Introduction
APT is considering establishing a greater presence here in Kava. I am taking the chance to analyze, synthesize, and prescribe new forces to help in the process.

The people of Kava were in chaos, because no one spoke the same language and when there is something going wrong no one can agree on anything. There could be a few benefits that could come out of this. One benefit would be the inexpensive quality of labor.
