Cambodia’s Coronavirus Complacency May Exact a Global Toll

Edit: forgot to put NYTimes and date in the title. Sorry.
After a cruise ship docked in Cambodia, passengers streamed off the ship, maskless, and fears are rising that the country could become a vector of transmission.
Feb. 17, 2020 Updated 8:05 p.m. ET SIHANOUKVILLE, Cambodia — When Cambodia’s prime minister greeted passengers on a cruise ship amid a coronavirus scare on Valentine’s Day, embraces were the order of the day. Protective masks were not.
Not only did Prime Minister Hun Sen not wear one, assured that the ship was virus-free, his bodyguards ordered people who had donned masks to take them off. The next day, the American ambassador to Cambodia, W. Patrick Murphy, who brought his own family to greet the passengers streaming off the ship, also went maskless.
“We are very, very grateful that Cambodia has opened literally its ports and doors to people in need,” Mr. Murphy said.
But after hundreds of passengers had disembarked, one later tested positive for the coronavirus. Now, health officials worry that what Cambodia opened its doors to was the outbreak, and that the world may pay a price as passengers from the cruse ship Westerdam stream home.
Before the Westerdam docked in Sihanoukville, fearful governments in other countries had turned the ship away at five ports of call even though the cruise operator, Holland America, assured officials that the ship’s passengers had been carefully screened.
Prime Minister Hun Sen’s decision to allow it entry appeared to be a political calculus as much as anything else. The region’s longest-serving ruler and a close ally of China, he is known for his survival skills.
But Mr. Hun Sen’s critics worry that the aging autocrat might have acted rashly.
Of course, he had to do the dictator thing: photo op, roses, exploit this for its maximum value,” said Sophal Ear, an expert in Cambodian politics at Occidental College. “Whatever is in the best interest of Cambodians is completely irrelevant to him.”
It is too early to tell whether the decision to let hundreds of passengers from the Westerdam fly off has the makings of an epidemiological disaster. Cambodian health authorities said that 409 of the 2,257 passengers and crew had left Cambodia for their homes scattered across the globe. The rest remain in hotels in Phnom Penh, the capital, or on the ship.
But deficiencies in screening for the coronavirus aboard the ship, along with continued complacency about the epidemic in Cambodia, are raising fears this small Southeast Asian nation could prove to be a surprising vector of transmission for a virus that has already killed more than 1,700 people, mostly in China, the epicenter of the outbreak.
Many health experts urge people who have been in contact with coronavirus patients to self-quarantine for 14 days, lest they add another spoke to the contagion network.
But on Monday, Mr. Hun Sen directed officials in Phnom Penh to treat passengers from the Westerdam to a sightseeing jaunt.
“To tour the city is better than staying in rooms or at the hotel feeling bored or scared,” said a post on Mr. Hun Sen’s Facebook page.
The lack of urgency in Cambodia, where officials milled around the ship on Monday without protection, points to the obstacles in trying to contain a virus that experts warn is spreading faster than SARS or MERS.
This is influenza-like transmission,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. “It’s like trying to stop the wind.
Last week, when the Westerdam docked in Sihanoukville, the Cambodian government and the cruise operator deemed the vessel virus-free.
The declaration was at a minimum premature.
Only 20 people out of the 2,257 onboard were tested for the virus before disembarking, and that was because they had reported themselves to ship medical staff with various ailments.
The woman who twice tested positive after traveling on to Malaysia, an 83-year-old American, was not among those 20, Holland America said.
Health monitoring for the rest of the passengers was limited to a handful of temperature checks conducted with infrared thermometers, passengers said. In a statement, Holland America said that during one of those screenings, not a single person on board recorded an elevated temperature.
On Monday, an announcement broadcast to passengers remaining on the Westerdam warned that they should avoid the ship’s hot deck and return to their air-conditioned rooms to avoid falsely high temperature readings.
Some health experts have questioned the efficacy of infrared thermometers, also known as temperature guns, saying they measure the heat emanating from the surface of the body, rather than core body temperature.
Various environmental factors can distort thermometer gun reading, said Gary Strahan, who runs a small infrared device company in Texas.
“In Cambodia, you have warmer background temperatures,” he said. “It could impact the measurement. That’s the issue with any noncontact thermometer.”
Even if temperatures are accurately gauged, people may be taking medication that lower their temperature, like some arthritis drugs.
And in any case, people who are asymptomatic can still pass on the coronavirus, scientists have found.
“A person who does not present as feverish is not necessarily uninfected with a disease or a virus,” said Jim Seffrin, an expert on infrared devices at the Infraspection Institute in New Jersey.
In the wake of the positive test in Malaysia, Cambodian health officials said they would be relying on a domestic lab to test all passengers and crew members still in the country for the coronavirus.
On Monday evening, passengers celebrated news from Cambodian health officials that a first batch of 406 people in Phnom Penh had tested negative, although there was no certainty they would not later test positive.
“People on the ship are very grateful to the people of Cambodia,” said Tammie Graves, an American from Kansas. “I was a bit worried that they might be afraid of us, even at the hotel, but it hasn’t been like that at all.”
On Monday afternoon, more than 100 Westerdam passengers took up Mr. Hun Sen’s offer of a capital tour, piling in buses to see the royal palace and other sites.
In pictures of the excursion, posted on a government-linked website, only one person can be seen wearing a mask.
Despite cases of coronavirus popping up in Southeast Asia, Mr. Hun Sen has campaigned against masks, arguing that they are better at spreading fear than stopping germs. At a news conference last month, he announced that he would kick out anyone who dared wear a mask.
Even as other governments instituted China travel bans that angered Beijing, Mr. Hun Sen traveled to the Chinese capital and met with Xi Jinping, China’s leader, in another photo op.
And as other countries organized airlifts of people trapped in Wuhan, the city where the virus is believed to have originated, Mr. Hun Sen said he would not ferry Cambodian students home because they should be “joining with Chinese to fight this disease.”
The sense of solidarity makes sense in a country heavily dependent on China for its fortunes, after having turned its back on a West that was demanding progress in human rights in return for aid and investment.
A torrent of Chinese cash has remade Cambodia, nowhere more so than in Sihanoukville, a once sleepy beach town that is now a sprawling construction site of gilded casinos and towering residential blocks. More than 90 percent of businesses in the city are now Chinese owned.
On Monday, Oeun Yen, a masseuse here, worried about the massages she had given three female passengers from the Westerdam before the virus case was confirmed by Malaysia. She was not afraid at first, she said, because the prime minister had assured people all was fine.
Now I am more concerned,” she said.
In a country where Mr. Hun Sen has dissolved the biggest opposition party and political assassination is not uncommon, such mild concern is as much as many ordinary residents are willing to muster.
But there is also widespread skepticism of the government’s contention that only one person in Cambodia has so far tested positive for coronavirus, a Chinese citizen who has since returned home.
“There is a natural lack of credibility and trust associated with the Cambodian government,” said Ou Virak, a human-rights activist and founder of the Future Forum, a local think tank. “This is Hun Sen’s Westerdam problem, because even if he was doing the right thing, purely as a humanitarian, he will be seen as the puppet of China instead.”
On Monday, Mr. Hun Sen announced yet another publicity stunt: He wants to invite the passengers of the Westerdam to a party.
Masks won’t be welcome.

[long compost] Si les candidats à la présidentielle étaient...

Et si les candidats à la présidentielle étaient des clubs de foot, des objets du quotidien ou des acteurs ?
Issues d’une conversation entre potes, les analogies présidentielles sont un projet collaboratif ayant pour ambition la comparaison de ces 11 braves candidats à l’élection présidentielle qui vont du un peu limité au carrément flippant. Pour le lol, quoi.
Ceci n'est que la première partie, le post complet étant trop long. Plus de conneries à venir !
Le Pen c'est le PSG, ça gagne quand ça sert à rien (régionales, municipales, coupe de la ligue et ligue 1) mais dans les grandes occasions (Barça, présidentielles…) ça fait pschiit et tant mieux. Ça tente une politique de dédiabolisation en cachant les fachos (en fermant les tribunes de Boulogne ou en virant son père) et ses origines bourgeoises (un stade dans le XVIe, un manoir à Saint Cloud) mais personne n’est dupe.
Macron c'est Monaco, le club riche qui aime les banques, bref qui a tout pour être haï sauf que tout le monde l'aime parce que c'est le seul à pouvoir battre le PSG. En plus il a bien monté sa stratégie à coup de transferts bien sentis (Bernardo Silva, François Bayrou, Fabinho) et de lâchage opportun (Ranieri/Hollande) Fillon c'est l'OM, un gros club historique qui devrait se battre pour le titre mais un très mauvais management et un peu de corruption l'ont coulé. Il est en reconquête avec une nouvelle recrue prometteuse (Payet/Baroin) mais les autres ont pris trop d’avance. Ce côté bling bling dans le look (costards à 8000 euros, grosses chaînes en or des joueurs) est très mal senti par une base militante qui est à 1000km de ces valeurs.
Mélenchon c'est Nice, ça joue bien, ça parle bien, et jusqu’à il y a peu, on le prenait pas trop au sérieux. C'est un bol d'air frais dans la campagne et on serait content qu'il soit sur le podium. On lui souhaite de confirmer dans la prochaine campagne européenne.
