You try not to grimace as you move among the bundles of equipment being loaded onto your cargo plane. All things considered, you know you're very fortunate. Edgar Monson, the tech genius who is possibly the richest man in the world and your patron, has provided you with everything you requested for your expedition, not skimping on anything.
In return, Edgar has only made one demand on you: Hongon.
Hongon will be Monson's representative on the trip. Technically, Hongon will be serving as your major domo, making sure all your logistical and technical needs are met. In reality, Hongon is going to be Monson's ears and eyes. You suspect Hongon also has the unilateral power to pull the financial plug on your trip, if push comes to shove.
You suppose you can't begrudge your sponsor for wanting some financial oversight with his donations. You just wish you had gotten to pick your own chief assistant. Preferably one who wasn't a spy for Monson.
