"Hikaru," Jeanette asks, "do you want a soda?"
 
"Yes." Hikaru answers. "I think Danielle wants one too."
 
Jeanette steps out of the camper. "Danielle, do you want a soda?"
 
"Yes, please." Danielle answers.
 
Jeanette goes to the gas Camper, retrieves two bottles of cold soda and brings them to the table. Jeanette also wants a soda. Before getting another one she asks, "Does anyone else want a soda?"

"Thank you, Val. I'll take a little of each instead of a lot of one thing." Fernando says to her.
 
Hondo arrives with the beer, handing one to Fernando, "Here's a little to cut the edge."
 
"Thanks Hondo." Fernando returns in kind. The food gets passed around the table, Fernando takes a little bit from each. It may not seem like much but in the end the sum was worth more than its parts.
 
"Not to order anyone around, but tomorrow morning after breakfast, we pack up and get ready to go when the caravan leave in the late afternoon. After packing up, we go to the market one last time and then prepare some meals for the road trip. If we find the cb radio equipment and other vital things, we'll get them installed. Then we will have a big lunch. Then we wait for our position to come up on the end of the line. If we go to the second town where things are friendlier, it might be come a night time trip, so the girls will have to sleep while we roll. Any questions, comment, or objections?" Fernando explains while they eat.

Hondo: slings, bandages, iodine, other general supplies. Some.other groceries too as this crew will go through a lot of food.

"Jeanette has slings, bandages and iodine." Moro says. "What general supplies do you believe we need and how are we doing on groceries between now [Sunday] and Tuesday?"

"We have all three CB radios right now." Moro says. "If you only want one, that's fine. We'll hold the other two. Jeanette changed her mind on the shower mat and decided on shower shoes instead. If this party still wants shower mats, we can get them. Texas has to cut back on fresh food this year and rely more on canned; we can still get fresh food for this important mission. As I asked Hondo, what other supplies do you believe we need?"
 
"Did I hear right?" Jeanette says to Fernando. "We leave at 6:00 AM and arrive at 2:00 AM? I'm in agreement regarding the second town for the reason you stated." Jeanette thinks about the protection. "Moro, will a ship be following the caravan to protect it?"
 
"We can do that." Moro answers.
 
"How big are your ships and do they have to be cloaked?" Jeanette continues.
 
"Different ships are different sizes. We can provide one that is more than capable of defending a caravan. And no, it does not have to be cloaked."
 
Jeanette smiles and looks among the people at the table. "What do you think of an uncloaked ship defending the caravan? I have not seen their ships; I would imagine the intimidation factor alone would be enough to keep the caravan safe."
 
"I would hope so." Moro continues. "Not only would one plasma cannon take out a road gang, it would take out part of the road as well. We don't want to take out part of the road."
