Then a new thought hits me. "Also, ML’s supposed to be liaison with the national military, right? If there’s already a major military presence, and ML’s in tight with it, it’s hard to spot the distinction, neh? Who’s going to notice an extra platoon at a full-blown army base? Only the real higher-ups know that Zebra Platoon—or whatever the frag—is actually on the Star’s payroll. But what have they got for camouflage here in Seattle? The fragging Metroplex Guard. Yeah, right."
