back in t/b border

i was asking the secretary of the --- dept of health and welfare about the new large clinic that was just built in one of his villages, thanks to a private funder. we were just catching up, shooting the shit, we'd both been out of the town.

me: so there was an opening celebration for the clinic?
secretary: yes. lots of food. people like to eat food at celebrations.
me: how many beds does the clinic have?
secretary: twenty
me: wow, that's big.
secretary: yes it is big...but i don't think this clinic will get burned down....
me: wha?!
secretary: even though it is large, i don't think it's that much of a priority right now for the SPDC to want to attack this village. they are setting up army posts close by to do some mining, but i think they found very little valuable minerals so far. so this clinic will not be important to them...
me: oh.
