Alice looks around in confusion and slight disappointment.
Huh? Where's the humans we are going to eat? Where did they go? Are they hiding under the floor tiles?

Alice waits for Yulya to look for traps one more time and then goes exploring. She checks the floor for secret rooms, the waterwheel shaft and the contents of all boxes and barrels.
Oh, toxic explosive compound! My favorite!
And Dwarven Ale!
Cat, cook us something that goes well with ale!

Alice helps herself to some ale and tastes it.



Alice has no objections to resting here while Ashley gets the elevator.
We'll barricade the door. When you return, knock exactly five times! Any other amount of knocks will let us know it's not you or that something is off.

Of course this isn't all just for fun, I have to assume what's going on here is preparation for war. We need to expel the sleeper cells and enemy combatants while we shore up our manufacturing and clear up all other wars. There is a lot being done very quickly, I don't think Trump, a 2nd term president, would do all this just to prove a legacy, that's his bonus, the meat of what we need to do is of course war. It all points to that anyway, not to mention the inside information that I had from two years ago. A choice had to be made, either we're with China or against them. If we're with them, they would eventually overtake us and subjugate us by many means, winning the war without firing a shot. Biden wanted to go this route. He was bought and paid for.

Apparently negotiations failed with Trump, and he's on a war path, no doubt about that. I'm not too old to join if it comes to that, though I'd be an officer and a specialist.

Anyway, gotta clean house first, get our ducks in a row, Greenland is worthless as is, we would need to arm it, that'll take time. 2027 is the goal as far as I think anyway. Anything can happen though of course.

The bulettes when Alice enters the room:

Real shit!

Wrong friggen picture

I'm sure the room is filled to the brim with hungry bulettes
