In this chapter, Captain Jaidee Rojjanasukchai oversees a raid at Bangkok's airfield where his unit seizes and inspects cargo from foreign dirigibles, enforcing the Thai Kingdom's environmental protections amid widespread genetic and ecological contamination. Despite bureaucratic corruption and the futility of fully containing invasive bioengineered threats, Jaidee and his loyal white shirts pursue their mission with zeal, culminating in a failed attempt to secure a shipment from the powerful foreign company Carlyle & Sons. The chapter highlights the tension between idealistic environmental enforcement and the pervasive influence of foreign interests and internal corruption.