Hamon c'est l'OL, la stratégie est couillue, ça innove en proposant le salaire universel ou en construisant son propre stade, et pourtant qu’il paraît loin le temps où l’institution régnait sur la ligue 1 ou la vie politique française. Maintenant les joueurs ciblés préfèrent des clubs plus attractifs (Mélenchon, Macron…), et la non-qualification en Champions league ou au 2e tour risque de coûter cher. Dupont-Aignan c’est l’ASSE, trop ambitieux pour se résoudre au ventre mou, pas assez bon pour jouer les premiers rôles, il est en situation intermédiaire. Représentant le gaullisme ou le meilleur du foot français, il a eu ses années de gloire dans les 60’s/70’s. A coup de sortie contre l’euro, de sponsors « le coq sportif » et de recrutement français, il défend ardemment le patriotisme économique.
Jean Lassalle c’est Lorient, il va finir dans les derniers suite à une rupture difficile (Gourcuff/Bayrou). Malgré ça tout le monde l’aime bien quand même, il est sympathique et il représente le terroir. En plus au MODEM et dans le Morbihan ça joue en orange.
Philippe Poutou c’est le stade de Reims, ça représente le passé, on le ressort en Ligue 1 ou aux présidentielles à échéances régulières mais tous les grands prophètes de la cause (Lénine, Kopa) sont morts depuis longtemps.
Asselineau c’est Bastia, c’est supporté par deux pelés, trois tondus mais putain tu veux pas les provoquer parce que ça tacle sévère et avec beaucoup de mauvaises foi et de relents complotistes. En plus ça soutient la sortie de l’ensemble dans lequel il est établi (UE, Ligue 1).
Arthaud c’est l’ASNL : ça se bat avec ses moyens, c'est arc-bouté en défense (des travailleurs ou "qui s'y frotte s'y pique"), ça manque de panache et de brio mais on en a besoin pour faire une Ligue 1/campagne old school. Malgré ça, sans Youssouf Hadji ou Laguillet c'est plus pareil. En plus on dirait pas comme ça mais ça peut être agressif comme Rousselot à une réunion de la FFF.
Cheminade c’est le RCL. Un gros projet pour nous enfumer (la conquête de l’espace, Hafiz Mammadov) mais ça décolle pas. Pourtant on sait pas pourquoi, on le trouve fascinant.
Le jeu à la nantaise c’est le philosophe roi de Platon : tout le monde fantasme dessus, mais personne l’a vu en vrai depuis l’Antiquité. Puis bon faut pas se mentir, on sait qu’avec la Ve République ou Emiliano Sala en pointe, c’est complétement inapplicable ce truc.
Macron c’est Tom Cruise, c’est bankable, tu le vois partout, c’est propre sur lui et souriant. Mais quand tu vas voir un film avec lui, tu sais qu’il va toujours jouer de la même façon. Et avec la scientologie tu sais jamais trop ce qui se passe derrière lui et à qui il obéit vraiment.
Hamon et Mélenchon c’est Alexandra Lamy et Jean Dujardin. Tous les deux sont de bons acteurs, bien que le 2ème soit quand même plus charismatique et populaire. Quoi qu'il en soit nul doute qu'ils sont meilleurs à deux, et la (re)formation d'un duo aurait emballé de nombreux Français. Mais peuvent-ils s'entendre professionnellement quand un divorce les a séparés dans leur vie privée ?
Cheminade c’est Michel Blanc, comme Jean-Claude Duce, y a que lui qui croit que “sur un malentendu ça peut passer”. On irait pas jusqu'à dire “qu'on le trouve très beau” mais bon il a l'air sympa et devrait prétendre à autre chose qu’à des rôles comiques
Lassalle c’est Patrick Bosso, tu le mets dans ta comédie française seulement parce que t’es à court de blagues et que tu te dis que tu vas faire rigoler les gens juste grâce à son accent. C’est con parce que si ça se trouve il dit des trucs super intelligents.
Fillon c’est Depardieu : quand il s’agit de faire son travail, le mec est super à l’aise, limite un dieu, par contre en dehors de ça… Il a visiblement un problème avec l’argent, et les russes l’aiment bien sans que tu saches trop pourquoi. T’as beau lui reconnaître un certain talent, des fois tu te dis qu’il ferait bien d’arrêter les frais.
Asselineau c'est Jacques Villeret : tu l’inviterais bien pour un dîner de cons mais pas beaucoup plus.
Arthaud c'est Scarlett Johansson : si tu devais faire le Grand Soir, ce serait avec elle.
Poutou c’est Jean Reno : il a toujours un air de chien battu, il est pas bien fringué mais quand il s’agit de dézinguer ou de sortir les punchlines, on peut compter sur lui.
Marine Le Pen c’est Léa Seydoux : sans papa ou tonton, elles seraient jamais arrivés là. On voit sa tronche partout, même à l’étranger, et putain que c’est énervant. Clairement, leur plus grand talent c’est de faire croire qu’elles en ont.
Dupont-Aignan c’est Véronique Genest (Julie Lescaut) : clairement, il y a un petit charme franchouillard, qui marche bien, surtout chez les vieux. Pendant longtemps, il est resté dans l’ombre de l’UMP comme elle est restée dans l’ombre de Maigret et Columbo sur TF1. Puis ils ont voulu que les gens votent directement pour eux, et c’est parti en couille.
Le Pen c’est une choucroute : bien blanche, un peu grasse, avec du porc dedans histoire que tout le monde ne puisse pas en manger et qui démolit le bide à chaque fois. Et comme une choucroute, ça passe mieux en buvant.
Macron c’est un plat light à réchauffer au micro onde : c’est tiède, allégé en calories et en idées, et globalement personne n’est convaincu mais tout le monde se résout à l’utiliser une fois dans sa vie.
Mélenchon c’est un chili con carne. C’est rouge et piquant. Avec ses relents sud-américains, tu kiffes bien quand t’en manges de temps en temps, mais à grosse dose il fait chier violemment.
Hamon c’est du boulgour ou du quinoa : tu sais pas trop ce que c’est, à part que c’est supposé être bon pour toi, et t’en as déjà vaguement entendu parler mais tu sais plus où. Difficile de savoir ce qu’il y a dedans, ça a pas l’air mauvais mais ça te rappelle un peu trop les plats de cantine (ou le quinquennat Hollande) alors tu risques de passer ton tour.
Fillon c’est un fish’n’chips : sans saveur, vieux, ennuyeux et complètement surestimé par quelques électeurs de droite et hipsters paumés. T’en as déjà mangé une fois, c’est sur, mais tu n’en gardes pas vraiment de souvenirs.
Jean Lassalle c’est une garbure : c’est bien rustique, ça a une drôle de tronche sympathique, donc c’est du Sud-Ouest. C’est un mélange de tout et n’importe quoi pas désagréable, mais t’en manges jamais parce que tu sais pas où en trouver une bonne, comme tu te dis qu’il te fait marrer mais tu voteras pas pour lui parce que tu n’arrives pas à trouver une bonne proposition.
Dupont-Aignan c’est une soupe à l’oignon : c’est bien de chez nous, ça se veut réconfortant et c’est le genre de plat qu’on regarde bizarrement à l’étranger. Tu l’apprécies parfois mais tu te rends compte que ça a toujours le même goût. Pas désagréable à sortir de temps en temps, mais répétitif au point de faire pleurer, ça sera jamais un plat favori.
Jacques Cheminade c’est du gloubi-boulga : ça fait longtemps que c’est dans le coin, t’en as peut-être même entendu parler quand t’étais petit et que tes parents votaient en 95. Tu connais pas la recette mais tu sais qu’on met n’importe quoi dedans. ça a beau être super vieux, tout le monde continue à en rigoler.
François Asselineau c’est un jambon beurre : plus français tu meurs, mais ça intéresse personne. ça essaie des fois de se rendre intéressant, mais ça ne plait qu’aux simples d’esprit. ça veut te faire croire que c’est révolutionnaire mais c’est des vieilles recettes.
Philippe Poutou c’est un burrito avec extra piment : ça a parfois tendance à se faire un peu écraser, de l’extérieur ça a l’air inoffensif et doux, mais ça peut brûler sévère. Y a plein de trucs dedans que tu peux avaler quand c’est jeté ensemble comme quand il parle au débat, mais pris séparément ça perd tout son intérêt.
Nathalie Arthaud c’est du pâté de tête : rouge, sanglant, et fait avec des morceaux de porc ou de patron, voilà un plat bien nourrissant pour les travailleurs exploités par le capital. C’est un truc bien français qui n’est pas bien méchant mais qui est regardé comme une curiosité exotique depuis l’étranger, parce qu’en 2017 on a plus besoin de manger de la tête de cochon, la guerre est finie depuis longtemps.
Macron : milf, évidemment.
Fillon c’est un bukkake : Tout le monde se lâche sur lui, il prend tellement cher que tu te dis que ça va forcément s’arrêter à un moment, mais pourtant il est prêt à aller jusqu’au bout en souriant.
Cheminade :
Hamon : porno féministe. Troo en avance sur son temps pour fonctionner . Manque clairement de virilité.
Arthaud c'est de l’allemand des années 80. Un carton à l'époque, essaie de subsister aujourd'hui mais les codes sont complètement obsolètes.
Lassalle : Jacquie et Michel/amateur. C’est pas toujours très joli, mais au moins c’est de chez nous !
