Mission Report: Operation Seize Fire

Mission Report: Knight 11 on July 18th, 2034
"Operation Seize Fire"
This is Knight 11 reporting. Today is Tuesday, July 18, 2034. 
The heat is getting to me, I think. Really gotta thank you for this one, boss - being assigned to the deserts of Pakistan in 95 degree weather to comb through the sand dunes looking for hidden bunkers. How did you know that was on my bucket list? And to think I was flattered when you and the Queen approached me with the old 'your particular talents' speech. Ah, I'm just belly-aching. I've seen much worse! 
This is day 15 of our station in the Chagai Hills, and I am incredibly pleased to report that the last of the remaining warheads have been located, just this morning, south of the hills in a large valley. As I make this report our boys and, ahem, girls are in the process of digging them up from their underground bunker. Once recovered, Tiamat is all prepped to shuttle them, one by one, into orbit, and secure them in the disposal bins. 
Uh... I should note that the information finally leading us to the warheads' location was not easily acquired. The prime minister and I had to square off a number of times in debates that made my head want to explode. He states, unequivocally, that Pakistan would refuse to cooperate until China did so first. The amount of proof I threw at the man, showing that China has been subject to the same searches and come up clean, meant nothing to him, I repeat nothing. He remained... remains... convinced that China is yet concealing weapons from inspection. I guess he's still sore over that whole India debacle back in the '20s.
We had to resort to... other measures. After some browbeating we were able to get the defense minister on our side. He was better able to explain the, uh, consequences of non compliances to his boss more effectively than I. And I can assure you that at no time did I step outside of protocol, though we might have to send the officials a basket of cookies, or a bottle of cognac or whatever they drink here, before they welcome the Consortium back with open arms. Maybe a cured ham? Ha, no, wait, bad idea...
Anyway, this brings operation 'Seize Fire: Pakistan' to completion. My men, uh, I mean my team and I, look forward to some well-earned time off. Preferably in Alaska, or Norway, maybe...
This is Knight 11, signing off.
