*cats patrol the perimeter, keeping the vermin dogs out*

*Monitors the situation*
Just keeping an eye on the Cat/Dog war taking place on my property. I wonder if you cats are friendlier than those dogs were.

of course, bluebottle! this /is/ your property. and we /are/ friendlier than the dogs... they're the ones who /started/ this whole war.

Oh? So how many cats are there in your alliance, apart from you?

~A Sopwith Pup cruises overhead. Notes are taken of CAT dispositions and a radio message is sent~

*A second Sopwith Pup pulls into formation with the first one.*

*sea glances up at the planes and gulps*

erm, i'm not quite sure how many of us there are, we're not quite as organized or gung-ho as the doggies... and you might want to take cover, i think they're plotting something devious!

*in the ditance, about a kilometer from the shore, the dark silhoutette of the ACFN Carrier Crimson Shark sits ominously, with planes taking off and landing at regular intervals*

~A rapid series of signals are exchanged between the ACF Navy and Airforce~

~some are detected by the CATS~

Hmm.....


........*Doesn't remember giving authorisation for a full scale war in his Boat Yard....*...........


.......*Thinks he must have been asleep at the time....*

Hmm... well quite..