Mélenchon : bdsm. Avec un brin de bon sens tu sais que c'est l'exact opposé du plaisir mais il y en a qui y croient. Honnêtement comme tous les fantasmes, vaut mieux pas que ça devienne de l’ordre du reel.
Le Pen c'est du trans : parce ce que burk
Asselineau : les trucs moins de 16 ans qui passent à la télé tard le soir. Ça veut faire croire que c'est crédible alors que niveau scenario c'est au même niveau que le reste de l’industrie, voire pire. Reste globalement un truc assez obscur d’initiés un peu marginaux, du genre de ceux qui collectionnent les musiques de film X.
NDA : du porno asiatique. Ça s'agite beaucoup, ça veut faire comme les grands, mais globalement quand il s'agit de monter en intensité ça pue l'impuissance.
Poutou
Pujadas c'est la femme d’Ardisson : tout le monde lui est passé dessus dans le milieu .
Cheminade est une fusée spatiale, évidemment.
Poutou c’est une Lada, moche, grise mais increvable et qui est toujours là quand on en a besoin, même si elle a pas envie.
Jean Lassalle c’est un tracteur, c’est rustique, y’a que les paysans qui comprennent comment ça marche, ça avance lentement et ça met du temps à démarrer mais quand c’est lancé, vaut mieux pas être sur son chemin. Ça a sûrement servi à écraser quelques animaux.
Hamon c’est une bicyclette : tu sais qu’avec un peu de volonté il pourrait t’emmener loin mais tu te trouves toujours une excuse pour repousser l’expérience : un orage (financier) qui se profile, ta condition physique défaillante, le confort rudimentaire, et surtout l’envie de faire comme tes voisins et de sortir en 4x4. En bref tu te dis que c’est peut être condamné à rester un épiphénomène citadin pas tout à fait adapté au reste du pays, et c’est un peu dommage.
Mélenchon c’est un skate. Ça avait l’air super cool quand t’avais 14 ans et que tu passais tes après-midi à zoner devant ton bahut en écoutant Bérurier Noir, Mano Negra et les Négresses Vertes, vans aux pieds, mais heureusement pour toi, tu t’es aperçu qu’en fait c’était un peu pourri bien avant ta majorité. Aujourd’hui t’as honte d’en parler et t’aimerais bien croire que t’es passé à autre chose avec ta vie bien rangée, mais parfois tu te demandes si tu vas pas faire une connerie et le sortir du placard avec ton vieux poster du Che.
Fillon c’est une berline allemande, t’as cru en son discours basé sur la compétitivité coût et hors coût, la modération salariale et une rigueur à toute épreuve. Bref c’est sûr que c’est moins clinquant qu’une petite italienne, mais les patrons et la vieille bourgeoisie austère française ne jurent que par ça. En plus sous le capot il y a ce qu’il faut et puis faut bien dire qu’avec la puissance industrielle de la Rhur ou des Républicains t’as été habitué au solide. Puis un bon matin un scandale a éclaté et tu t’es aperçu que toutes ces histoires de Deutsh Qualitat non seulement c’était que du vent mais qu’en plus c’était même dangereux. Bref dorénavant que ce soit en politique ou en voiture, tu te méfieras du vendeur ou du militant qui te parlera du modèle allemand.
Le Pen c’est un avion, ça fait 150 ans que ton beauf un peu raciste te dit que c’est le futur, alors que les “experts-technocrates-islamogauchistes-journalopes-du-système” essaient au contraire de sensibiliser sur les désastreuses conséquences. Ce gros truc pas très subtil qui veut se faire passer pour un bijou de technologie, c’est juste un charter sans coeur pour ramener les migrants d’où ils viennent. A la limite tu reconnais que c’est sympa pour visiter tes potes en low-cost à travers l’Europe, mais t’aimes vraiment pas ceux de Hongrie, d’Autriche ou d’Italie proches du FN.
Macron c’est le covoiturage, on dirait une idée géniale comme ça mais en fait les gens ont pas attendu “les potentialités ouvertes par la révolution numérique et un monde hyper connecté de mes couilles” pour l’utiliser depuis des décennies. Du coup quand tu montes dans la voiture tu penses que tu vas rencontrer des jeunes sur-éduqués et éco-responsables alors qu’en fait tu te retrouves coincé entre Marie-Hélène dont le Touareg est en rade depuis janvier dernier et Moussa qui est pas fan mais qui veut tout faire pour éviter le charter. T’as aussi pu papoter avec Winston-Edouard, un hipster sympa et paumé qui a un peu honte d’avoir abandonné son Vélib mais qui a compris qu’il valait pas tripette sur les routes vallonnées de province, et le conducteur Roger, le franchouillard de base qui fait juste ça parce que c’est à la mode et qu’il a toujours été un peu radin.
Asselineau c’est un scooter à trois roues avec un toit : c’est laid que ça en peut plus et complètement inutile, c’est trop gros pour passer entre les voitures mais tout aussi dangereux qu’un scooter normal. Tu te demandes comment ce truc là a pu un jour sortir de l’usine et quel idiot a pu le concevoir. Et le pire, c’est que certains en achètent.
Arthaud c’est une Simca 1000 : il fût un temps, y en avait beaucoup, surtout chez les ouvriers. Aujourd’hui c’est presque une pièce de musée, mais on la ressort des fois pour se rappeler le bon vieux temps. Et on profite pour bien rigoler, comme dans la chanson des Chevaliers du fiel.
Dupont-Aignan c’est un 2CV : bien français, très à la mode dans les années 70 mais complètement dépassé aujourd’hui. On en croise encore de temps en temps, ça nous fait sourire mais d’un autre côté on s’étonne que voir qu’il y a encore de rares personnes fascinés.
Cheminade c’est du Get 27, tes potes se foutent de ta gueule quand t’en ramènes, ça aime le vert (comme les martiens), et au final c’est gentillet, même quand tu le vomis ça sent la menthe. Poutou c’est du pastis, ça fait péquenaud du coin, ça a l’air de rien surtout que tu le dilues dans l’eau, mais le lendemain tu te rends compte qu’il t’a quand même méchamment attaqué et donné une sacrée gueule de bois.
Arthaud c’est une Kronenbourg, c’est rigolo à boire de temps en temps, ça fait populaire, mais ça devient vite répétitif et ça fait pas mal éructer.
Asselineau c’est une vodka Lidl, c’est pas bon, t’as vite fait le tour et tout ce que t’en retiens c’est que ça veut violemment sortir.
Macron c’est du punch, c’est à la mode, c’est bien présenté et bien propre, ça sent bon, mais au final tu sais pas vraiment ce qu’il y a dedans et comment c’est dosé. Et du coup vu que tu sens pas l’alcool, tu le bois sans problèmes et t’as de fortes chances de te réveiller le lendemain sans savoir pourquoi t’as soudainement mal au cul.
Le Pen c’est du rouge qui tâche, chaque fois que tu le bois tu te sens obligé de sortir le saucisson et t’es tout fier d’être français. Mais quand t’y réfléchis, ton pinard il est quand même un peu rance et sûrement bouchonné, et tu veux pas vraiment voir la gueule du tanin.
Lassalle c’est une bouteille de Stroh. Quand tu la bois, tu comprends pas trop ce qu’il t’arrive mais il te prend une soudaine envie de chier sur la nature. Fillon c’est du rosé pamplemousse. Quand tu ramènes ça en soirée, tu peux pas t’empêcher d’avoir honte, du coup tu te terres dans un coin en espérant que personne te fera la remarque. Ta seule ligne de défense si tu te fais repérer, c’est “oui mais quand je vous regarde boire, on voit bien que personne ne pense à l’état de son foie”.
Mélenchon c’est un jagerbomb. Quand tu les enchaînes, t’as une sacrée pêche et t’es prêt à aller jusqu’au bout de la night, mais t’es tellement excité que la moitié de tes potes arrêtent de t’adresser la parole et t’arrives pas à comprendre pourquoi.
Hamon c’est le résultat d’une partie de King, ou un tout-à-l’égout comme dans le sketch des Inconnus. Tu sens bien qu’il y a de l’idée, que tu tiens peut-être le cocktail du futur et que tout le monde y a mis du sien. Mais bizarrement quand vient le moment de le tester, il y a plus grand monde d’intéressé.
Dupont-Aignan c’est une bouteille de champagne au Nouvel An. Tu la ramènes plein de bonne volonté, tu te dis que tu l’as quand même payée bien cher et qu’elle te permettra de briller et de montrer comment t’es riche et t’as des bons goûts à tous tes potes. Sauf qu’au moment où tu la présentes, tout le monde a déjà trop bu, et à peine tu l’ouvres que tes potes s’emparent de la bouteille et la boivent cul-sec comme une bouteille de Kro. Pas grave, tu retenteras le coup l’an prochain.
Macron : L’auberge espagnole, évidemment. Des PS, des UDI, des guérinistes, des chiraquiens, Renaud, Villani, Bayrou, et même un sénateur LR... n’importe quoi. Et au milieu de ça, t’as un jeune séducteur qui essaie de se taper une maman pendant la moitié du film. Le pire c’est que malgré le peu de profondeur du personnage, il y arrive.
Cheminade : Mars Attacks. Il a un charme vieillot qui fait qu’il nous est sympathique, même si c’est du grand n’importe quoi. On rigole bien avec ses aliens mais c’est parfois trop invraisemblable.
