Five hours later the Marine Force Recon team was making its way through the
forest, they weren't too spread out and were watching their sixes
A noise off to their left forced them to turn quickly to look at that direction. A lone intar gun barrel appeared from under some leaves and pressed against the ankle of one of the Marines, the intar discharged and the Marine fell to the ground, his team mates turned to see him slumped on the ground.
"Dixon check him out." The team leader whispered. As Dixon went over he was hit with another shot from the intar and collapsed over his friend. Another intar barrel came out form the ground and hit the leg of another of the team, this time on the other side of the group.
"What the hell?" The team leader said sharply.
"A lesson in not messing with the Air Force." Sam said from her position up a tree, she shot as did Teal'c and Cracknell from their positions up other trees in the vicinity knocking out the final three Marines.
"Mark them as killed and switch their tracking devices to show them as dead." Sam instructed, as they shimmied down the trees. Tiner, Salter and Jenkins crawled out from their fox holes and shook off the leaves.
"Has anything happened since I've been gone Colonel?" Vidrine asked coming back from taking a phone call.
"They've taken out the Marines sir." Jack indicated the screen where the Marines tracking devices had turned dull indicating that they'd suffered kill shots.
"All of them?" Vidrine questioned.
"Yes sir." Jack replied proudly.
"Do you how?"
"The Robin Hood method sir." Jack replied.
"Robin Hood?" Vidrine questioned.
"Yes sir."
"Would you care to explain Colonel?" Jack pulled a set of computer zip disks out of his pocket and selected the one he wanted.
"With your permission General..." Vidrine nodded. "Load this up Lieutenant."
"Yes sir." He loaded the disk. "Which file Colonel?"
"Robin Hood simulation." Jack replied. The simulation appeared on the screen. "General they dug three foxholes if you will, Tiner, Jenkins and Salter hid in them and were covered in leaves so it looked like the area hadn't been disturbed.
"That accounts for three of the members of the team what about the others?"
"Up trees sir." Jack pointed to the trees. "Intars are like stun guns but with more of a kick. The ground team were going to press them up against the legs of whoever was closet to them and the tree team were going to take out who else was left."
"What does this have to do with Robin Hood?"
"It's something Jenkins said in relation to the movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, it lead to the basis for the plan."
"I see. And you're sure this is what they did?"
"It was the plan sir. Knowing my wife it's what happened."
"It's an interesting strategy."
"You ain't seen nothing yet sir."
"Er..." The Marines groaned as they woke up.
"What happened?" Dixon muttered.
"I think I'm dead." One of the others said after rubbing his head and red paint coming off on his fingers.
"Actually I think we all are." Another member of the team said.
"If at first you don't succeed try again next year." The team leader said.
"What sir?" Dixon said.
"Major Carter left us a note. 'If at first you don't succeed try again next year'. Signed Major Carter and there is a lipstick print."
"What hit me?" Gateman asked.
"Some kind of stun gun I'm guessing." Dixon said.
"Whatever was I want one."
"Well put your order into Santa Claus because I doubt you'll get one."
