Operation Apple Grab

Though I have lost interest in blogging for the time being, I feel recent events have warranted a post. Some of the details of of what's happened have been discussed in *insert subplot here*, my girldfriend's blog. Hereonafter, and in the interest of confidentiality, the rest of this post will be in military-ese. For the unindoctrinated, none of this is as serious as it sounds:

Resue Mission A: (2006/01/07)
After logistically ascertaining whereabouts of Apple, operatives Mongrel and Biku travelled to said location at apprximately 17:00 hours. Actual location, which is to remain strictly confidential, will hereafter be referred to as "Northern Compound". Previous to this, operative Mongrel had procurred locus for reployment of Apple, which will be referred to hereafter as "Homemaker".
Upon arrival at Northern Compound at approximately 18:00 hours, operatives Mongrel and Biku entered the facility under heavy trepidation. After failing to ascertain the exact whereabouts of Apple, said operatives entered into negotiations with Northern Compound. Negotiations proved to be ineffectual, and said operatives were forced to withdraw without procuring Apple - who is, in effect, a hostage.
While operatives failed to complete the mission, negotiations with Northern Compound revealed the relative good health and good prospects of hostage Apple - warranting future resue missions.

Resue Mission B: (date not slated)
Mission B involves enlisting of one of two mercenary operatives. Depending on appropriateness and availability, either one of two operatives will be used undercover to procure hostage Apple from Northern Compound. Selected were operative "Thespian" and operative "Carrot Top". Successful completion of this mission completes Operation Apple Grab and permits the execution of the subsequent 'Reployment' mission.

Reployment Mission A: "Homemaker"
While other possibilities exist, in all likelihood, Apple (formerly hostage Apple) will be delivered to Homemaker - which all parties involved in mission have decided as the best course of action.