Arthaud : Germinal. Les travailleurs qui crèvent à 40 ans, les patrons salauds et et les bourgeois violeurs, noir et blanc, la politique c’est aussi simple que ça.
Dupont-Aignan : Le Père Noël est une ordure. C’était marrant au début, mais à force d’entendre toujours les mêmes trucs régulièrement, on commence en à avoir un peu marre
Le Pen : La Vague. Quand tu le regardes, tu dis “putain c’est fou comme on peut se laisser embrigader, mais bon c’est juste un film, ça arrivera jamais”. Mais après, t’y repenses et tu serres les fesses.
Jean Lassalle : Les collègues. Du grand n’importe quoi avec un accent incompréhensible pour 90% des français, mais quand on comprend on se marre bien.
Mélenchon c’est La ligne rouge : en le regardant tu sais que tu vas pas être déçu. Tout comme Méluche, ce film n’a pas son pareil pour alterner scènes contemplatives poétiques et moment de gore où lance-flamme et gros calibres sont de sortie. Enfin, cette campagne qui ressemble quand même à un dernier baroud d’honneur, fait écho au fait qu’après celui-là, Terence Malik n’a plus sorti que des bouses.
Hamon : Tomorrowland. Ça se veut optimiste sur le futur, la technologie et tout, mais tout le monde lui met des bâtons dans la roue et ça subit des trahisons dans son propre camp. L’intention est bonne, on a envie d’y croire parfois, mais le propos est maladroit. Le casting est bon mais pas assez bien géré et le poids de la maison mère est parfois trop présent, surtout quand elle persiste à faire du placement de produit.
Fillon c’est L’aile ou la cuisse : on te fait croire que c’est de la cuisine authentique du terroir alors qu’en fait c’est de l’industriel dégueulasse. L’aile ou la cuisse aussi, parce que comme Coluche dans le film, tu sens que malgré toute sa bonne volonté (et sa mauvaise foi) le mec a pas les épaules pour prendre la suite du patriarche, tu sais le petit excité qui gigote partout avec ses tics et qui nous faisait rire. Du coup le mélange tragicomique pourrait passer, mais ça reste une comédie française, ça a pas vocation à être nominé aux oscars ou au 2e tour.
Asselineau : JFK d'Oliver Stone, quand tu le regardes, ça a l'air crédible et c'est bien organisé, mais quand t'y réfléchis c'est juste un vieux fond de complotisme hérité des années 60. Poutou c’est Avengers 2 (Age of Ultron) : dans la continuité d’une tradition qui commence à dater, on a parfois senti que c’était un peu forcé mais on passe un bon moment. Quelques scènes d’action bien percutantes, mais un scénario peu crédible.
Fillon c’est Batman : il veut se faire passer pour le justicier sans reproche qui va rétablir l’ordre (ou les finances ?) chez lui, mais il a une vision assez personnelle de la justice. Au début il te faisait bander avec son côté dark et incompris, mais ça va François on a compris que tes parents (ou ta Penelope ?) sont mal en point. Bref il gagnerait à se dérider un peu et à trouver un side kick un peu moins creux
Macron c’est Superman : parce que la Picardie c’est au moins aussi paumé que Krypton, qu’ils sont tous les deux super chiants et que pourtant à la fin ils ont de grandes chances de mettre tout le monde d’accord dans la Ligue des justiciers
Lassalle c’est pas le Flash : pourtant ça lui aurait bien servi pour faire son tour de France à pied Poutou c’est Hulk : inoffensif en interview quand il doit être calme et logique, il a tout éclaté quand il a piqué une grosse colère dans le débat. T’as kiffé, mais autant dire que sur le long terme tu fais pas confiance à un mec aussi instable
Arthaud c’est Captain America : elle revient d’un passé révolu où le communisme a pris des produits dopants, elle a des références carrément datées, mais on peut pas lui enlever qu’elle est toujours aussi énergique qu’à l’époque.
Le Pen c’est Thor : elle représente le bon aryen, et d’ailleurs la fois où on a décidé de mettre un noir dans son film ça a fait polémique. Elle ne répond pas à la justice de notre monde, et elle est du genre à poser les pieds sur la table. A l’entendre on a l’impression que c’est la seule à pouvoir empêcher l’invasion d’Asgard.
Hamon c’est Green Lantern : son pouvoir c’est de pouvoir créer plein de choses par la force de sa pensée, mais manque de bol il a coulé au box-office.
Asselineau c’est le Punisher : il a plus qu’un objectif dans la vie, c’est la vengeance contre l’Europe et il reculera devant rien pour y parvenir. Et il a fallu attendre cette année pour qu’on lui trouve enfin un acteur convenable.
Cheminade c’est Wolverine : t’as l’impression qu’il est là depuis 20 ans, il serait temps qu’il prenne sa retraite parce que le concept commence à fatiguer.
Mélenchon c’est Spider-Man : il aime le rouge et il est super bon pour balancer des punchlines même si des fois il te paraît un peu immature voire colérique. Au final tout le monde le trouve sympathique même si au fond on se dit rarement que c’est notre super-héros préféré. Ses résultats sont très imprévisibles selon les films/campagnes, mais dans l’ensemble il est plutôt bankable.
NDA c’est les 4 fantastiques : il ressort de temps en temps juste le temps de palper les chèques et de faire jouer sa marque, mais à chaque fois c’est la grosse déception. T’as plus beaucoup d’espoirs pour son avenir.
Macron c'est Monoprix : sous des aspects "cools", "branchitude", "lol" et "fun" c'est plus ou moins toujours la même merde que chez les autres, mais mieux packagée et marketée. Et en plus c’est cher !
NDA c'est Franprix : c'est un peu une curiosité aujourd'hui. Il était indémodable il y a quelques dizaines d'années, comme le gaullisme, mais aujourd'hui on en voit très peu et dedans ça sent pas très frais. Et malgré son manque d'originalité ça se permet d'être cher. Reste une valeur sûre dans les villes bourgeoises et hors de prix (genre Aix)
Le Pen c'est Casino : ça veut te faire croire que c'est resté la petite épicerie typique, magnifiée par la nostalgie et qui ne peut pas lutter à armes égales avec les majors de la grande distribution alors qu'en fait c'est une multinationale, particulièrement bien implantée en Alsace et qui se torche le cul avec les aspirations des consommateurs de base
Fillon c’est Auchan : ça se la joue l’entreprise familiale à la française, limite trop familiale, mais en réalité ça détourne des fonds ou ça paie ses impôts en Belgique.
Hamon c’est Amazon Go, ça s’est lancé un peu trop tôt et ça marche pas vraiment mais l’idée est là et y’a pas à dire, c’est le futur. En plus ça parle de la robotisation du travail.
Cheminade c’est presque Leclerc : l’un revendique les plus petits prix, l’autre le plus petit nombre d’électeurs.
Lassalle c’est le marché du Sud-Ouest : tu comprends pas tout quand on te parle, mais l’ambiance est plutôt sympa même si t’es pas sur à 100% de savoir ce que tu manges.
Arthaud c’est un kolkhoze : exploiter des travailleurs pour que d’autres travailleurs exploités gaspillent le fruit de leur exploitation pour engraisser les capitalistes ? et puis quoi encore ? Poutou c’est Lidl : c’est pas cher, c’est pas toujours de bonne qualité et c’est pour les pauvres, mais sur certains points ça fait plaisir, surtout quand t’es jeune
Asselineau c’est la supérette qui est supposé être ouverte 24/24 mais que tu vois jamais avec le rideau levé : ça balance des chiffres et ça se veut sérieux, mais y a que des mecs bizarres qui rentrent là-dedans et ça sent un peu la drogue
Mélenchon c’est un supermarché associatif : y a de bonnes idées, mais dans l’ensemble c’est quand même pas mal compliqué. Tu voudrais bien y aller mais finalement ça te parait irréaliste alors tu laisses tomber. En plus faut être nombreux pour que ça marche, mais y a que les gens qui ont le temps qui y vont (les vieux, les chômeurs, les bobos et les étudiants)
Le Pen c’est l’épouvantail : elle a le pouvoir de faire peur à tout le monde. Par contre pas besoin de gaz pour être nauséabonde, il suffit qu'elle parle du vel’ d’hiv’
Cheminade
Mélenchon
NDA
Lassalle
Macron c'est Ozymandias : il va t’enculer, c'est sûr mais tu hésites à savoir si c'est pour ton propre bien
Asselineau
Arthaud c'est Mister Freeze : plus aucune crédibilité depuis les années 90 (coucou Arnold) et pourtant y avait du potentiel
Poutou
Hamon
Fillon
Asselineau c’est un plug anal : tout le monde en a pas, mais tu sais que ceux qui en ont forment une communauté assez soudée. En général, ceux qui l’achètent adorent se faire mal au cul sans raison.
Fillon c’est une télé, un truc de vieux aigris qui te disent que de leur temps, quand il y avait que l’ORTF et le Général c’était mieux et qui te disent d’ouvrir un livre quand tu traines sur internet alors qu’ils savent pas ce que ça veut dire SF et que la seule émission culturelle qu’ils regardent c’est le JT de Pernaut. Quoi qu’il en soit son quotidien serait quand même meilleur si Cash investigation arrêtait de lui chercher des noises pour une histoire de juste prix avec sa famille en or. Tout le monde veut prendre sa place, mais lui sait qu’on ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde et c’est son choix.
