Episode 10: The Infiltration (Part 1)
It was 5:00 AM in the morning. Sebastion, Cecil, and Rayne had all arrived at the rebel base to depart for their mission. Spongebob was explaining their mission to them one last time. He was also going over some details with them that he had not explained the other day.
"Remember, you must not be seen by Alex's minions," said Spongebob. "If they catch you, they will summon Alex, and you'll be killed. Do whatever it takes to avoid them."
"However," Spongebob continued, "I'm not going to send you to into the hideout of our greatest nemesis armed with only your bare hands. During this mission, all of you, including Rayne, will be armed with a tranquilizer gun, a 7-inch knife, and a standard pistol that the soldiers in my army use. If in the occasion that you do get caught, you will have some way to defend yourselves. You have permission to either knock out, or kill anyone who sees you."
"Wow, that's very generous of you." Sebastion said in a facetious tone.
"There is another thing that you will be bringing to this mission," Spongebob informed them. "I want you all to wear one of these during this mission." He held out a black suit that had six pockets, two thigh pockets, two leg pockets, and two chest pockets. There was also a sheath strapped on the suit made for carrying a knife.
"Why do we have to wear this suit?" Rayne asked.
"Simple," replied Spongebob. "These suits are designed to help you move with stealth and agility. They're also ideal for storing weapons and items."
"I see." Rayne said.
"I've prepared three suits for you," Spongebob said, "each of them containing ammunition for your guns, and three rations, containing food that the soldiers carry on their missions. You only have ten cartridge reloads for each of your guns though, and a very limited supply of food, so don't waste all of it."
"Got it," replied Sebastion. "Is that all we need to know?"
"There is one more thing," said Spongebob. "The last thing you need to be given in order to increase your progress on this mission, are some drugs given to us by Sandy's scientists."
"Did you just say drugs?" Rayne asked in surprise.
"Yes Rayne," Spongebob replied, "you must be given some of the army's drugs before the mission."
"I... I didn't know that." Rayne said nervously.
"Rayne," Spongebob told her, "for many years, soldiers have been given drugs such as methamphetamine, so that they could survive in the war. We need to give you some pills and injections to increase your chance of suriving on this mission. I'm sorry Rayne, but you don't have a choice."
"*sigh* Alright." Rayne said reluctantly.
"So everything is set," said Spongebob. "The drugs will be given to you by Dr. Lauren Parrifish, a former KB member who will be my assistant in this operation."
Rayne froze up upon hearing the words, "Dr. Lauren Parrifish".
"D-D-Doctor L-L-L-Lauren?" an aghast Rayne said. She looked down, and started blinking rapidly. Everyone started looking at her.
"Are you alright, Rayne?" Spongebob asked in concern.
Rayne did not answer. Painful memories were flashing through her mind as her face was dripping with sweat.
Spongebob, Sebastion, and Cecil decided to turn their attention away from Rayne. Spongebob then called on the intercom, "Justin, send in Dr. Lauren."
"Yes sir." Justin replied.
Dr. Lauren entered the room. She was an orange fish, and was dressed in a red shirt.
"Hello, I'm Lauren Parrifish, medical expert," said Lauren as she introduced herself. "I am temporarily serving the rebel army, at the request of commander Spongebob."
"Hello, Mrs. Lauren." Cecil said as he greeted the scientist.
"You must be the soldiers that Spongebob hired to carry out this operation," Lauren replied. "Nice to meet you."
"So you're from KB too." Sebastion said.
"Yes, I am from KB," Lauren responded. "Before I left, I was a specialist in the field of medicine. I created all sorts of drugs with the aid of another fish named Mark, and I'm going to give you some of them before your flight to Alex's base. Do I have your permission, captain?"
"Yes," said Spongebob gravely. "Take them to the infirmary on the first floor, below here."
"Alright then," said Lauren. "Everyone, follow me."
Everyone left the room except for Spongebob. Spongebob looked down in what appeared to be sadness.
"I don't know how I'll ever be able to get over what I've done." he said to himself shamefully.
A while later, the trio had received their injections, and changed into their suits. The plane that was taking them to Alex's base had arrived, and the three of them were boarding the jet. Spongebob was standing outside the jet, and Rayne had brought, and confirmed to Spongebob that she had the Presence-Eraser.
"You must succeed in this mission!" Spongebob called out to them. "Everything depends on it!"
The jet then flew away, as the three prepared for the upcoming trial that laid ahead of them.
