We’re Not What
You Think We Are
UN Intelligence:
Detachment Gamma
"Sure. You’ve got the Valkyrie pilots out there, flying those
fabulous planes and generally kicking some ass. But they come
from ships, like the UNS Etrakis and those ships are staffed
by hundreds, even thousands of enlisted personnel and officers,
all capable of unleashing the gates of Hell itself if necessary
to achieve a certain goal. Again, a good group of people doing
their jobs and doing it well. And, of course, you have the Marines
who are fanatic about, well, among other things about being Marines,
but they also do a pretty good job of blowing the fuck out of
whatever target happens to be needing it at any given time.
"But how do those ships, with their Valkyrie pilots, staffed
with those enlisted personnel and officers, all primed to unleash
all of that firepower and also ready to send in those Marines,
tell me, how the hell do they know where to go and what to do
and what to fire at? A little fairy doesn’t come and whisper in
some Admiral’s fucking ear, that’s for damn sure. It doesn't come
to some general in a vision. No. The answer to that question,
dear sir, is us.
"Call us '‘advanced recon' or 'forward elements' or 'spec
ops' or whatever the fuck you want to call us to help you feel
better at night. We sure as hell don’t care, but you better not
call us a fucking oxymoron. Because without UN Intelligence, all
of that firepower, all of those people on board those ships holding
the collective leash of those roughnecks, it's all wasted without
a fucking target. Information, dear sir, is the biggest and the
best fucking weapon you can have and we're the ones who get that
for you."
