Great, you groan, and you thought things would be <span class="mu-i">easier</span> once you took down all those <span class="mu-r">LIEUTENANTS…</span>
“As did we.” Christy responds with an apologetic smile. “For what it’s worth, though, your exploits as well as <span class="mu-g">PONDEROSA’S</span> have inspired many refugees to take action. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.”

“His was one of the first teams to begin scouting.” She responds, running a gloved hand through her red hair. “Though his group managed to rescue quite a few survivors, a lot of them were lost in transit thanks to attacks on the road according to their reports. Clearly more patrolling bodies were required.”
Yea, you huff, it’s a friggin’ <span class="mu-i">warzone</span> out there! Explains why that dope has a friggin’ convoy with him, too!
“Yes, he specifically requested it before the <span class="mu-r">CAPTAIN MENDOZA</span> mission.” She nods. “There were far less civilian casualties after that, as well–a good decision all around.” The conversation pauses while she types in an addendum:

HA!
