How did you feel when Sunk Head was blown up?
I was livid is what! It was totally unwarranted-- and cowardly at that!
Like, was what we were doin' really so bad-- I'd not even been declared yet, mind, we were just livin' there-- that you had to go and!!
Sunk Head never did nothin' to nobody but because they were kickin' off about me and what I was doin' they went and took it out on him instead-- it was disrespectful is what it was! All the hard work done there and they repay that by blowin' up the damn place??
Used to be visible on any clear day from where I was sat-- I'd even tried swimmin' out that way on a few occasions, never did make it, but that's another story for another time-- so, naturally we watched it happen, as they'd intended us to do, I'm sure. Apparently people felt the shockwave all the way back at shore, and trust me that I believe it, considerin' the sudden heat wave at my house that day. And we'd had debris goin' past for, like, days afterward!
Then! Because naturally and of course!! They swing by and circle around like buzzards to let us know, like, woooh, you're next! Watch out! Develop some wicked paranoia while you're at it!

And-- it was meant to intimidate us I'm sure but obviously it didn't! Like, yeah, it's easy enough, to rig the place up when there's no one there tryin' to stop you, isn't it, now come and try it with me then, you cowards, if it's so important to you then get over here and bloody stop me!
Which they didn't, of course. Prime Minister Wilson, God bless him, had been good enough to not approve the plan to go and shell us with helicopters and such-- partially because he knew full well we'd fight back, and he'd not want anybody harmed, them or us-- so that's... somethin' I guess. Quite stupid of them all to expect me to fold as soon as someone tries to frighten me. I was built much better than that, thank you very much-- and, whose fault was that again?
