Back to Acolytes message.

I am stumped on the OSSETIA reference. It recently annexed from Georgia in Russia, and is mainly a mountainous region. It has some mining and oil production, but nothing of note. It links the Caspian sea with the Black sea via land mass, but that's about it?

Anyone else had thoughts on this?

Cant find a Russian ship/sub with that name on it, and anagrams are pretty lame...

I've been toying with the idea that as subs are to water, what would you call a device that travels underground? A subterrine? I personally believe our true enemies are below, and that we have capability to operate down their.
Maybe they travel in oil rivers? Too wuwu?
