professor
hey there, i hope you and your family are safe, the news reports indicate a catastrophe that we have not seen anywhere in our lifetimes, i can't even imagine what it must be like on the front line. but you are a front line guy ed, you can get through this and you have the ability to bring others through as well.
drop me a line when you can.
love
captain mission

this was the reply...


hey captain,

yeah man its wild! its mad max meets wim wenders meets apocalypse now. tokyo has food shortages, theres no gas anywhere, the whole radiation thing.

me and a dude ive done crazy rescues with are on the ball.

weve formed an underground cowboy unit getting supplies to the tsunami villages. we are funded by wealthy bankers, wheeling and deal food, steal and forging access passes, running all our cars on alternative fuels, taking weird routes and basically just stayin off the radar. we can get anywhere.
we are both living off amphetamines, soy bars, coffee and salad, running 30hr straight trips into the worst areas.

man, its crazy in there. the destruction is surresl. its not nasty war or violent stuff, its just everything gently expanded, shifted and moved.

earthquake wasnt o much damage except some roads etc, but the waves been amazing. i will send images soon.

the radiation thing is weird. we have a counter and are watching it as we have to pass thru the zone in and out.. we have the independant backing of a guy at the sheffield reactor and hes collating my reports and says unless its a certain type of material its still well within work safety standards for british workers.
the dodgy material is unlikely to be present as its mainly used for weapons.

theyre wanting my operation to go straight. we have fought govt and fools to stay off the record and in the underground so we can move thru the shadows and get shit done in the gap s where the big players cant.

on the ground they love us because we show up at midnight, dont play the straight game, have fun and leave em smiling. its cool.

if you can drive a 4wd, cope with stress and want the most screwed up holiday imaginable then come on over. its kinda fun. we need good people who are intelligent enough to operate in the black arts of subversive logistics.

the force is strong with us man.

get the message out that on the ground we are not too stressed about the reactor shit. that story is diverting attention from the humanitarian crisis - they are being forgotten. the nuclear thing is the best excuse for people to do nothing - yet now is the time to do everything and change the system. its the trauma we need to change the imprint, w gotta capitalize on the chaos and warp the wetware.
its beautiful in a strange way.

am i ok? im maybe the best ive ever been! finally the game has risen to my level.

love in a time of chaos,