Arthaud c’est une faucille : il y a très longtemps, ça a pu être utile à quelques-uns, et encore on peut en douter. Aujourd’hui c’est devenu un symbole qu’on ressort de temps en temps, sans trop savoir pourquoi ni vraiment à quoi ça sert.
Cheminade c’est un minitel : tout à fait français, il a des raisons d’en vouloir aux Américains. A l’époque on se demandait si c’était vraiment ça l’avenir et y en a qui y ont cru, mais aujourd’hui il faut vraiment être marginal pour s’en servir. Ou alors être le genre de geek qui vénère le vintage et qui croit encore à la beauté du geste plus qu’à l’efficacité.
Poutou c’est un barbecue : idéal pour aller avec un apéro un peu arrosé après la fête de l’huma ou pour une merguez dans une grève CGT, le barbecue Poutou marche au poil, à condition de bien souffler sur le braises si le vent tourne.
Le Pen c’est tout ton mobilier de jardin réuni en un : elle commence par tailler les journalistes au sécateur pour faire bonne figure. Elle sait que c’est grâce à ça qu’elle va ratisser large quand il y aura besoin. Elle a beau t’enfumer comme ta tronçonneuse thermique quand tu la sors, tu sais que si elle applique son programme tu finiras complètement tondu.
NDA c’est une horloge à coucou : il parait que c’était très à la mode il y a des décennies, mais aujourd’hui même tes grand-parents n’en ont pas. On en croise périodiquement dans les marchés et les brocantes, ça nous fait marrer mais personne en achète jamais à part quelques passionnés. Ça prend beaucoup de place pour son utilité et ça répète toujours la même chose aux mêmes périodes.
Mélenchon c’est une kalashnikov : pas toujours très précis, mais solide et efficace pour dézinguer tous tes adversaires d’un coup. On se demande s’il n’a pas été fabriqué en Russie. On en entend régulièrement parler dans les médias, mais mais on est loin d’être sur de vouloir s’en servir.
Macron c’est un jeu d’échecs parce que pour bien y jouer soit il faut être un génie, soit il faut être du sérail et en maîtriser les codes en ayant appris le plus de tactiques par coeur et en sachant quand les appliquer. La question qui demeure c’est, une fois élu sera-t-il plutôt cavalier servant ou fou du roi au service de la finance.
Lassalle c’est un moulin à café : ah le vieux moulin à café de chez ta grand-mère de Bagnère de Bigores, tu l’adores. Si vénérable et malgré ça, il a toujours l’air de marcher, comme ces vieux objets faits en France du temps de nos grand-parents, avant l’obsolescence programmée et la désindustrialisation, savent si bien le faire. En le voyant tu te prends à rêver : pas besoin de toute cette foutue technologie pour bien vivre, à bas l’ultra modernité, vive le temps long ! Tu le dépoussières patiemment en imaginant à quoi il ressemblera, une fois qu’il aura recouvré son lustre d’antan, tu le bichonnes, tu lui passes tous ses défauts, cette fois c’est sûr tu as une certitude dans ta vie ! Et puis tu l’essaies pour de vrai, et c’est le drame, tu saisis la réalité : si ça fait 20 ans au moins qu’il a plus servi c’est parce qu’il est complètement dépassé et c’est pas toi qui y changera quoi que ce soit. Bravo l’ancien, on va te garder bien exposé encore deux semaines pour le style et pour service rendu et puis on te remontera au grenier…. Ou à la casse.
Hamon c’est un bouquin : si on avait un peu de motiv’ on pourrait bien s’en servir, mais chez la plupart des gens il est juste utilisé pour caler une porte ou une table et on l’oublie là.

The Weight We Carry Ch 18

So you've been asking and I heard! The latest chapter in The Weight We Carry! I got bit by the writing bug earlier this morning and if my strange writing habits weren't so time consuming I'd have it out sooner. As it is I'm posting this and then going to bed! So if there's any glaring mistakes or horrible things I didn't mean to leave in? Well... shit.

Previous Chapter
Highway Y outside Eldon, Former Missouri. 9:21 am local time, December 25th 2034.
“This… isn’t… a very… good… Christmas.” I looked over my shoulder with a smirk as I saw Sergeant Huertas pedaling along at the back of the group. Wobbling a little as he kept riding.
“What’s wrong sergeant? Don’t you get enough PT? This is just a nice little ride into town.” I looked ahead up Highway Y as we kept riding. Thankfully it hadn’t snowed since the trucks came through so the road was clear enough for the rest of us to follow on our bikes. Since the attack on Fort Sierra the trucks and cars were all being used to move around supplies and equipment, along with our wounded. The rest of us. Myself included, had two choices for transport. Foot. Or bike.
“It’s… not that… this… hurts… my dick.” The sergeant replied which made the rest of us start laughing and I shook my head a little at his rather honest answer.
“You’ve got to adjust the seat sergeant. Didn’t anyone ever teach you how to properly ride a bike?” I asked then as I looked back to see him huff and puff, his breath coming out in big plumes thanks to the low temperature.
“When I was a kid! Not… for this… ride so… long… your dick… hurts… shit.” I couldn’t help but laugh once again. “In the… fishing village… where I grew up… we drove places.” I thought that over a moment.
“Fishing village? Aren’t you from LA?” I asked and he nodded as he kept pedaling.
“Like I said… the fishing village. Fuck… I didn’t… join the army… for no… goddamn… tour de… Missouri shit.” I kept chuckling even as I shook my head and kept moving. Leave it to Sergeant Huertas to make a long cold bike ride more amusing.
“Come now sergeant. Bicycle corps have a long and storied military history. Starting in the late 1800s. Used by the first commandos of the modern age. The Dutch in South Africa.” I glanced around the group of bike riders around me then. Lewis was to my right, Felon was to my left, and the rest of Alpha around us. I was plenty well protected in this group of resistance soldiers riding their bikes into old Eldon. Might as well give them a little history lesson while we rode.
“The Dutch? Weren’t they known for smoking a lot of pot and growing tulips?” Lewis asked which made me chuckle again.
“Don’t let their modern history fool you. The Dutch once held a massive trade empire spanning the globe. New York as first New Amsterdam, and Australia was New Holland. Though for some reason the Brits didn’t rename New Zealand… Anyway they actually started a lot of modern military ideas. The first marines were Dutch. They raided the English navy at port once. Burned up a lot of ships up the Thames river which would be like… the Cubans sailing up the Mississippi and burning shit in Saint Louis.”
“The Dutch?” Felon asked and I nodded as we kept pedaling along, Huertas wheezing behind us.
“Yep. Then their king… or prince? The monarch of the Netherlands at some point became the king of England and shit went downhill for the Dutch after that. The Brits conquered most of their colonies and they were never the same… But anyway back to bicycle corps. In the…” I paused and tried to remember my years a bit. “A few centuries ago the Dutch settled in South Africa and later the Brits showed up and drove them inland away from the coast. The Netherlands had to give up the colony and they became the independent… Boers. Before you ask no I have no idea what Boers means or why the name change.”
“They called themselves pigs?” Lewis asked and I laughed before shaking my head.
“B-O-E-R-S.” I spelled out. “Like I said. I don’t know the meaning. Anyway, the Brits weren’t satisfied with the coastal towns when they found out about the resources deeper in South Africa… and all of Africa I guess. So they took over. Then the Boers began a resistance campaign that spawned the first modern commandos. Hit and run raids, early IEDs, all sorts of guerilla tactics. It was a brutal and protracted affair. War crimes for both sides involved honestly. But back then they weren’t called war crimes.” I trailed off as we kept riding until Lewis spoke up again.
“So… the bicycle corps?”
“Right.” I nodded as he reminded me. “So one of the best commandos at the time realized that horses take supplies and are pretty easy to spot, and only certain people could have them since they were expensive. But they also had bikes. So what’s faster and easier than walking 20 miles? Biking 20 miles.”
“It ain’t… fuckin… easy…” Huertas panted from the back which made most of us chuckle again.
“I said easier. Easier doesn’t mean easy. Anyway, that’s Eldon up ahead.” I pointed to the buildings ahead of us a ways. “We’re not far now. But yeah… the Dutch were the first marines, and commandos, and created the first bike corps. They were in limited use for decades. Even in World War 2 the Danish had them and later on the Germans used them as they got pushed back into Germany. In fact the Boer commando who came up with the idea was the great great grandfather of… that one… actress…” My words slowed down as I tried to think of her and glanced over at Felon. “You remember her right?”
He just shrugged as he kept riding. “Colonel I have no idea who might be related to an old Dutch commando.”
I sighed out then and slowly shook my head. “Shit…” Was all I could mutter. “That’s going to bug me.” What was her name? I could picture her… she was in that movie about Australia. Driving that big war truck thing around. Fuck! What was the name of that movie? I was getting too damn old. I let out another sigh and shook my head. “I’ll remember in the middle of the night.” I muttered knowing that it would eventually come to me when it was too late.
“We’re coming up on the junction.” Felon pointed out the slight curve in the road where Highway Y would meet 52. As we got closer I began to slow down without really thinking about it before finally coming to a stop at the intersection and looking to my left for oncoming cars. “Sir are you expecting traffic?” I looked over my shoulder at Felon and then laughed as I started to get riding down the road as we turned right.
