Uhh....

DRMA - They were on that donor-list? Holy shit. This is an "aid agency" - I use that term very loosely, note the quotation marks - that works in the Kashmir province. Let me look into that one. That's odd.

MERC - Translating the translation of the acronym, 'Mutants for the Rise of Racial Coequality'. Political action group in North Africa, based out of Algeria. Do I need to give you a Google-tutorial?

TRI - I don't think that's an acronym. Huh. Something about that in this context is tweaking my memory... let me get back to you on that one.

RUEL - I'll be damned if I know. From the donor-list again?

DRMA does a fairly efficient job at supplying food aid, but they also serve as information sources for the Indian government. The Pack's been in Kashmir a number of times over the last few years and we saw a number of villages with militant affiliations get visits first from DRMA and then from government troops. I don't think I really need to go into what happened next. Why they'd be on that donor-list, though... obviously what I know of them is out-of-date, I'll have to make a few phone calls.

MERC - You haven't got Google set right or something. I know MERC has a website.

TRI, Tri... I'm wondering if that's a typo or something. It's driving me nuts that I can't remember but I'm positive that's not an acronym.

Still stuck on RUEL.

But a donor list. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Okay, so I'll add that to my list of five million things to research further. Are you sure you don't have Jamie's power and just never told anyone? Because that would be really useful.

MERC - Check your language preference. Barring that, it might just be signal-to-noise - too many results. It's not exactly an uncommon combination of letters. After all, I am an ex-MERC, am I not? Hah.

As for TRI/Tri, if I wasn't up to my ears in stuff to do here I swear I'd go meditate. Gah. And now Rachel's crying.

I'll try it up here, too.

No, I had a coping failure last night and that's all I'm allowed for the month. Year. I'm not sure what Moira and I agreed on, I kind of had a migraine.

But thank you.
