Evasive Maneuvers

Our electronic nets,
Those intricate webs of invisible justice,
Were built for the criminal element: border-hoppers,
Suitcase-bombers, those devious men who
Fill our container ships with packing peanuts
And depleted uranium, or other devious men.

But now we’ve nabbed a new adversary, an unseen
And, until now, unknown danger: Cetacea. A silent
Cabal they exist below the surface, skimming under
The radar. Their numbers, like their aim, are unknown,

Though they pose a threat not seen
Since the Cold War: naval dominance. And we must
Respond. Fortunately, our invisible network retards
And misleads them—we have once again won
The Information Game—to our purpose.

The task before you—before each of us—is
To bottleneck the enemy and eradicate them; it will be,
To use a crude phrase, nothing short of fish
In a barrel. A decisive victory is imminent and so our
Freedom will remain assured.
