Relayed dispatch re orders re Tabor Takedown to Barak (gen’l, Israelites, commanding). Barak reports unwilling to proceed unless personally accompanied by Deborah (legal/administrative, see attached re bio). Reasons unclear: speculate lack of faith, requires hand-holding? Regardless: instructions on how to proceed required ASAP.

Note: this serial in reverse, of a sort, was inspired by
‘s note about serials in reverse chronological order, and of course by the story of Jael in the book of Judges, chapter 4 specifically. I’ve actually written another angelic perspective on that story before, albeit from a slightly different angle: see Wham!
Jael, folks. She’s got a tent peg and she is not afraid to use it.
Anyway, until next time,
Michael
Jael is what my millennial daughters call a "badass." I have to concur.
