A few minutes earlier
"Never did I think I would fight these creatures again, and in the same country as they invaded the last time, when I was simply visiting and playing soccer for fun. I will not let them do the same amount of damage to the country they did last time even if I have to sacrifice myself to make that possible, heh good thing I made sure to design my weapons with superior range in case something like this ever happened because some of the enemies can be downright devious if it comes to that"
Present
A British soldier just transferred to the base confronted Sara about her choice of weaponry
"And just what do you expect a bow and arrow to do against our foes?"
"You'll see, in the meantime I would suggest you get to your post"
Sara got to hers and then to the shock of all she raised her rifle to her shoulder and took aim at the enemy even though they were a good distance away, then they heard her talking to herself
"Come on, just a little closer...little closer...a...nd...now!"
Suddenly she fired a shot and one of the enemy went down and then just as quickly more of the enemy went down as Sara kept firing at the enemy, she then started talking which brought everyone out of their stupor
"Well don't just stand their shoot the darn things, if you have K-series weapons they have superior range for this exact reason, though don't ask me how I know this, oh and some of you might want to start looking at the ground in case they have ground forces"
They quickly do exactly as they are told and quickly realize that Sara was telling the truth and the weapons were actually helping due to the fact that during Sara's fifty years of cold sleep the government's of the world decided that the weapons were to have an automatic range finder built in them in case civilians ever needed to get their hands on the weapons and didn't usually use them so whenever the target was in range a light in their sight would turn green and that let them know the target was in range of the shot. They then noticed Sara taking out her bow and arrows and doing damage to the ground forces, though they didn't understand how they realized that there was something special about Sara's weapon that was unique only to her though one soldier her a US Marine mutter under his breath about her being a show off
"You know better than that Gunny, say does anyone have any more magazines available because I'm out, and I carried fifteen extras just in case, but seeing as how all of us have needed them I've lost the reserves I had"
"Sorry, but none of us can retrieve any either, they're coming way too fast"
"In that case I have no other choice Arranyan winds!"
The enemy in the sky suddenly up and fell down in pieces then Sara was on the ground with her hands also on the ground and there was a sudden shaking and then a very huge mountain showed up
"That should take care of that" (sighs) "I have some reports to read I think because if my suspicions are correct we're in deep trouble"
A few hours after the battle Sara was confronted by a few soldiers who had no understanding of what was going on with Sara at the moment
"What was with the battle earlier today? I thought you cared about us and yet you keep things from those who you would temporarily work with"
"There's such a thing as security clearance codes to deal with, new recruits don't have the necessary clearance to really know about me except in dire emergencies and those that do have the security rarely have the need to activate such clearances because they are either part of my unit whom I trust explicitly or they have already heard so much about me they learn to glean things from what they hear"
"She speaks the truth guys, you're just going to have to trust her on this one I'm afraid, either that or ignore her because she's going on the mission period the end of it per everyone's orders"
They all turn around to see the base commander walking over to them, he had noticed that some of the newer soldiers who had yet to learn just who to bother and who not to bother and about what, had followed Sara and knew they would most likely ask questions she couldn't actually answer. He also had gotten a report meant for Kerenai right before the battle so he felt he needed to tell her now rather than let it wait lest it be important
"Sir, is there something you need?"
"Actually yes Lt. there's a report for you that I need to give you just in case it spells trouble for the upcoming mission"
"Understood sir, I assume you got it right before the battle and thus put it on your desk where anyone can read it?"
"Not quite, I put it in the American reports drawer that I showed you while you were recovering from that one incident"
"Ah, okay I have the key to that drawer thanks for telling me"
"No problem"
Sara leaves but the younger soldiers didn't knowing they were not yet dismissed
"Listen to me and listen to me very carefully, due to the fact that you are new soldiers there are going to be things that other people know that you will not find out and vice versa, from now on I think it's best if you leave things you don't understand alone unless it's important for you to learn so that later on in either life or your career you can help others understand. Lt. Kerenai's abilities is one such thing that is to be left alone unless absolutely necessary because of the nature of her abilities, any nightmares she has that you hear is also off limits unless she willingly tells you or anyone else is that understood?"
"Yes sir"
"Good you're dismissed to either your other duties or if you're off duty you have the rest of the day free until you're back on duty"
While the base commander dealt with reprimanding youngsters Sara looked at the report that had arrived that day and quickly realized it's significance and knew that the people she needed would only be able to get to her through yelling so once she was outside everyone on base heard her
"US MARINES GET YOUR SORRY REAR ENDS HERE RIGHT NOW!"
