Well, let's have a word.\nM:\nThis message I referred to reads both groups of Turkish ships have\nchanged course according to reports London British sources Cyprus.\nisland/\nTask force north of trePand has just entered 12 mile limit when it\nturned. Forces now steaming north and is approximately 22 miles off\ncourse.\nK:\nThey may be heading for Salonisa.\nI:\nThat's a long way away.\nRhodes.\nK:\nOr Rotes Listen gentlemen. I'm not that crazy yet.\nI:\nYou haven't looked at your map.\nK:\nI know they are not hegaing for Salonika Bob. Now. Lets discuss what\nwe do if they turn around again. Supposing they land.