“Old habits.” I answered with a shrug. On either side of us snow was piled up around the old abandoned houses. Most of them had Christmas decorations still up from the invasion all those years ago. Up ahead on the right I spotted some of our trucks parked in front of the old dollar store. “You can finally give your dick some rest Huertas.” I called over my shoulder to a wheezing reply.
“Thank Christ!” I chuckled again and looked over to Felon.
“Get them warmed up and fed. I’m heading down the road a bit to the bank across from that… Gas station with the… what was it? Mobster’s pizza?” I was about to continue when I heard Huertas cry out.
“Don’t mention pizza! Fuck! I’d… I’d fuckin… kill… for a big… greasy… pepperoni… fuck.” Felon just shook his head at that.
“With cheese in the crust?”
“Beer! Beer in the crust!” Huertas called back as I frowned.
“How’s the supposed to work?”
“Science! Fuck… I dunno… just… give me… a way… to eat… greasy pizza… and get drunk… at the same time…” He was trying to stand up a bit as he rode now, one hand adjusting his pants as I heard him mutter something about “cojones.”
“Well they won’t have that here.” Felon called back. “Just soy sludge and hot porridge probably. Warm you right up Huertas don’t you worry.” Most of the soldiers pulled off then to stop in the old parking lot of the general store while Lewis and I continued on.
“They used to have a lot of gas stations didn’t they?” Lewis asked as we rode on and I nodded as we past several local places with gas pumps out front. I could see the old sign for McDonalds further down. By now the golden arches had faded to a pale yellow white. There were still some old cars in the parking lot. The snow covering everything but the tops of the windows and their roofs, their paint stripped from years of neglect. Diagonal from the fast food place was the birck building of the bank and there were more of our trucks out front.
Lewis and I rode up onto the sidewalk then and dismounted our bikes, leaning them against the building as we headed inside. Sergeant Jackson nodded to me as we entered and I let out a happy sigh as I saw an oil drum someone had dragged to the middle of the big room and set a fire in. I walked towards it, glancing up at the ceiling to see it was already blackened from the smoke. But without a fireplace or a heater this was simply how we had to keep warm. Rubbing my hands together after removing my gloves I held them up before the fire and looked around.
All the old desks had been removed or shoved to the side and I could see Reed off in the bank’s small vault with a clipboard in hand. We were storing some of our gear and intel around the town until we could get a new camp. The most important stuff would go into bank vaults. Besides Reed there was Jackson and the rest of Bravo scattered around the place. I’m sure some were up on the second floor keeping watch, but only Lewis and I were huddled around the oil drum fire for now. When Reed finally finished with her checklist she walked out of the vault and over to us.
“Sir, have a nice ride through the snow?” She smirked a bit and I gave a snort. Reed was a good officer. I gave her credit for being so professional despite our resistance conditions. I always felt she was a bit too stern and formal with the soldiers though. She was relaxed and casual when it was just me and Lewis but she held very strictly to the old separation of the enlisted from the officers.
“I did, but Sergeant Huertas was having some problems with his seat.” She just shook her head and rolled her eyes before she went on.
“So, we’ve gotten most of our things stashed through the town. You and Alpha were the last to make it down off the mountain. I got word from Piven that the gun bunnies made it to Barnett. His guns are stashed around Rocky Mountain and we’re going to have to hope the aliens don’t find them.” I nodded at that. We barely had time to get out of the Ozarks before the Unity brought in heavy reinforcements so getting the howitzers hooked up and towed would have been nearly impossible.
“What about Hatchet?” I asked and she pointed to a map up on the wall of the area.
“Same as last report. Unity forces are heading northwest from the remains of Fort Sierra to Versailles.” She was about to continue when Lewis spoke up.
“Is that how you say it? I’ve been pronouncing it ver-sails this whole time.” Both Reed and I laughed at that for a moment.
“It’s French.” I informed him and he frowned.
“The French settled there?” He asked and I shook my head. Sometimes I forgot how little history the kids these days knew.
“No it’s just a name. We’ve got a long proud history of stealing names from other places for use here. Like… Paris Texas.”
“West of us is Warsaw.” Reed added. “North up the 87 is California.” I laughed at that.
“Yeah Missouri has Warsaw, Versailles, and California… and… isn’t there a Nevada here too?” I asked and Reed nodded. “Then… Pittsburg?”
“No that’s on the Kansas side.” She mentioned and I nodded.
“Well I know there’s a Moscow Idaho. And Dublin California.” I listed off.
“New York New York Las Vegas Nevada.” Reed added but I just snorted.
“That’s a casino it’s not the same.” She shrugged and then wagged a finger at me.
“But we’ve also got some pretty original names too like Knob Noster.” I laughed as she reminded me about that.
“Oh yes that’s right. Over near Whiteman airforce base… I never did find out what a Noster is or why it has a knob.” I sighed and shook my head slowly before shrugging. “I just hope that it confused the aliens too while they were invading. So back to Hatchet. They’re moving up and away from us even now? Has he been drawing them up?” I asked and Reed shook her head.
“He’s only instigated minor hit and run raids on convoys for supplies but they’ve been scattered all across from 135 to 52.” She pointed at the highways on the map. “And they’re already moving past his position. They’ve got a heavy presence and they’re searching the town itself but they aren’t really stopping for long. Oh and he said you wanted to know about anything unusual? Two nights ago in one of the camps the dogs went… as he phrased it. Nuts.” I arched a brow at that and she handed me the radio transcript.
Hatchet reported that the trained dogs in the camp began acting strangely shortly after sunset. They would growl at the woods but wouldn’t bark and often would try to pull their handlers away from the edge of the camp and closer to the center. In fact all the dogs formed a ring at the center of the camp that night and didn’t sleep but kept an alert and vigilant pose as he put it. Several combat patrols were made that night but no contact was made and no trace of Unity hostiles were found. I shook my head as he described their behavior just like Reed said, as nuts. “That was two nights ago? Nothing since?” She shook her head as I rubbed my chin.
“We haven’t had time to properly interrogate the pilot either. We’ve got her down the street in the Hardee’s freezer.” I glanced up at Reed then and frowned trying to place the name.
“Is that… the Arby’s out here?” I asked and it was Reed’s turn to frown before she realized what I meant and shook her head.
“No, Arby’s is just Arby’s. You’re thinking of Carl’s Junior. I forget sometimes you’re from the west coast.” I just groaned a little and sighed.
“Well damn. Earlier Huertas was talking about greasy pepperoni pizza and now I just made myself think of a big fat ham and cheese sandwich. I guess I’m just hungry. Was Carl’s Junior… Hardee’s the one that had that special that was just a big pile of french fries covered in cheese and bacon?” I asked and heard Lewis groan a little.
“Would you stop with the food? I’m hungry too.” Reed smirked then.
“I can help you two with that problem. Even get you a ham and cheese.” She nodded at me before looking over at Jackson. “Sergeant Jackson. Go get some sandwiches from upstairs.” The Sergeant nodded and headed into the back of the bank to get upstairs as she explained. “We’ve been picking up some goodies from the farms around Jeff. Including ham and cheese.”
I was feeling greedy and couldn’t stop myself before asking. “What kind of bread?”
“Rye I think.” I got my hopes up for a moment. “Just the light one. Not marbled.” I let out a disappointed grunt and shrugged.
“I really shouldn’t get my hopes up. But one day. One day I swear I will have a Reuben again.” Reed chuckled as I said that.
“For a west coast boy you always go on about Reubens. You sure you’re not from New York?” I scoffed as she asked that.
“You act like marbled rye and pastrami is somehow exclusive to the east coast, when they got it from eastern Europe so really you’re just denying yourself the culinary splendor that makes up America.” She smirked at that. “Anyway it’s about where you find it. We moved around a lot when I was a kid but I always could find a Jewish or Russian deli with good rye bread. It was so much more flavorful than that enriched white bread crap in the stores.” I thought it over for a moment then and shrugged. “But I guess now all bread has to be pretty fresh. Not like I can just walk into a supermarket and pick up a loaf of Wonder bread.”
“The Unity provisioning centers usually have some form of bread.” Lewis mentioned. “But… I don’t think I ever got anything that wasn’t a few days old and pretty stale.
“Well you’re in for a treat today.” Reed mentioned as Jackson came back out with a brown paper bag. He opened it up and handed me a hot sandwich wrapped in deli paper and I couldn’t help but let out a soft groan.
“Oh it’s hot… Just what I needed after riding 10 miles uphill through the snow.” I started to unwrap my sandwich as Lewis chimed in.
“Sir, it was actually more like 5 miles downhill.” I just glanced over at him while he unwrapped his own sandwich until I caught his attention and he looked at me.
“Lewis, would you like to go back outside in the cold Missouri winter and ride 5 miles uphill and then 5 miles back down? Or would you like to just agree with your commanding officer and eat a hot ham and cheese sandwich?” He stared back at me for a few seconds before quickly raising his sandwich to take a large bite, as if I was about to take it from him. “That’s what I thought.” Was all I said and looked down at my meal. It was warm but not really toasted. Not like I cared. Light rye, thick slabs of ham, and also thick slices of what looked like very pale yellow cheddar. Without mass production and consumer demand cheese had stopped being orange.
