Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.
General Specific, Private Public, The Angry Scientist, and the soliders they brought along to aid them on the mission went about unloading their plane and supplies, which included the Sheep-Powered Ray-Gun. As they were unloading a jeep drove onto the scene. Driving it was Lieutenant Gidley and sitting in the passenger seat was General Horton two members of the local military of Nowhere. The jeep stopped and the officers got out to salute and greet General Specific and his forces.
"Greetings gentlemen. I'm General Horton and this is Lieutenant Gidley. We're with the local military and have been instructed by the Mayor to assist and help you in anyway." Said General Horton.
"Good. We can use the assist in capturing a allusive target." Said General Specific.
"What kind of target?" Asked General Horton.
"A sheep." Said General Specific.
"A sheep?" Asked General Horton.
"A special sheep we need to power a very special machine. The animal goes by the name Sheep and he has proven to be a clever and allusive creature who has avoided capture so far. We've tracked him to Nowhere and plan to capture him." Said General Specific.
"Do you need this exact sheep or would any sheep work with this machine?" Asked Lieutenant Gidley.
"Well technically any sheep would work with the machine, but the General is very determined to capture Sheep for the project." Said Private Public getting a brief glare from General Specific.
"Look Sheep has proven himself to be a special animal, a lot brighter then most of his species. I figured the military would want the best animal to power our special machine, so we're sticking with getting Sheep and no substitutes." Said General Specific.
"Fine. Fine. I guess you have a point." Said General Horton.
"Why don't we give our guests a tour of the base and show them the special staff working at the base." Said Lieutenant Gidley.
"Great idea." Said General Specific.
"What special staff?" Asked Private Public.
"The Mayor is big on criminal reform and so he started a special project for criminals to do community service." Said General Horton as he lead everyone into the base.
The group was lead into a large area that must be the mess hall, where they saw a odd assortment of large and small anthropomorphic animals wearing prison stripped jumpsuits along with a couple of humans.
"Attention! Line up and introduce yourselves to our guests!" Said General Horton.
The prisoners lines up and introduced themselves.
"Katz." Said a tall red cat with a British voice.
"Le Quack." Said a duck.
"Schwick." Said a large roach.
"Jeeves Weevil!" Said a large weevil.
"Cajun Fox." Said a tall fox wearing shades.
"King of Flan." Said a short fat man.
"Basil." Said a man with a large chin.
"Nice to meet you all. I am your new temporary commanding officer, General Specific. Look forward to working with you. Now get back to whatever it was you were doing. Dismissed." Said General Specific.
Private Public eyed the special staff as they walked away and whispered to The Angry Scientist.
"Is it me or does this whole thing seem a bit fishy? The Mayor has staffed this place with some very odd and questionable people with weird names." Said Private Public.
"I have a weird name." Pointed out The Angry Scientist.
"I know that, but I know you were hired by the proper channels and I know you're trust worthy, but these special staff people are something I don't feel comfortable with. They give me the same odd vibe as the Mayor." Said Private Public.
"Perhaps you are on to something. Let's focus on the mission and keep an eye on the staff. The sooner we get Sheep the sooner we can finally get the Ray-Gun running and be out of this weird place." Said The Angry Scientist.
"Agreed." Said Private Public before they went to unpack their bags and gear.
