In previous strips, Mr. Zhu has made it clear how low his budget for this camping trip was. How could he afford ANY resources? In his case, Mr. Lo is referring to the resources that the office already has. In this case, having two people on the ground, Ms. Shue and Ms. Intimidating Cow Monster, for an assignment that only involves three targets, Paul, Nancy, and Nikki.
Fortunately, there’s a separate office dedicated to camping. (Why do you think everyone from sitcoms to comic strips does stories about disastrous camping trips?)
It occurred to me while doing this story that party raids aren’t quite as cool as they were in the unenlightened age I grew up in. I hope making Nikki the ringleader softened things a little bit.
