed forces. Today we connect conveniently by satellite to Captain Chad Everest on his tour of duty in the Arctic Circle, guarding the northernmost interests of our global empire. And Captain Everest, you must be having the time of your life up there with all that snow. If you don't feel like skiing, you can always go ice fishing. And if you need to wind down, you can take a steam bath in one of those warm volcanic springs. You're lucky. Everest: (A snapshot of a dancing snowman supplants the video feed.) Volcanic springs? There's nothing like that here. Bassett: No spas? Everest: No, that sounds like government propaganda. Bassett: No skating rinks? Everest: No, we're not holding a winter festival up here, we're fighting an ugly war. See for yourself. Bassett: We're not allowed to show your position to the enemy. Could you describe the scene for us? Everest: How could a camera shot give away our position? The whole region is a frozen wasteland with no landmarks. The landscape is flat and covered in sheets of white snow - except for the pink stain of that enemy minefield… Bassett: We heard shooting and figured the enemy were near. Everest: That was our own troops committing suicide, desperate to escape the nagging hunger and the bitter cold. Bassett: Well you just hang in there, captain. In a couple of months it will be Christmas and you'll be the first to get presents because you're the closest to Santa's workshop.
