Rocket French 3
The Senate has charged me with organizing the outpost defense and I can tell you that Rome will not surrender the northlands to the Caledonians. In fact, at this very moment,” Vectis said, trying to instill a confidence he didn’t have, “Rome is preparing to send legionaries, should hostilities arise.” “Hostilities? There’s not a place in the Empire more hostile than the Caledonian highlands. We’re hanging by a thread out here.” He laughed in derision. “I cannot believe that Rome intends to do nothing about our situation.” His eyes jerked back and forth as if he were trying to come to a decision. Then, taking hold of Rocket French, he guided him behind the gatehouse out of sight of the others.
