Several people glance in the girl's direction in mild surprise, but Ray just looks glad to see her. "Fantastic," he says. "Squirrel, um, these are representatives from all three northern watch bureaus and the United States Marine Corps. The ones in the red and blue are from Finland, they're with Project Pohjola. The ones in blue and yellow are from Greenland, they're the Inquanok Patrol. And the ones who look like Mounties on steroids are the Canadians, they're the Ministry of Extraordinary Threats Rapid Response Team. That fellow over there is Captain Korpan, with the Ministry. He's the local operation coordinator. Apparently we're having a lot of trouble with standard radio communications, since the magnetic fields are going completely berserk. I really don't mean to be stereotypical about Canadians and their skill set, but do you by any chance have any skill at piloting snowmobiles or powered sleds or anything of that nature?"
