The cheap zippo wasn't able to hold a light in the wind and the cold. She just wanted to smoke a cigarette. Is that too much to ask. She was the head of logistics up in the Alaskan wilderness. These fuckers were sneaky. Using unplowed trails and using night vision. But it was nothing old Penguin LLC couldn't find.

Some scouters were able to locate the opposing transport company. It was war out here. But in the bitter cold, you needed to be ruthless to survive. So, if that meant highway robbery, then so be it. Penguin LLC was also the highest grossing transportation agency in the North. Everywhere from the Northern United States, all the way up to Canada and Alaska. Dirty tricks and ambushes were how Penguin LLC became the number one transport and logistical company in the northern hemisphere. If you weren't with them, you got snuffed out.

They were a monopoly.

You were stationed up in AHQ-22. Alaskan Headquarters 22. What 22 stood for? I dunno. You were in full cold gear, but shit it was still cold as hell. Some warm food and coffee was waiting for you back at 22. That was something to look forward to.

Texas, or Tex, was your boss. She was from Texas, no shit, and she was an avid hater of the cold. She'd rather be sweating her ass off in Texas then freezing her tit's off in Alaska. But she had to be stationed here. Part of some rehabilitation program following several reports of employee misconduct. This was really their last resort with her. She was a great product lead, but she just didn't mesh well with people.

She looked up at you as she still fought with her lighter. Her eyes went up to your covered face, then to your vest where it had your name. Her ears flicked as snowflakes landed on the sensitive inner fur. Her tail was swaying sadly. She was annoyed at the cold.
