*Jeckle just gives Shroud a less panicked look that was there before and then takes a deep breath as he moves forward. after a couple of heartbeats that slowly return to normal, she unstraps from the seat and then stands.
*she watches as the others leave their weapons behind and looks away before moving to the exit with her coat on. unless she actively initiates the firing mechanisms, hers are actually harmless. not the few other items, still harmless till she pulls them and tries to fire. all in all, she's a safe bet for distraction and prefers it that way.
*when the others head out, she will fall in line and take up the second from rear spot. this gives her the time to examine the terrain and where best to find cover and have something to give the others to get to safety.

The base is set up on a rocky section of what is otherwise a beautiful tropical island. The ant-aircraft guns, tanks and artillery are strategically placed all over the small island as is someone is expecting an invasion. Only one AA gun is in the base itself.
Small groups of Chinese soldiers hustle around and a few of them work to secure, re-fuel and maintain the Catalina on Tiger's orders. They notice the bullet marks, but say nothing.
The short walk to the base commander's tent is unescorted, but once there a junior officer shows them inside. The base commander stands in a roomy tent with a table with a map of the island placed on it. He looks up in shocked surprise as Tiger enters and salutes.
He speaks in Chinese, [[Tiger. Does this mean there will be a battle?]] He wonders aloud before returning her salute, [[At ease. Why have you come? Is there really going to be a fight here?]] He looks like he expects the shells to start dropping at any moment. Apparently Tiger's reputation with her old unit is mostly as a combat leader.
[] Tiger says with a smile. [[Many of my assignments did not end in battle.]]
[[Forget the question, it was rude. Perhaps you had better explain.]]
[[Of course. I have brought a small team with sealed orders to complete a secret mission.]] She doesn't elaborate.
[] He smiles [[Was it really necessary to bring mercenaries?]] He asks dismissively [[You must have know we would be here.]]
Tiger grins, [[Mercenaries can be used for things you wouldn't want to use regular soldiers for, but for the moment they are my troops.]]
The base commander ponders this for a moment. [[Then they will be treated as our own. Since your mission is secret, I will support you as best I can without knowing what you are trying to do. Each of your soldiers shall have a guide of the island. If you need anything from the other officers, you have only to ask me and I will be sure you have a free hand.]]
[[Thank you,]] Tiger says, [[Your help will be important to accomplishing our mission.]]
[[It is good to see you again. You must have been retired for me to pass you in the ranks. You will find most of the soldiers won't remember you, but your best are still here and many are officer's.]]
[[Congratulations on your promotion.]] Tiger responds.
[[It was easy to follow in your footsteps. Come back later when you have rested and we can have a drink.]]
Tiger nods, and the junior officer shows everyone out again. Ionic looks thoughtful as low ranking soldiers show up, one for each member of the team.
"They will show you to your tent. Get cleaned up, get some weapons on and come back to the plane to supervise the unloading. Your guides will speak english somewhat."

Dante follows his escort to a tent and unpacks, He takes off his overcoat, and puts on his custom made harness and straps his claymore to his back. He pulls out his collapsible bo staff and presses the release extending it to its full size. He does some simple moves with it twirling it. and spinning it. Once done, he collapses it again and slides it into the slot for it in the front of his harness.
He bends down and checks the laces on his shoes, and then pulls his collapsed night sticks from his boots. He extends them and quickly collapses them again and returns them to his boots. He puts on his Overcoat again and as he walks out of the tent he puts on the sunglasses Jeckle had given him. He turns to his escort and says, "back to the plane."

* Jeckle seems disinterested in the camp as they move thru it. she is in fact memorizing the various routes in case a rapid retreat or sneaky one is needed. upon reaching her tent, she takes the time to examine the layout. checking under hte bed .. in the closet .. then takes out a bug sweeper .. and checks it again. any bugs she might find .. are looked at, then a sharp look at the 'guide' .. and then shakes the head before moving on to the next.
*once thats done, she washes the face and hands with the water provided and then checks the bedding and nods 'it'll do .. the plane? ... please. thanks'

Khris followed his escort to his tent, where he quickly cleaned himself up and then had his guide lead him back to the plane. He went aboard and looked around until he found a crate addressed to him. He was as giddy as a schoolkid as he hauled it off after grabbing his other things , setting it down where he could watch the plane yet be semi-private before opening the case to reveal his new toys and enough ammo to keep him happy for a long time.
He muttered to himself as he lifted the first piece of the M99 sniper rifle from the case and began assembling it, " Cross Hairs, you had fine taste."

Tiger gives the guides some boxes of liquor to take to the commander. One of them stands casually near the plane, but they are left in private. "The distractions should be arriving shortly, I think," Tiger says as she puts on her revolvers and some bullets. "Everyone find the tents comfortable? Looks like troops wander the island fairly regularly, not alot to do here so they go swimming and exploring more than usual." Her tone is odd, like she is talking about school kids hiking the island and not soldiers. She texts Shroud: -Do you need a minute alone, or should I call you so you can hear our discussion  - |

Khris scowled as his phone vibrated and he took it out to read the message. Shaking his head, he put it away and finished assembling the heavy rifle. Once a loaded magazine was inserted and a round was raked into place, the rifle vanished, hidden away by his powers to be called on when he needed it.. He took the extra magazines in hand, picked up the other case and left the empty case lay as he returned to the others. He looked at Tiger, " Sorry, dinna realize that you needed me right away."

"No trouble, those 'guides' won't be gone long. I'm sure the commander won't want mercenaries running around unsupervised. When the distractions arrive, don't help them unload. This is a tiny island, so I'm sure everyone will put two and two together - especially the ones who served with me, but we have to at least keep up appearances."
"Tonight, when things get going, come back to the plane and bring some of the cases of booze to whatever tent has been set up. Once your guide is occupied, sneak out and head west to the beach. From there we will start searching in private."
"Questions?" Tiger looked around at everyone. She was eager to get started, but she wasn't about search the island with soldiers watching over her shoulder. Even the fact that they were searching would reveal much about their mission and complicate things.

" Not a problem, bosskitty." Khris replied, half listening as he was opening the other case. He took out the AA-12 ausault shotgun and loaded one of the rotary magazines into it. Checking the safety, he grinned, and the shotgun disappeared, replaced by his twin Colt Pythons. He tucked the revolvers into empty holsters and took the extra ammunition from the case and began loading up a shotshell bandoleer. " I'll keep my new toys hidden. Let the locals try to figure what was in the cases." He winked at Jeckle with a smirk.

* Jeckle watches Khris and then shakes her head at the wink. then the eyes roll up as the head lowers .. still shaking.. one sigh later she's back in control 'got it boss .. got a few things to do anyways .. so i'll see you then .. later all'
* she slips off again with the one box with her name on them. it may be filled with styrofoam peanuts .. but there is some delicate things inside that need to be removed carefully. these are the 'dissolve in water' type so there won't be much proof of them being about once the first rain or water hits them.
