Two days and then there will be a gap in this blog. Hopefully it will only be for one or two days and then I will have my equipment back up. This will be a fun move filled with mysteries and old ghosts as I move into an old hotel with much history attached. I hope you will come back and explore the hotel with me. It is the Ritz of Atlantic City and is the focal building in the HBO series, "Boardwalk Empire." Nucky Thompson, Al Capone, and Lucky Luciano, have lived and done their business there, as well as many other mafia and political leaders. I am personally so excited by the move that I can hardly breathe.
Today, we find Bond Boyd pushing to move on and capture the Emon and Voun slave camp, two miles away from the Wale's death camp.
THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor...Chapter Twenty
Bond gathered the remaining Special Forces soldiers, and Gog's soldiers, and set them to digging a vast trench in which to bury the dead bodies of the Wale martyrs.
By 8:00 p.m., all of the barracks had been entered and all of the Wale prisoners had been washed, dressed, fed sugar beets on the hour and were eating fish and kelp soup.
It took most of the Special Forces units to care for the Wale prisoners, and every one of Gog's soldiers to clean up the camp. It appeared that only 1,000 prisoners were able to walk by themselves. There were 1,200 prisoners who had died and had to be removed from the barracks; they had been taken out of the barracks and placed in the new trench. The remaining 7,800 Wales, would need several weeks of rehabilitation before they would be able to return to their homes.
Bond wanted to attack the labor camps where the Voun and Emon prisoners were kept, in slightly better conditions, but still starving and worn out physically.
The crematoriums had been shut down the first night of the Special Forces attack on the internment camp and Bond had assigned a unit of the Special Forces to tear them down brick by brick.
On the third day of the invasion of the internment camp, Bond gathered a sharpshooters division of 1,000 Special Forces soldiers and marched them two miles to the labor camp. There, Gog's soldiers waved a white flag and gave the camp over to Bond without a fight.
Bond walked around the camp, and saw the same overflowing bucket-latrines, the same prisoners who could hardly walk, and the same extreme emaciation of the prisoner's bodies. He learned that the same rules apply here as in the internment camp, that if you could work you received watered-down cabbage soup and a small piece of bread once a day, but if you couldn't work, you didn't eat at all. Usually there were not too many non-workers in the labor camps as the tendency was to shoot a man if he began to shuffle instead of walk.
Bond set up 26 tables, in alphabetical order, and had the prisoners line up in front of the table that represented the first letter of their last names.
Each prisoner gave a soldier at their table their name and where they lived. They also named friends who they knew had been killed or had died from starvation or other causes.
Bond thought, "Gog had often contemplated the removal of everyone who wasn't a Selve from Kor. You'd think, that being a good businessman, he would treat slaves with unusual care, but-as is so often the truth-he treated them with abysmal cruelty; as though they were worth less than dirt. What kind of business logic is that?"
Bond had brought food and sugar beets with him, and he got soldiers busy in the kitchen cooking sugar beets and fixing the fish and kelp soup.
They were expecting fresh vegetables, fruit, and breads from Lieutenant Ted Stars and the Walean people any day now, but for now the soup and the sugar beets were relieving the slaves' pain and strengthening their immune systems.
Bond radioed Lieutenant Sorn Brandts and asked him to send the six women over to evaluate the slave Vouns and Emons.
No one said their burden was too great. The soldiers nursing the Wales were up for double duty. These Special Forces soldiers nursed their Walean patients in the morning, and their Voun and Emon patients in the afternoon. They set up some of the kinder of Gog's soldiers as people feeders. They would go from one person to the next, feeding them and making them comfortable in their beds. Lieutenant Brandts noted the 200 of Gog's men who were able to do this compassionate duty and kept them in mind for future leniencies.
Gog's soldiers were not at all sure that their lives would go on from here. They knew that they would not have given anyone else a chance at life, so why should they think others would do differently for them? But as they observed the Wales, Emons, and Vouns, and their soldiers and officers, they had had to come to the conclusion that these other Korians lived their lives differently than the average Selve. They seemed to be compassionate-a much denigrated trait in Selve-in all that they did or said. They treated the Selves as if they were beings worthy of respect despite their past actions.
When the food trucks and carts came from Wale, Bond had any of the prisoners, who were well enough, go back to Wale in the carts and trucks. Once at the Armory, these people stayed in barracks at the base while family members were found and made their way to rescue their relative.
Tomorrow we witness a rape in the middle of the peace progress.
