Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hicks turned around to face Bond and cocked an eyebrow at him "It would worry me if she wouldn't get mad Bond." he said with a smile. "And even if she doesn't get mad I will. You and I have been too reckless lately. Lets try to make it through this one in one piece, alright?" he said with a slight nod towards Bond.

Jack checked his direction, and looked up at the desert that now turned into somewhat of a jungle. He slowed the APC down and took on the task of navigating through the trees/bushes, and stopped a few clicks in. He looked at a map of the area and smiled. "Hicks, the enemy base is about half a mile that direction." He said, looking over to the man. "You want me to get us closer, or do you want do hump it?" He said, slapping a clip into his M-16 and a shell into the 'nade launcher.

Bond looked at Hicks and said, "That's good enough for me." Bond snubbed out his smoke with two of his fingers and lit another one, taking a long drag on it. He checked to make sure that his guns were clean and ready to kill.

Hicks smiled and said "Alright guys lets do this." He opened his door and jumped out of the APC and unslung his M-16 and moved towards the base. The chances of them entering the base unheard and unseen were pretty good considering that the outside defenses seemed pretty light. They seemed more worried about keeping people inside then keeping people out.

Bond followed Jack and Hicks. He looked at the base and said, "If we get in there. How are we going to get the prisoners out with out causing the base to come alive with the enemy? I'm not willing to die before I marry Leora, just so you know." Bond loaded a grenade into his grenade launcher, checked the gun, and placed it on his back.

Jack smiled. THere weren't enough guards to cause a major worry, it was a prison camp, after all. But Bond was right, they needed a plan to get them out. Jack decided on giving the POWs the dead guards' weapons.

When Hicks hit the ground he ducked and rolled and got back on his feet quickly. He immediately scanned the area for enemies and when he didn't see any he walked quickly to the main gate.

There was a large tower at both ends of the gate and Hicks climbed the one closest to his team. He slowly made his way up the ladder and when he was near the top he stopped and listened to see how many guards he could identify.

One of the guards jokingly said to the other "Did you see Ryan try to break up that fight yesterday? He was trying to get in between two guys that were easily half again his size..."

The other guard began laughing and said "I thought that he was going to get stepped on and tossed aside."

Hicks climbed up to the top of the ladder and peaked over the top rail to wait for an opening.

The first guard left the office in the tower and yelled over his shoulder "I am going to get some fresh air. Keep an eye out will ya?"

Hicks could hear a mumble come from the other guard and watched as the guard came closer and closer to him. The guard walked passed him and leaned against the rail and lit up a cigarrette.

When he was sure that the guard was not able to see him Hicks climbed over the rail and came up behind him. He put an arm strongly against the mans throat and used his other arm to ease him to the ground silently. As soon as he heard the guards breathing normalize and slow down he lied him against the deck of the tower and crept over to the opening of the door.

He quickly looked inside and saw that the other guard was getting a cup of coffee and that his back was to him. He quickly but quietly walked behind the man and put him in a sleeper hold. The guard tried to struggle and dropped his mug of coffee but Hicks was stronger then him and held him a moment longer until he passed out. When the mans seemingly lifeless body relaxed Hicks sat him down in a nearby chair.

This tower apparently was the main control tower because it had most of the security systems inside of it along with the controls for the main gate. They would be able to disable most of the cameras and open the gate when they needed to from here.

Jack nodded to Bond and sprinted through a maze of buildings, finally getting to the motorpool, which was heavily guarded. He cursed silently and looked at the building he was taking cover behind, and realizing that it was the POWs (who were also the tank crew) cell block. He eased around the corner and saw one lone guard, asleep at the front, and one patroling the hallway beyond the door. Jack stepped across the doorway when the first guard passed, and silently slit the guard's throat. He did this with his old traditional prayer, grabbing the man's gear and setting it aside silently. He peaked into the doorway just as the second guard was walking down the hallway, and watching the door. The man tried to hollor a warning, but found it difficult with a knife sticking out of his throat. Jack walked in dragging the first guard and his gear, and put the gear and bodies next to eachother. He then grabbed the Keycard from the second guard, and unlocked the cells, the prisoners coming out and asking for direction. Jack told them to gear up, which they did, and he lent his pistol to the last man, who was without a weapon. The group them moved out of the building, Jack clicking his radio.


He sent the message, making sure that Bond knew that he still had a job to do.

((XD, I wasn't sure if you guys knew, There's a NPC tank crew, as well as a NPC Marine squad. Sorry if I confused anyone in my Mission request...))
