Overall, Major Daniels was pleased with the result of his impromptu visit to Barnes—the president was now aware that while Pruitt was whining about all the problems he was having in Northern California, Daniels was getting his job done, ahead of schedule, in the south. The rumors travelling Army circles about the disappearance of Sergeant Major Peterson suggested that Barnes wouldn’t tolerate incompetence or disloyalty, and Daniels believed that it wouldn’t be long before the president recognized the utter worthlessness of Pruitt and the value of uniting California under one territorial commander. When California is mine, Daniels thought to himself as the Blackhawk taking him to his main forward operating base landed, I’ll be living in my own palace, and I’ll be more valuable to Barnes than Peterson ever was. I’ll suck up as long as we’re playing by Barnes’ rules, but something is seriously off about that guy.

He stopped thinking about his leader’s peculiarities when a fresh-faced lieutenant met him on the landing pad. The youngster saluted as he shouted, “Welcome to Camp Daniels, sir!”

The major casually returned the salute and smiled. “Well, son, I’m honored to have a staging area for hundreds of thousands of eaters and uncountable piles of cattle manure named after me.”

Daniels nodded. “Lunch can wait; I want to see how you’re managing a quarter of a million eaters—we’ll start out at Pen One.”

“I wouldn’t recommend that, sir,” the pretty young sergeant interjected. “It’s not a secure area.”

Daniels was irritated that an underling would question his orders, but he bit his tongue and took a closer look at the young woman. She was wearing a complete set of the Army’s best body armor, with a short sword attached, as well as an assortment of daggers and a wicked-looking hatchet. He found the ensemble unusually stimulating and decided to turn on the charm. “I appreciate your warning, Sergeant, but I’d never ask my soldiers to do anything I’m not prepared to do myself. And if there’s trouble, I need to know exactly what’s going on.” He paused for dramatic effect. “My orders stand; I need to see Pen One.”