As I took a bite I kept it small, not wanting to eat too fast or choke on a big chunk. But I nearly went back on that idea as I could taste how damn fresh it all was. One of the benefits of getting supplies from the local farms.Which made me pause for a moment. But I kept chewing and swallowed before speaking. “How did they get fresh rye at this time of year? It’s late December and there’s no crops growing.” I looked at Reed who frowned and then shrugged.
“I’m… not sure? I’m sure they had some stored away for the bread.” I thought that over for a moment as I looked at my sandwich.
I glanced at Lewis who was still chomping down big mouthfulls of sandwich, then Jackson past him. “Did you have one?” He nodded.
“Yes, sir. Why?”
I looked back to Reed. “Did anyone get sick?” She looked confused and shook her head. “No? Is this a trustworthy farm?” Switching back over I saw Jackson who seemed to catch on.
“Yes, sir it is. They’ve always been good about providing supplies for the resistance. I know the rye crop is over but it’s just a grain. I’m sure they had some stored away for bread like this.” I nodded slowly and then shrugged before dismissing that thought.
“Just an old man being paranoid I guess. Lord knows I’m no farmer.” I sighed as I realized that a life of being a spy master had corrupted me permanently and this was just one of the more minor ways. I went back to taking small manageable bites of my sandwich and then had to keep from spitting some out when I looked over to see Lewis with his cheeks bulging. I choked down my current bite and spoke. “I had no idea you were this hungry Lewis.”
When he looked at me he just tried to say something but all I could hear was a muffled collection of sounds that meant nothing to me. “Well try not to choke to death. I’d hate to train a new orderly.” I looked past Jackson and nodded at him. “More in the bag?”
“Yes, sir. I was warming them up to take over to the guards at the Hardees. Got a thermos of hot soy sludge in there too.” I reached out for the bag then which he handed over.
“I’ll take it over. I need to talk to the prisoner anyway.” Jackson nodded and began to head for the door when I spoke again. “I didn’t ask for an escort sergeant.” He looked back at me then seeming surprised.
“You should have an escort sir. We’re not in a secure camp.” I snorted at that.
“The nearest Unity forces are supposed to be miles away. And we’re in the center of Eldon. We have sentinels on all the roads. You think I’m in danger walking… what, 200 feet?” The Sergeant shrugged.
“I still think you should have an escort sir.” I glanced over at Reed who shrugged so I then copied the movement and shrugged as well.
“Doesn’t hurt I guess. I must really be showing my age for a young man to offer and help me cross the road.” I smiled and he did as well but the lack of laughter cut a bit deeper than I’d figured it would. We headed outside and I shivered a little at the change in temperature once we were outside. “Did you want to talk to me in private? Is that why you felt the need to escort me?” I asked but the sergeant just glanced over and shook his head. Was I really looking that old and feeble these days? I just rode a bike five miles through snowy roads… I shrugged it off then and kept walking.
The old fast food place was ahead of us past yet another gas station. The once bright and colorful signs faded and worn. I could barely make out a sign about some sort of new hamburger with ham on it and snorted a little. One of Jackson’s men nodded to us from the window as we walked around the structure to the entrance. Inside it was still pretty cold, but not nearly as bad as outside. One of them had a fire going inside one of the ovens.
“Brought you guys some chow.” I mentioned and the soldiers approached, thanking me as I handed out the still warm sandwiches followed by the thermos. I took another few bites of my sandwich as I waited for them each to get a cup full of hot soy sludge and then took the thermos as they handed it back. “The prisoner talkative?”
“Lizzie? She answers questions. Doesn’t venture much on her own except complaints.” One of the soldiers answered me. A corporal based on the smiley face patches on his gear. Just how did that start again? I wish I could remember. How much could I not remember today? I frowned a little and tried to clear my head as something caught up with my brain.
“Lizzie? You guys named her Lizzie? As in… Lizzie the lizard?” I asked and they chuckled.
“That’s her name. It’s on her documents.” Jackson informed me.
“She named herself Lizzie?” I asked then and he shrugged.
“Someone named her Lizzie. That’s all I know for sure.” That made me think for a minute as I just shifted and shook my head.
“See this is why I don’t trust the Isoren. Bregnan have names that sound like you’re coughing up phlegm. The Rekanta don’t even have real names that I can tell. They just have their rank and then a number. But Isoren? They have suspiciously human names. I don’t like it.” I shrugged then and headed to the back of the restaurant. The freezer was pretty easy to spot, as was the icepick they were using to keep it locked shut. I removed the ice pick from the handle and opened it up.
Inside was our captured alien pilot. The reptile was bundled up in thermals and a parka, and ski pants and was still shivering visibly when I saw her. She was just standing in the middle of the room shivering and clutching herself in the cold. “Oh hell you look like a popsicle. Come out here.” I waved her forward and the alien quickly stepped out and then feeling the heat from the oven stood in front of it close enough that I thought she might burn herself on it but clearly the alien wanted the heat.
I stepped into the freezer then and noticed it was about as cold as the outside. “Ah right even without power it’s insulated. Probably kept all the heat from the oven out. Sorry about that. I’m the one who told my men to keep you someplace secure. But that’s not necessary now.” I mentioned and closed the freezer door. I glanced over at Jackson and his men clustered around the old counter as I waved them away to give me and the alien some space.
Jackson nodded and motioned for his men to head closer to the front of the seating area. I handed the thermos to Lizzie then. “Soy sludge.” I said simply and she unfastened the cap so quick I thought she might have just ripped it off before she tilted her head back and started to chug it down. I was about to reach out and try to stop her as I saw the steam coming off the dark liquid but even as I heard her whimper she kept drinking until it was all gone. After that she was shivering less but handed the thermos back, her tongue hanging out a bit as she looked to be in pain.
“Burn your tongue?” She nodded at my question and I just sighed. “Wait here.” I set the sandwich bag on the counter along with my own sandwich and walked outside, scooping up a bit of what looked to be clean snow and walked back inside to press it into her hand. “Suck on some of this.”
The alien looked at the snow as if she’d never dealt with it before. Perhaps she hadn’t. Then she put some in her mouth and we stood there in silence as she seemed to work it around before nodding. “Maybe not burn… just felt very hot.”
“Well I’m sure with how you were shivering in there it’s a hell of a temperature difference to suddenly chug hot sludge like that. Are you hungry?” She nodded then and I was about to tear my sandwich in half when I paused. “Can you eat cheese? Dairy?”
She nodded to that as well. “Given treatment after conquest. Is good source for fat. Need more fat. Cold planet.” I smirked a bit at that and finished tearing my sandwich apart to hand her half. She glanced at it, then me and I took a bite of mine before she began to eat what I’d given her. Once more we just stood there, but now we quietly ate our sandwiches. She finished hers first and waited for me to finish before speaking again. “You said needed to be keep secure. No longer?”
“Well, you’re still our prisoner. But your friends didn’t come looking for you like I thought they would. Hell they didn’t even slow down. They just raced off chasing that Chimera of yours.” She eyed me carefully and I knew she didn’t want to talk about that stuff but I was no longer interested in the fast and sloppy route. “Still hungry?” I asked and she looked a bit confused but nodded once more.
I walked back to the counter for the sandwich bag, just one left so I pulled it out and crumpled up the paper bag they’d been in. I tore it in half just like the other and then reached out with half in either hand. “Which one?” I asked and she hesitantly reached for the one in my left. So she favored her right. I was curious if aliens were lefties or righties and so far I’d seen they were mostly righties. The Bregnan at any rate. I wondered if that meant anything.
This time as she ate I spoke. “Do you have any special dietary needs? We take multi-vitamins to make up for certain deficiencies in what food we can get. I can show you what’s in them. I’m not very familiar with Isoren diet.” The alien pilot studied me carefully and shook her head slowly as she chewed, then swallowed before speaking up.
“No… should be fine with human food. Maybe more… mmhhh… plants?”
“Vegetables and fruit?” I ventured which made her nod. “They’re not as easy to come by in the winter. Hence the vitamins. We’ve got lots of those. Before the invasion people were concerned about eating healthy. We had so much food to eat most of it was very tasty but bad for our health in large amounts. But since it tasted so much better we kept eating it.” I chuckled a little but watched the alien to see if there was any reaction.
“This I was told. Seems so strange… before we get too heavy. Too… mmhh.. Fat. They reduce rations. Why did you not simply reduce rations?” That was interesting. So a pilot had rations? The Unity wasn’t starving. Military habit? I’d find out in time.
“We were free to eat what we wanted. We were successful enough to get fruits and vegetables in any season. But… not any more.” I shrugged. “We’ll see if you can take our multi-vitamins.”
She watched me as she ate a bit more of the sandwich and I took a bite of my half, waiting for her to initiate this time. “So… I am prisoner. But you share food with me? You do not bind me?” I nodded at that. “This is… not as I was told.”
“Have you been treated alright?” I asked then.
“Cold… coldest in that… room.” She nodded past me at the freezer. “But past few nights… not hurt. Fed when able… allowed to wear warmth.” She touched the front of her parka with her free hand. “I thought… maybe just waiting until done running. Thought that room was start. A room to freeze me if I did not talk. But you say mistake?” I nodded.
“Just a simple mistake. I told them to keep you secure. And that room is very secure. It’s just… also cold.” I shrugged.
