Hi everybody!
I decided to do some exploring, went to my place in F27, Ajtosh was there waiting (seenms he new of my intentions), and told him that I would like to do some exploring, he said what about a retrieval, I said OK, that would be great, then we went to F23.
Everything was dark, really black, then I opened my perceptions and saw a man dressed with a white shirt, beige pants with suspenders, boots and a beig hat, smoking a cigarrete, sitting in the open in which seemed an African landscape. I asked him......'hey, what are you doing here?', he answered.....'I'm waiting for the boss',......'ah your boss, and you think he is coming?'I said,.....'sure, we have all those guns to trade, you know big business', then I got the imp. that he was selling arms to the rebels in Zimbabwe, and was killed by a gunshot from the government forces when waiting to do the trade. I asked his name, he said......'Mario... Capecchi', I said you are Italian,.......'yeah, but I have been living in South Africa since 1932, in Johannesburg'. For some reason he felt confortable with me, very open, perhaps he saw me as some one he knew, I have no idea, I wanted to know more about this trade, and asked him.....'to whom are you selling those guns?', he said......'to the South Rhodesia rebels, and is great business, we give them those old guns and they pay us with gold, and also is close to South Africa, you know just in the North, and is easy for us to do the trade in the frontier, in Mayuga (or something like that). Now I was really confused, thinking that I was getting something wrong, before I got the imp. of Zimbabwe, and now South Rhodesia, which country was the right one? Well..there it goes again, conflicting information. Then I asked him which year was, he said....'of course is 1963', like what an stupid question. I really didn't know how to approach the retrieval process, then I said....'you know Mario, I think that we better go to look for your boss, who knows what may happened to him', he said.....'no way, I have to stay here with the guns', then I told him that he could hidde the guns in the bushes and cover them with leaves, that no one will find them, he was reluctant, saying that it was his reponsability to take care of the guns, after telling many times that the guns will be OK, that he better go to look for his boss, he agreed to do that. Finally after he felt he have hidden the guns well, we started moving away, by now I felt the Helper there, and he said......'hey there is my boss', I couldn't see anyone else, but I knew the Helper was there, I don't know if his boss was there with the helper or if he 'saw' the Helper as his boss, perhaps the Helper assumed this form. Anyway he just went strait to the Helper and I felt that he was very happy, I knew he was now in good hands. After that I said thanks to Ajtosh, who was there during the entire retrieval, and came back to C1.
After the experience, I went to check on the conflicting information I got. I'm totally ignorant when it comes to African history or the Countries there, that have changed so much during the 20th Century, I had no idea where South Rhodesia and Zimbabwe were located, I was still thinking that both were two different countries. Then I found that the Country of South Rhodesia was located in the north of South Africa, and it was the name that had when it was under British domination, until got its independence in 1980, and now the name is Zimbabwe. During the years between between 1950 and 1965, the country had great internal guerrillas by rebels who were fighting for their independece from the British, and 1965 they claimed the State of Zimbanwe, which Britain didn't recognize. Then I found that there is small town in the frontier between South Africa and Zimbabwe named Mazuga.
Thanks for listening
LOVE Marta
