now i am so jealous sailing would be so good at the moment, we got our skipper certs and have chartered many sail boats in different locations around world but to own one how awesome. You are sailing not using it as a booze location 
going to take quick look at those films because 
I managed to dream about it last night! I was working on it somewhere and @pigfender came up to me and asked how it was going. “Fine!” I said. “I’ve got a really good choice of music to play out the episode”. He looked at me slightly askance. “Oh, I know it’s a novel. I am writing it as prose and not a screenplay - but I know a really good song for the end of my chapter and maybe everyone else has one too”. I got the impression he wasn’t enthusiastic about the idea. And when I awoke, I had absolutely no notion of what the music was, or indeed what my dream chapter plot was!
But now the real thing awaits…

Hi quick question on where my brief starts is it two separate parts or were Cole and Hanley together at start of brief thanks
I’m sensing that stylistic variations may be even more extreme for this edition than others, which might be either fun or distressing, depending on your POV.
Now, how would Jane Austen have approached this brief?

Thank you @gothcabbage. A dream sequence seems like a splendid idea.

I assume that the Black Mambas have a vehicle or vehicles available to them rather than having to go everywhere on foot. Is it useful to know what make/model it would likely be? Would a couple of beaten-up Toyota Hiluxes be a reasonable choice, or would it be something even more nondescript?
At the instant of the start, they’re together. 1 second later is up to you!

She would have added some dancing and maybe some kissing.

In the movies I’ve seen the Military always seem to drive Humvees, with Hiluxes for insurgents/baddies.
Anything from a horse to a helicopter!
Get away from my dream sequence!
The first chapter is in!
(a very respectable 2,548 words)
