The truck grumbled along the dirt road, spitting up dirt and rocks off the heavy-duty tyres. Little conversations were beginning as they rolled on closer towards the outport. Though, Kaktu stayed silent, as he didn't want to be here. But one of the commanders, Mukimba, kept on bragging about some of his latest kills. "Oh MAN you should've seen that pirate's face, just as I chopped off his head!" 3 men around him began to laugh, but Mukimba gave them all one look, and they immediately stopped; like obedient dogs. Kaktu looked at the group in disgust. How such barbaric nature can be let into the Rakyat. These men wore their tatau with disgrace. But Mukimba caught Kakau looking at him. "Ay! You! With the girly hair!" His regular group began to laugh, while Kakau resisted responding by punching him out. Kakau's ignorance put Mukimba on edge. A vein began to pop out of his neck; he was that furious. "No-one... EVER IGNORES MUKIMBA!" And in the blink of an eye he got up, but right as he rose off his seat, he was shot right through the temple. Blood squirted from his head as he fell out of the truck like a ragdoll. The shot echoed on, as the truck stopped and that Rakyat ran out of the truck and behind it. "There's a sniper at 11 o'clock!" Yelled the lieutenant. Kakau was impressed; the man had a keen eye. A second shot went into the driver's cab; but the driver was missing. "Where is he?!" Asked Kakau; then spotting him behind a tree only 50 meters from where the truck was.

"Get over here!" whispered the lieutenant, hoping that his voice didn't draw any more attention. "No no no no no no... I am staying RIGHT HERE!" A third shot went right near the driver's tree. He was now more scared than ever; knee clacking together, heavily sweating and just about to shit himself. "Oh man... I'm too old for this."He then curled up into a little ball and sat on the ground. "Someone needs to take out that sniper or we're all as good as dead! "Declared Kaktu. Everyone looked around at each other; hoping one of them would volunteer for the suicidal role. "Alright, I'll do it. But if I die; tell my wife that she's free to see other men." A little laughter fell among the group. "Hey, can I get your name?" Asked Kaktu; his curiosity getting the better of him once again.

"Just call me Li."

Kaktu, satisfied with the answer, sat against the wheel of the truck. Li pulled out the rifle slowly, and went into a low crouching position. He aimed down the scope and saw the pirate in the tower. He was scanning the area he last shot; meaning that the truck was out of his line of sight. "What a goddamn idiot." He lined up the shot towards his head, took the shot, and BANG! He was right on the money; right through the head. He collapsed towards the back of the tower, falling over and landing on the ground head first. A crack could be heard as his spine broke in multiple places. "Now we move in... still, nice and slow; just as we planned." They all drew out their AK-47s and pulled the bolt back and felt in slide back into place, chambering a 7.62x39mm round. Kaktu was last to move; his better judgement getting the better of him as he sat there, contemplating his decision; whether to run away or fight for the tribe. "C'mon man. We need you." Said Li; crouching at the front fender of the truck. "... OK." Kakau pulled out the FAMAS and crouched along.

The outpost was quite small; it was basically a very small farm with a small house up the northern end. It was all fenced around, with chicken farms to the left and right of the small block and a pathway up the middle. There was a scout tower to the left of the farmhouse; the same scout tower that had the sniper. You could easily tell with the body placed right next to the base of it. There were another 5 footmen, armed with AKs and evenly spread around the place: 2 out the front of the farm house, 1 at each chicken farm and 1 guarding the front gate. How none of these men realised the body or even the shot from the R700 is a complete mystery, but the Rakyat were in for an easy day. The warriors walked among the trees until they were in line with the front gate. Li then gave some orders and placed his men accordingly. There were 4 left out of the bunch that arrived, and they were all positioned as planned: Li behind a tree 10 meters from the front gate, 1 on each side of the gate and 2 giving support for Li. Kaktu was given the role of being on the right side of the front gate, and also given the job to call the green light on the operation. The men were ready, Li's shot was lined up and the pirates were right where they wanted them. Kakau was about to give the signal until he heard a buzzing in the distance. He stopped to have a quick look around; the trees restraining him from a full view. It was really close now. So close, the sound of it was making his eardrums go crazy. Heavy winds blew into his face and engines could be heard. The only logical explanation could be... A helicopter.

A quick signal was given. He looked at Li and gestured his hands to get low. Everyone instantly went into a prone position. Li looked back at Kaktu and shrugged his shoulders. Kaktu then pointed behind him, past the trees. Li kept his eyes glued to the skies to see a helicopter fly over towards the camp. It stayed in the air as 3 soldiers fast-roped in to the camp. Then a man came out of the farm house dressed in what the usual pirate wore, but he also wore a black beret and black tinted glasses. Kaktu looked briefly at the man and shrugged at Li. He shrugged back, meaning that they both don't know who he is. One of the soldiers shakes the man's hand, has a quick discussion with him and then walks back into the farmhouse. As soon as the door slams shut, the helicopter flies off and the soldier that shook the man's hand gives orders to the other two men. He points one man to the left chicken farm and the other man to the front gate. The other man walks inside the farmhouse and slams the door, obviously angry at being placed here. The soldier and the pirate at the front gate start staring at each other.

"Who are you supposed to be; The local clowns!?" The pirate pushes the soldier and he falls over. The pirate then starts to break into tears of laughter. "You sure you want to be doing that? Oh, and by the way, I just happen to be, I mean ALL 3 of us, are Hoyt's privateers. Does this uniform ring any bells?" The uniform is black with yellow stripes along the jacket and pants. The helmet is full black with a headset embedded in it. "You sure you aren't a clown? Because you look like a fucking joke!" The pirate then breaks into another laughing fit and a few of the other pirate had a bit of a chuckle. "That's it bitch..."He pulled out a Desert Eagle, pushed the pirate to the ground and shot him in the head. The loudness of the shot echoed on for what seemed like forever, sending birds flying away out of the trees. Blood was squirted all over the dirt and gravel. "Who's laughing now?! Huh?" The soldier then spat on his body and began to pull the body over to the left chicken farm. Kaktu then realised that they had a window of opportunity. He quickly looked over at Li and gave the signal. Li looked now more worried than ever, but complied as he aimed at the one of the pirates out the front of the farmhouse and shot.
