If Hawaii is still intact - thanks SO much for not mentioning that to me until today,
btw - then we have a State Governor, unless he was -away- for some reason?

Good news on that front, at least.
As far as pay for the sailors goes, I've yanked open the GOTH stash here and
am preparing to begin converting it to cash. Colonel Caldwell, Captain Dodge,
can you get in touch with the CO down there and get me a budget estimate?
I should have enough gold, platinum, and various rare earth metals on hand
to keep things going for a couple of months, at least, and I'm stepping up mining
efforts in the Belt to bring in more.
Re: RockDrops. I feel confident that our USMil associates have things well in hand
on that front; they will be coordinating with Mr. Scott on the demonstration strike.

If you think my people aren't interested in doing everything possible to assist in this,
you're nuts, Noah. Replace "they" with "all of us".
I'm recalling a fair chunk of the GSS from the belt in prep for offensive operations.
I plan to /offend/ me some Confederates.
