CHAPTER II – A Way In

Motioning for a stop, he noted over to Fox: "Look up there, a sentry in the trees. Can you take care of him?"

"Well shucks what do you think?" Fox said as he chambered a bullet and took aim as he got the sentry into the scope he squeezed the trigger, which let out a boom and everyone watched as the sentry fell from his position. "Does that answer your question?" he said with a smirk.

"You know someone could have heard that." Said Tex with a Groan. "We'll have to be extra careful not too make too much noise. We need save that for a surprise attack" she said with a smile and wink.

She walked on fully aware of her surroundings and keeping an eye on her apprentice.

"Well if they didn't hear or see our ship land, I'm pretty sure the shot didn't do too much of anything to blow our plan." Said Fox with a smirk.

"Ok fine you can make all the noise you want and when they come to get us well tie you to the tree with a note that says 'i did it'" said Tex sarcastically and a slight gleam of hope.

"Shhh… Someone's coming!" said Larry suddenly.

Quickly, Tex jumped behind a tree and quietly put her sword away then and prepared to capture the on coming victim.

Larry using a trick he had begun to pick up, when the on coming shape revealed itself in the row of trees Larry bound him using the force. The still stunned Fox and Assim were still just standing there. But apparently the fog was so thick, the sentry couldn't see very far in front of him. There was still the problem of the sentry in the tree though, Larry used a Force push on the tree and was able to make the person fall down.

Larry released the sentry after disarming him and tying him up, but kept his mind open and attuned to the Force. No one else was close...
"Hello there," Larry said to a now wide-eyed looking sentry, "We are just here to find out why you guys are here, nothing else. Then we'll go."

The Sentry spat at Larry's feet, "Until you decide to destroy us!"

"Why would we have reason to do that?" Larry asked frowning.

"Your friend's been stroking his mini-gun like he's climaxing!"

Larry frowned even more, "Can you please stop that sir? I'm trying to interrogate the POW."

"I know exactly how we can get him to talk i saw it in a movie one time I'm gonna need ya'll to hold him and go get me a calf."

"Come on you know that movie what is it...ol' the cowboy way, that's it!" said Fox with pride.

"Nope never scene it, come here and start explaining... Harrod, Captain Assim, sir, keep interrogating the captive," said Tex as she dragged Fox out of earshot of the prisoner. "Ok bub, no wise cracks, start explaining," she said.

"Heh, heh. Time for some interrogation" Assim said with a spin of the barrel. The sentry's eyes opened wide with fear.

Tex shouted over her shoulder: "uh... sir!! i said interrogate not torture!"

The sentry relaxed a little... "Thank you, ma'am," he said and then muttered, "These women in DW… all soft."

"I have ears like a bat! I can hear you! So don't speak unless spoken to, prisoner!! Till you give info I'm not sweet to anyone..." she turned again to fox, "that includes you..."

Two minutes later Tex and Fox came back laughing. "That's an intriguing idea... ill keep it in mind. but we wont do it this time. So did he say anything Captain, sir?"

Tex walked back to see a heavily sweating sentry. Assim was standing nearby grinning. the prisoner looked up at Tex, "Ah!! Don't hurt me! I'll tell you anything!" he shouted struggling to get away.

Assim looked up and winked at Tex. "See that wasn't so bad," he said to the sentry.

The sentry's sudden shout had startled Tex, she pulled out her Katana in a flash "What the hell did you do?" Asked Tex.

Fox had seen the wink and played along. "Come on tell sweet cheeks here what she wants to know trust me you don't want to see her mad. It's horrible."

Catching on, Tex said in the most evil way possible "aw come on!! I like torture!!" she said licking her sword! "HAHAHAHA!!!"

"Told ya she's crazy," Fox said.

"He's clearly not going to tell us anything." Larry said, "I say we either kill him or knock him out and go on to the base. I vote for capture, Jedi do not believe in killing prisoners, no matter how bad the crime. Also, we've been here too long. Odds are, if this sentries' absence is noticed at the next call in we are as good as detected. Let's move on to this mystery base."

"Aw, man, you take the fun out of everything" said Assim.

"Dang" said Fox.

"ok, 'mister Jedi' " said Tex with a little wink, then she turned to Assim and snapped to attention and said, "Captain Assim? You're the CO of the group so the decision is really yours! Though i suggest go with Harrod on this one... we don't have to kill him and we can use him for a ransom. If they give us the info we want and then they get their sentry back. And we know they are small and need every man they can get their hands on, oh and they don't know how to call a bluff. If they don't value him then we know that they're big enough that it wouldn't really matter! And we should report back to base ASAP! But either way the call is yours, sir!"

"Yep ole Tex has got a point, sir," said Fox

"I've got a better idea." Said Assim, "Fox, head back to the Landing Zone. There should be some active camouflage generators in the back of the humvee. Get them, we'll cloak, and force the sentry to go back to base and open it up, saying he has to tell his superior something, and say his radio broke. He'll get in thru the main door, we'll sneak in too, and Harrod can do some of that fancy Jedi stuff he does and get rid of the sentry threat once we're in."

"Or we could do that! What do you think, Fox, Harrod?" asked Tex.

"That would work, but what if they have thermal sensors on the exterior of their base? Or what if they're Force Sensitive?"

"I already used my thermal vision eye mode," Said Assim, "There are no detection devices save for basic security cameras. As for finding about their force sensitivity… that's your job, Jedi boy."

"Oh, right. It's a good idea then. Let's go" said Larry, and fox took off for the humvees to get the generators."

Meanwhile Tex went to fill in the Sentry "ok bub, here's what your to do" she helped the sentry stand up, and explained what the sentry is to do; "one mess up and its 'bye bye, Dream World' for you got it?!" Tex walked over to where the sentry dropped his gun, picked it up and emptied the clip "so were sure you wont try to turn on us..." she said Tex with a smug look. She crossed her arms, leaned up against the nearest tree and patiently waited Fox's return.
