  • Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

  • With the price of just about everything going up during inflation, we thought we'd bring our prices down.

  • So to help us, we brought in a reverse auctioneer, which is apparently a thing.

  • Mint Mobile Unlimited Premium wireless how to get 30 30, baby get 30, baby get 20 2020 better get 2020 better get 15 1515 just $15 a month so give it a try at Mint mobile.com switch $45 upfront for three months.

  • This is Chrysalis part eight.

  • Logistics war, I realized, was purely about logistics.

  • The more I thought about it, the more I examined the information I had gleaned from the spaceports of conquered worlds, the shipping manifests and flight plans, the contents of downed cargo vessels, the more I realized it was true.

  • It felt wrong to put logistics before critical issues such as strategy, reconnaissance, and personnel.

  • The word itself, logistics, sounded dry and machine like, a word belonging to the quarterly finance report of a gray corporation, one whose employees wore uniforms and where accountants ruled from behind cryptic ledgers.

  • A word that felt out of place on a battlefield, an affront to humanity's long history of visionary military leadership.

  • And yet it was true.

  • At first.

  • When I left Earth, I had considered myself one of those noble leaders, a general in command of an army of drones, recurring to subterfuge and wit, to best my enemies.

  • The trap I had laid in the asteroid belt was a good example of that.

  • I was carrying the torch, following in the footsteps of Sun Tzu and Alexander the Great, honoring their past achievements by keeping our military ingenuity alive, even if humanity itself had perished.

  • And for a time, it had worked.

  • But the more I expanded, the larger my army grew, the less I could keep seeing myself as just a commander.

  • I was now the state in its entirety, the whole nation.
