Subject: Tehran memorandum / Armenian signatures / Mendoza contingency

[BEGIN EXTRACT]

THORNE:
Did you read the Tehran memo. The rapid translation one.

VANCE:
Yes. It is posture. South Pars hurt them more than they are saying, so now they are trying to widen the silhouette.

THORNE:
Then read point 8 again. The Soviet-collapse rumor. My field teams are picking up irregular signatures near the Armenian border. Not standard ballistic. Yield profile is wrong. Footprint looks old.

VANCE:
Old how.

THORNE:
Old enough that if they have a Bluebox, Mendoza is a suicide pact.

VANCE:
Stay on task, Elias. The Shield requires lithium continuity. If the Gulf degrades, hemispheric reserves become the line.

THORNE:
A line for who. Dubai just flagged interference at desal capacity. Public wording says mechanical. It is not mechanical. This is the opening phase.

VANCE:
Your assignment has not changed.

THORNE:
That is the problem.
