Even for a top-secret mission they still can’t afford a helicopter that doesn’t crash

[@von...]

They save those for the wumbo-secret missions, the budget cuts down to a measly 30 trillion a year have been tough... but the successful containment of the outbreak was doomed once the daily supply shipments of Coke & Pepsi suddenly only had Dr.Pibb in them.