The unit was quickly at the commanders office and they could tell that something serious was up
"Guys we've got problems, I need to deal with the camp off the coast of Hawaii, remember what I told you guys when we first discussed the mission?"
"Yes you said it would be too dangerous for us and that if something happened it would be best for us to stay put just in case"
"Well it looks like you guys have your own mission while I deal with mine, there's been an attack at another base here in Britain and all of their American soldiers are either dead or too badly injured to help keep the base safe any longer so you are being temporarily transferred to the base while everyone recovers and rebuilds"
"Yes sir"
"Wait is it because we're the closest or because of our security clearance?"
"Both actually, you see the base is only ten miles from here but there are occasions where it deals with some seriously classified things"
"Okay then let's do it, hope to see you in a few weeks"
"Yeah we are moving up the time line a bit because of the recent attack, the hurricane should be over with by now anyways so we're heading out by tonight"
"How are you getting to the ship?"
"Chopper, it's the only thing fast enough to get me to where it's docked right now"
Suddenly though all conversation stopped as Sara suddenly brought out her knife, flipped it so that she was holding the blade and then turned and threw the blade all within the span of a minute. When they saw what was hit the British soldiers were in awe that she had detected the venomous snake before anyone else
"I wouldn't move that blade yet if I were you that snake is pretty venomous and if you remove the blade now without taking off the head first you are at high risk of being invenomated with the head"
"What will you do with the snake?"
"Well I don't know about the rest of you but I for one am willing to make sure that snake is properly prepped and cooked, that will be a meal for me for a few days if proper care is taken care of"
"Wait you would eat a snake?"
"Considering that it was sometimes the only thing available in the war to free America? Yeah I would eat snake if it kept me alive"
"Lt. has the doctor taken care of that um...little problem you've been having lately?"
"Not yet, though he's recently found something that he hopes will work, but it will take a few weeks for him to be sure"
"Understood, well seeing as how you need to leave we'll prep the snake and eat it, I remember you making us eat all kinds of things when we first became a team so that we understood that if you don't do this you might die, though SERE training also emphasizes this it's not to the extent you do"
"Well considering how often the ability to hunt saved my life I would hope I emphasize the importance of such skill as much as possible. But you guys are correct in the fact that quite frankly I need to leave for my mission, see to it that the snake is properly prepared for consumption I don't think you guys want a repeat of the last time I wasn't there due to government paperwork and you guys did some hunting for food. Oh and don't forget about going to the base per your orders"
The group winced in remembrance due to how sick they had been the last time they had done that. With those parting words Sara left the group to the snake while she went on an important mission. Several hours later Sara was on board the ship that would take her and the others to Hawaii
"Are you certain of this Lt.?"
"Yes I am"
"But if people see you in the uniform of Britain, if they're American soldiers they might..."
"Don't worry if they are of a certain rank they already know why I wear the uniform of a British soldier I know you don't like the situation but if you want to come out of this alive you would do well to let me do my job"
"Fine but if we're discovered that falls to you"
"Fine by me I always knew I would take full responsibility for whatever happens on this mission"
"We'll be off the coast of Hawaii in a few weeks"
"Good, well I'm going to get some rack time, I had a few rough days recently"
"So we've heard, get some sleep once that's done I'll see what I can do for you to have something to do while on the ship"
(Sighs) "I know that but I must warn you now due to my powers I have a kind of sixth sense that proves right more often then not and I'm getting a bad feeling. I am not giving you any orders captain but I would advise you double your guard if at all possible and...I would have you request extra supplies for the corpsman I fear he will have need of them and soon"
"I will see what I can do but considering I've seen your battle prowess I trust you"
"Since when have you seen my battle prowess?"
"Easy I became a captain soon after you were captured in Africa for those few weeks"
"Ah now I remember you, you've changed since that day"
"Yes being caught in a ship fire would do that, fortunately I recovered enough to rejoin the military but I am now permanently scarred"
(Yawns) "I think it best that you take me to where I am sleeping while on the ship because I am dead on my feet and talking is not helping"
Over the next few days Sara took over some extra patrols and even a few stints at radar due to illness, which turned out to be an allergic reaction to a food that the soldier had never been exposed to before and thus didn't know he was allergic. Suddenly though Sara sensed trouble and even confirmed it with the radar, the battle that happened was intense and forced Sara overboard due to an enemy forcing her to back up against the railing and then into the water where they then stopped paying attention to her. She resurfaced in time to see the entire ship blown up making her the only survivor thus activating a plan that had been put into place since they had entered British military service all those months ago
