I’m trying to get a job at a chemical company that works not far from where I live, so that’s a plus.

My plate carrier hasn't shipped yet, but my body armor plates are suppose to arrive tomorrow xD

The Confederate Prussian Empire wrote:

Damn. XD

I’ve been contemplating buying an old fashion flak jacket to be honest, just to have.

Nothing wrong with the classics lol, the body armor I got is level 3 steel which I know is gonna be heavy af, but at lease it would be durable XD

Very true, and I’ll be honest when I say I prefer old fashion stuff. The old steel pot helmets, countless other things.

Would be really cool to find an authentic German helmet with the spike on top from during or before the first World War. ^>^

November 1998
_{Emeritus Chairmanship}

BOARD ROOM, PACHTER CORP, AVE OF THE AMERICAS, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Paramountica — MORNING

| As Chairman of Pachter Corporation, ARI PACHTER, mid-60s, gray hair, enters the room; the entire Board of the Company is clearly assembled. The wall-to-wall glass windows display a slightly gray morning, as endless skyscrapers dawn into view. |

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “. . . Good Morning.”

| A strange mix of odd responses, as Members of the Board sheepishly gaze towards their chairman. PACHTER then realizes, an issue is arising . . . Then, the cloak and dagger master speaks, a younger fellow, in his mid-30s, arrogant, LARRY NOLANDER. |

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “Do you want a cup of coffee, or something, Ari?”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “I don’t think so, Larry . . . Do you?”

| NOLANDER gets the memo. |

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “To be blunt, we have obtained information that Rubert Murdock would like to acquire this company, and we wanted to set the details before you.”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “. . . That’s it?”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “Murdock wants a quick answer, and a fast response—”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “—The answer is No . . . Quick enough for you, Larry?”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “Don't you want to hear the details?”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “I'm not interested in the details . . . Furthermore, I'm not interested in the hype picture either. What I am interested in is when my Board got convened behind my back, is entertaining a further proposal from a man whom it offends me to do business with, moreover has the lunacy to present this to me like a catch, and I am expected to clap for it like a performing seal? No, thank you.”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “So I am to understand from your response that you do not want to hear the details of the Murdock offer?”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “Yes, you are to understand that, and now may I ask you a question?”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “Certainly, Ari.”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “Are you running this Company or am I? Because last time I checked, I founded this company while your father was still smirking around in the Ivy Leagues.”

| One of PACHTER’s supporters, DAVID POLLACK, speaks up. A long-time board member of the company, well aware of PACHTER’s success. |

| _{DAVID POLLACK, Board Member} | “We aren’t getting anywhere, why don’t we take a break, in a cool manner, let’s take a week to consider all of this.”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “Mudock wants a faster response than that, David.”

| _{DAVID POLLACK, Board Member} | “He’ll be patient!”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “Murdock won’t need to wait. It’ll be the same answer a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, a century from now. Heck, I’d bet even longer than that too . . . My answer is NO!”

| The board becomes quite under PACHTER’s withering glance. |

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “I will not sell this company off, the Paramerican people have the right to different sources of news information. If not, it’ll be all controlled by one company, and that will be the end of the free press. First it’ll be us, then another outlet . . . So, That's it? I've got a busy day and this meeting has already set me behind. Shall we adjourn?”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “There is just one more thing, a simple question.”

| PACHTER stands by his chair, staring down NOLANDER, desperately uncomfortable but still does not speak. |

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “A motion has been brought before the Board to invoke Article 18 of the corporate charter.”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “. . . In English, please.”

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “Mandatory retirement upon our Chairman's 65th birthday.”

| PACHTER squirms internally, he is speechless, at a loss. |

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “When occurring, the Chairman, Mr. Ari Pachter, will be named Emeritus, and will be welcomed to attend all Board meetings, and will serve as International Spokesman, and of course . . . a settlement, a golden parachute of such vast corporations that his polished Italian shoes will never touch the ground.”

| PACHTER continues to stand, as the board members vote . . . Most in favor of “YES” . . . with POLLACK and two fellows voting “NO”. |

| _{LARRY NOLANDER, Board Member} | “The motion passes . . . Now I propose a motion to merge with Murdock’s firm, as per the proposed deal, I’d like to—”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “Welp, I wonder how long this nonsense will last . . . I’m going out for lunch.”

| PACHTER proceeds to depart from the Board room, now Emeritus Chairman, as in, former Chairman. |

ELEVATOR HALLWAY, PACHTER CORP, AVE OF THE AMERICAS, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Paramountica — MORNING

| As PACHTER walks, awaiting an elevator, POLLACK follows behind him, keeping up PACTHER’s defeated yet fast pace. |

| _{DAVID POLLACK, Board Member} | “. . . It’s not over, Ari, it’s not over ‘till the—”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “Please David, none of that ‘Lady sings’ nonsense.”

| _{DAVID POLLACK, Board Member} | “I’m still certain there is some logic remainder, it’ll be reasoned with! You’ll be up in the country, right?”

| _{ARI PACHTER, Chairman & CEO} | “Yes, come around, we’ll go golfing, maybe a little biplane trip, you’d be an honored guest, David.”

| POLLACK nods to PACHTER, as PACHTER enters the elevator, and the doors close, with POLLACK already strategizing in his head, as PACHTER enters his Mandatory Retirement. |

Hidan: Make sure you have all the clothes and extra sh-t you’re bringing packed by tomorrow, because I don’t want you pulling some last minute f-ckery like you usually do.

Hidan would call to his friend as he left the house before leaving to go get his own stuff packed and ready.

Bismark: I’m never last minute you’re just always in rush!

Bismark called back. Much to Hidan’s annoyance, Bismark would go on to pack late & get scolded by him.

SEVERAL DAYS LATER...

^{NGUYEN VAN LINH AIRPORT, SAIGON, VIETNAM, INDOCHINESE REPUBLIC:}

After a few days, the two friends boarded a flight from South Africa to Iran and then from Iran to Indochina. Once their plane landed in Indochina, they’d walk into the airport. It was a modern, organised and clean airport, unlike what Hidan or Bismark would’ve expected considering their views of Vietnam and Indochina as a whole, were several decades old.

Bismark: Well... this isn’t the Saigon I’ve seen in the pictures....

Bismark said as he and Hidan grabbed their luggage off the conveyor belts at the ‘luggage’ reclaiming area. Most of the people walking past them were (ethnic Vietnamese) Indochinese nationals, who wore neat suits and held briefcases. Hidan & Bismark would notice however that they stood out and towered above everybody considering the average height of Indochinese people seemed to be around 5’6 and 5’8 while Bismark stood at 6’5.

I either have sun poisoning or food poisoning

Maybe a bit of both

This does put a hold on my plans to get donuts again

Good morning COL ^>^

And we're already in March 1999, damn. 1999 will be very busy.
