65. Field command
The temporary office had been moved behind the loan building as Scarlet stationed herself there for the first few days after opening. Due to her 'new' location, her entire workforce was also required to set up at this location. She was glad that she had the foresight to buy the adjacent building and had the fence built up. As she looked over the swarm of people, she had to steady herself, resolving to keep an impassive, calm expression.
She could hear her mentor's words in her mind, "Think of this as a field test. If the world goes to hell, you might one day need to direct the army that you've paid for. Remember, as the head of the house, you'll have to sometimes go afield when war is raged. It is my hope that you will never see this, but if the world is particularly unkind, knowing how to run a field command would be a boon." Scarlet took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, steadying herself. Nodding to her subordinates, she directed as best she could. They would actively be practicing code names and jargon. While the business she'd need to actively direct or respond to wasn't important, it was better to have a system in place for future use. If all goes well, she'd never have to use it... and if it doesn't, well, they would have the experience to fall back upon.
Once she got home, she jotted a note down into her diary: All's well that ends well. Field test 3 of 12 complete.
