The Horse Lords are besieging Mosul a little further east. Tough luck for our enemies, the @#$%^&!!!ing Turks. But I reckon Edessa will be the Horse Lords next stop. Well, there is @#$%^&!!! all else out in this @#$%^&!!!ing desert, is there?

So, what's the plan, boss?

Do I get the @#$%^&!!! out of here and hole up in Edessa? I reckon I could hold it until relieved.

You are planning to @#$%^&!!!ing relieve me, right, boss?

Yours etc