“I thought… punishment. For not answering questions.” I looked over at Jackson and the other three sitting in one of the old booths up front, talking and drinking their cups of soy sludge.
“Did they ask you questions?” When I glanced back at the alien she was shaking her head.
“No.”
“So… why would we be punishing you for not answering questions we didn’t ask you?” The pilot frowned at that and slowly shrugged. I was curious if shrugging like that was natural to them or learned from us. “Well, no more cold rooms. Soon we’ll move to the houses for the day. Not sure how long we’ll be here. If you keep behaving things should go pretty smooth. Then maybe we can send you home when the fighting dies down.” I shrugged and tried to seem non committal but the alien seemed confused.
“Not here now to… barbecue me for information?” I frowned at that and then laughed.
“Grill you? No. No I wanted to make sure you were fed and doing alright. I’ll have questions later. I don’t know much about the Isoren. All the Unity says is you’re faithful servants. Like the Bregnan.” I made sure not to smile when the alien let out a hiss.
“Not like them! They are brutes! No manners! Too aggressive. We are better. More useful. More civilized.” I raised my hands then.
“Hey that’s only what we heard from the Unity. They don’t tell us much.” She got quiet at that and seemed thoughtful. “I’ll talk with you later Lizzie.”
“Wait… that is all? No… questions about Chimera?” She asked and I shook my head.
“Nope. It’s moved on. I’m more interested in you. Your kind. If you need something let them know.” I pointed to the soldiers up front. “If you get cold where they set up for the day tell them. They’ll find you more blankets, or get a fire going. Just tell them.” I nodded and turned to leave, motioning for Jackson who got up from the booth to walk over to me. I stepped outside with him before talking. “You trust your men to watch her?”
He nodded. “Yes sir I do.”
“Good. Tell them to keep a light touch with this one. Treat her well. Be gentle but firm. She can’t just wander off but don’t tie her down. Keep someone up at all times at night to make sure she doesn’t escape but no interrogation, no mistreatment. They’re free to talk to her. But simple questions only. Nothing about Unity forces or their military. Okay?” He nodded once more and I gave his shoulder a pat as he headed back inside to talk to his men.
While he was in there I briefly considered heading back to the bank on my own without him as an escort but figured I’d just wait. Didn’t make sense to possibly annoy him over something so trivial. When he came back outside we went crunching back through the snow towards the bank. “How was the fight for the supermarket crossroads back at Fort Sierra?” I asked then, realizing I hadn’t done much after action work yet since I’d been so busy with the evacuation and then hiding in the woods.
“Surprisingly easy sir. By the time they started to retreat we were well entrenched and Zeus just moved the barrage up along their path. Did we ever get a final count of the hostiles sir?” I shook my head at that.
“No we were moving out of there too quick. Best guess is around a buck twenty.”
“What about our own casualties sir?” That made me sigh softly. Besides hiding out in the woods these last few days I’d also been carving stars into rocks to honor our dead.
“We got off light. Final count was 34 dead. About the same seriously wounded. We caught them by surprise and hit them hard as we could. You know as well as I how poorly the Bregnan do in an ambush. Especially when they’re outnumbered. Their only instinct is to charge. They’re too used to having the upper hand.” He nodded at that. We’d seen them charge head first into kill zones. The Bregnan were not tacticians. They were bred to charge it seemed. So charge they did.
“Sort of sucks to think that even if we always could kill them three to one there might not be enough of us left.” I nodded as he said that. It was a sobering thought. As we approached the bank I saw a third bike stacked next to mine and Lewis’. When we headed inside it wasn’t much of a mystery to see who it belonged to.
“Master Sergeant Felon. Has Sergeant Huertas’ ass managed to recover from his earlier ordeal?” I asked as Felon laughed.
“Yes, sir I do believe he has. At least enough to stop complaining and start eating.” I smirked at that and nodded. “Either way sir I found us a house Lewis, you, and I can camp out in today.” I nodded at that. Felon was more or less my bodyguard when he wasn’t commanding Alpha.
“Alright well let's go take a look then. Major Reed has he told you where we’ll be?” I looked past him at the Major and she nodded.
“It’s down the street a bit. Not too far at all. If I need you or hear anything I’ll send someone down. Plus Lewis has his radio if things require breaking radio silence.” I nodded then and motioned for Lewis who tipped a cup he was holding up to his mouth to quickly gulp the contents before he stepped back outside with Felon and me. Felon got his bike but was just walking it rather than riding it.
“The snow down the street makes it a bit too hard to ride. We didn’t want to drive our trucks further into town in case a Unity patrol rolls down the highway. It’s not too bad though just a few blocks. I’m sure you’ll love it sir. You’ll fit right in.” I frowned as he said that and tried to think about what was down this road.
“You’re not trying to take me to the funeral home are you?” I asked which made him laugh.
“No sir. You’re not dead yet are you?”
“I most certainly am not. Sergeant Jackson thought I looked so old and frail though he did walk me down the street.” I let out a grumpy harumph which made Felon laugh again while we walked our bikes along the old snow covered street. I looked around as we walked along. Past an old church, then a career center, then a fire station, then another church. Looking back I never understood why we had so many churches. Then again why did we have so many gas stations? Everyone liked their own particular brand I guess.
We passed the funeral home and I glanced over at Felon. “We’ve passed a few houses Felon. Where are we going?”
“Just up ahead. Across from that boat.” When he pointed I squinted to see a boat sticking up out of the snow half a block up. It looked like at one point it had been covered in a tarp but the tarp was torn to shreds and the boat itself didn’t look much better. When I saw the house we were approaching I scoffed a little, looking up at it.
“Did you just find the biggest fanciest house in the area?” I asked as I looked up at the big columns out front and the Christmas decorations littered all over the place.
“Yes, Sir I did. I figure the nicer houses are built better. Besides it’s got a fireplace.” He pointed to the chimney.
“They’ve all got fireplaces.” I replied as I waved my arm around the neighborhood. But either way we were soon walking up the path past the little statue in the front yard sticking up out of the snow and up the brick steps to the front door. I knocked and the other two just stared at me for a moment as I sighed. “Old habits.” I repeated again and tried the door which opened with a loud ominous horror movie creak. But inside was dark and quiet.
“Anyone home?” I called out but got no reply so I knocked my boots against the door frame to try and knock most of the snow off and stepped inside. To the right in the corner was the skeletal remains of a Christmas tree. I sighed heavily as I saw the presents arrayed around the bottom. Still wrapped, but now covered in dust and dead Christmas tree.
“You always call that out when we enter an old house like this.” Felon mentioned as he stepped past me. “Has anyone ever answered?”
“Not yet.” I replied with a shrug.
“Look at this one.” Lewis pointed at one of the presents which was very sloppily wrapped. Whoever had covered it looked like they’d used one giant piece and just wrapped the boxy contents in it, folding it at odd angles and using a giant piece of tape to hold it all in place. Felon picked it up.
“Ah shit… it’s just made out to dad.” I shook my head slowly then as I walked further into the house, glancing at the pictures at the walls. The people were smiling and happy. Were any of them still alive?
“Open it.” Lewis was saying behind me.
“What?”
“Open it. They clearly aren’t coming back for it.” I heard the tearing of wrapper paper followed by Felon’s surprised gasp.
“No way!” I looked back and frowned as I tried to see what the box was he had in his hands. “It’s the complete blu-ray set! The original trilogy, the prequels, and the new stuff! Look!” He held the box out towards me. “It’s the one with the unmolested original trilogy at that!” I arched a brow as I tried to piece that together.
“Unmolested?”
“Yeah you know, like it was originally aired! Without all that bullshit CGI stuff they added later. Thanks George.” He muttered that last phrase sarcastically.
“Are the stand alones on there?” I asked but he shook his head.
“Nah just the core.”
“Well it’s still not a bad find.” I replied before seeing Lewis’ confused face. “Wait… you’ve got no idea what we’re talking about do you?” He just shrugged and I began to look around. “Leo see if the power still works. Lets find the TV. Lewis here hasn’t seen this glorious masterpiece of science fantasy before! We need to correct that.” Felon snapped off a salute to that.
“Sir yes sir!” He said before heading deeper into the house, the boxset held tight in his hands as if he was afraid he’d lose it.
“Lewis head back up to the general store and requisition us snacks. Lots and lots of snacks. You’ve got…” I tried to do some mental math. “Somewhere between 18 and 24 hours of movies for us to get through.”
“What?” He stood there looking even more confused at me. “But… aren’t you worried about Unity or… planning our next move or something?” I was about to reply when there was a loud clack from somewhere in the back and the lights flickered to life around us. So I just lifted my hands to the ceiling,
“It’s Christmas Lewis and we’ve just been handed a miracle! So go get some food and prepare yourself for a spectacle of Hollywood entertainment! You’ve missed out on some of our finest cinema! It’s time to correct that and show you some of what we’re fighting for!” He snorted at that.
“Movies? I think fighting for our freedom is pretty damn important sir.”
“It most certainly is. And that includes our freedom to make movies! So get.” I waved him out the door and then went to find Felon and the house’s TV. I knew I was being a bit selfish, especially with Unity forces just a few miles down the road. But if they headed our way Reed would warn me. And I couldn’t remember the last time I’d sat down and just watched a movie. Maybe this Christmas wasn’t going to be so bad.
