This is either the best misdirection play I've ever seen or I better start lawyering up.

Excerpt from Klcarroll's personal War Diary:
The Ruptured Duck arrived on station this morning, and we are currently patrolling the only deep water approach to El Dorado. The EIN (El Dorado Imperial Navy) and all commercial shipping must get past us to get into their only deep water port.
So far we have encountered only three elements of the El Dorado Navy: ....A DD, an Armed Trawler, and a Flower Class Corvette (later identified as the EIN PANSY). The DD and the Trawler were sunk with a single torpedo each.
We're carrying the "Socko Modified"¯ 2nd generation T-5 torpedoes, and I have to say that the performance was impressive. They appeared to be virtually "un-shakable"¯, and the explosion on impact was massive enough to lift the ships out of the water, snapping them in half.
Socko had mixed feelings about the torpedo performance: ....He seemed pleased with the effectiveness, but was profoundly disappointed that the ships sank too quickly for any lifeboats to be successfully launched. He played a game he calls "20mm Whack-A-Mole"¯ with the few swimmers, but quickly lost interest when they refused to come back up to play again.
When we encountered the Flower, he insisted on surfacing and sinking it with 20mm fire, rather than "wasting"¯ another torpedo. He seemed to be in better spirits after that.
Late in the afternoon, an EIN flying boat tried us, but once again, Socko's expertise with the 20mm dominated the encounter: .....after one badly aimed bomb run, the flying boat ran for home, smoking badly. Socko's only comment was; "The Flyboys are probably worried that they're going to miss Happy Hour at the Officer's Club."¯
Kapitänleutnant Shwanz is a capable commander, although some of his methods seem a bit "unusual"¯. Today, for example, he told me that he was assigning all crew members additional duty "to keep moral high"¯: ......And it certainly seemed to work; .....as the crew was giggling and guffawing for the balance of the day. I later determined that the "additional duty"¯ involved all personnel attending the Chief Engineer in shifts for a "refresher briefing"¯ on the operation and maintenance of the Nitrous Oxide Injection System.
Once darkness had fallen, and the giggling had died down to an occasional chuckle, Kapitänleutnant Shwanz brought the boat to within two miles of the beach, so that we could land the two "operatives"¯ we were instructed to insert. We stood on the bridge watching them paddle for shore, silhouetted against the neon glow from "Rosie's"¯, and the beach bonfires that marked where the hostile sentries were drinking themselves into a stupor.
Between our blockade, and the High Level Diplomatic Efforts headed by RJ, even the most fanatic individuals in the El Dorado government should "see the light"¯ shortly. While El Dorado does produce its own Rum, and is self-sufficient in that area, it is utterly dependent on imports for other strategic materials like "little paper cocktail umbrellas"¯. When the inevitable shortages occur, the resistance will crumble.
In spite of the fact that our purpose here is to force a conclusion to the hostilities, Socko has openly stated; "I hope the Nancys decide to fight it out! .....That would make the trip worthwhile!
He has also been heard muttering something about establishing a place called "Sockoland"¯ somewhere.

The previous post only confirms what we have long suspected, the Ubi Moderators are clueless. They don't realize that before we embarked on our El Dorado adventure, we spent a good 10 or 15 minutes making plans to counter Ubi's expected response.
Among his administrative duties, the Company Clerk is also in charge of civil defense and emergency preparadness.
Like most countries, we have a strategic reserve of supplies and materials to maintain our normal way of life
Nothing has been left to chance
Our naval forces regularly deploy to the South Pole to bring back ice
Should it become necessary, we are prepared to operate food kitchens to feed the masses
And if necessary, we have also planned to bring in supplies from unexpected locations
Even the needs of the ladies will be met
....But only by the UBI Moderators, once order has been restored.
You weak-willed, complacent, morally corrupt moderators are going to have to do better than this to have an impact.
Resistence is futile, give up now while you still have a chance.

Not really: ....We have infiltrated your island, stolen your women, and are working at drinking all your booze! ......What else is there????</span>

El Dorado Rangers patrol the badlands looking for infiltrating moderators.......
Known for their 'shoot first-talk later' attitude this posse is sure to get results in pinning down the moderator problem....
.....but the infiltrators the "Pink Posse" are looking for are already "in country"; .....and they appear to be more than a match for the El Dorado patrols........
