MAYDAY MAYDAY

Captains log: 1300 hours. 26.02.2010

*csh*
Mayday Mayday, this is Captain van Embden Berkowitz. Position Saket, New Delhi, India.
I believe I am in grave and imminent danger and require immediate assistance.

I have been abandoned by Lieutenant Dan Berk who has been relocated on a special mission in London for the duration of Holi*. I am now manning the Indian Home Front Barricks alone, which has taken numerous hits.

I am surrounded by hostile neighbourhood children, armed with an artillery of water balloons.
I am doing all that I can, but the junior hostiles have infiltrated the precautionary barriers. I am being attacked from all sides, the roof tops have been over run and all balconies are occupied by the enemy.

I am running low on supplies and leopard crawling through the backstreets to the local market is getting too dangerous.

Private Annalisa and Sargeant Adam are expected to report for duty to head up the counter attack on Monday.
But the battle rages on and additional re-enforcements and artillery are required.
As a matter of urgency, wire a defensive strategy, and a plan for a counter attack.
I am surrounded, repeat, surrounded. Emergency, evasive tactics need to be employed.

OVER AND OUT
*csh*




Holi also called the Festival of Colours, is a popular Hindu spring festival. The main day is celebrated by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other.
