A couple hours later, a supply ship unloads off the coast of the island and a commotion fills the camp. Dozens of beautiful women, nearly a hundred in all, and crates of booze are ferried ashore and a massive tent is set up a short ways away from the military camp.
By the time evening falls, even the soldiers who should be out patrolling the island have found their way to the big tent where cute bartenders and high priced escorts from Hong Kong are busy separating the soldiers from their money. On duty soldiers guard the tent, making sure no one brings weapons inside and ensuring nobody gets out of hand - though they wave the Omega Shield agents through like VIPs weapons or not. Lines of soldiers stretch out from the tent in all directions.
Oddly dated music fills the camp on military speakers, starting with Let Me Clear My Throat... Inside the tent is strobe lights and several maze like partitions each complete with a bar or two and swarming with soldiers and women.
None of the Chinese seem to question why so much effort was being put into entertaining a few hundred troops on a small island, though its hard to believe it has ever happened to them before.
Tiger sighs, checks the braid of her hair and makes her way to the tent. Her entrance is greeted with muted cheers from those who recognize her, and she makes her way over to the main bar where the commander is knocking down oversized shot glasses of scotch and the command staff is hemmed in and surrounded by gorgeous women plying them with drinks. The commander seems to be taking it all in stride, buys Tiger a drink and only says a couple words to her before she walks away.

Khris was already inside when Tiger made her entrance, seated towards the edge of the tent nursing a glass of foul stuff the locals called liquor while watching several soldiers betting on some sort of game involving dice. He waited, and sure enough, his escort was soon too entralled in the game to notice that he had edge to the side of the tent. Taking a quick look to make sure no one was looking, he 'shrouded' himself and ducked under the edge of the tent. He moved slowly so the guards wouldn't notice him. Once out of the gurads sight, he dropped his powers and cautiously moved to within sight of the meeting place on the beach. He didn't know how long the others would take, but he didn't want to get caught while waiting for them.

* Jeckle has picked up an empty beer bottle and is toting that about .. and seems to be belting back shots and then swigging after it with a beer. pausing to do a shot contest with someone, they follow her example and take a shot and follow it with a beer .. and are very shortly extremely pie-eyed.
* Jeckle hands her guide a beer and then seems to lean against a wall .. and is currently nursing her drink. 'come on mate .. yer about 4 beer behind me .. loosen up and have another .. i promise not to tattle ... sides .. i'm headin fer bed .. night .. '
*then she stumbles her way to the tent and seems to be flopped on the bed as the light turns off. she is in fact, under the bed, and after the footsteps of the guard .. err .. guide head back to the tent, she slips out the back of the tent and using the nightvision specs on the glasses she checks for hidden surprises and then vanishes into the night to the beach

Khris heard someone coming before he saw her from his hidden vantage point. He wasn't sure who it was so one of his .357's was drawn, but he holstered it when he caught enough of a glance to see who it was. In barely a whisper, he spoke , " About time someone bloody well got here, I was starting to think I was gonna have to go back to that party."

*she has left the leg braces behind in favor of moving quieter without them. she simply gives a faint grin at Khris and then points out another figure .. and moves that way with a whispered ' ... Tiger ... '
[ in case anyone wants to know how she did it .. she spat the booze into an empty beer bottle .. =p ]

Tiger is flagged down by an intel officer before she gets out of the tent. "Hi there Captain Ling!" the man says in cheerful slurred english. [[Good evening sergeant,]] Tiger responds in Chinese.
"No, no, talk English to me, I need da practice." The man grins back.
"Sure, Link," she smiles using his nickname in English.
"Thanks, and thanks for the party!" Link says.
"Don't thank me, thank the commander," Tiger demures.
"Sure," Link winks, "the commander. He hasn't had nearly as many great ideas as you! Remember the Joint Training Exercise?"
"Yes," Tiger says shortly.
"So who is coming after us here? India? Russia?" Link asks eagerly.
"Nobody." Tiger responds.
"Ok," Link laughs clearly not convinced, "well we got your back when nobody comes Captain."
Tiger stalks off as the intel officer raises his drink. Her guide had been hauled away earlier by a couple escorts and she easily made her way to the meeting place.
"Been here long?" She asks the others.

Dante sits back in the corner and looks extremely gloomy as the others party. He thinks that by looking depressed and angry his escort will want to leave him and go party. As his escort gets more and more distracted he begins to slide towards the back of the tent. He lifts the back of the tent and slides out as soon as he gets a chance. He slinks out the back and makes his way to the meeting place. He turns on his internal nightvision (isp 4) and continues to make his way towards the others.

" Long enough." Khris admitted as he saw Dante approaching. " When do we head out? Last thing we need is one of those drunks to spot us. "

* Jeckle gives a soft snort and then moves so her tracks will not remain in the damp sand and will be mixed in with the other tracks in the area* ' .. i thought your kind was used to long waits in silence .. ' *giving Khris a quick look and a shake of the head*

" Have you ever heard me be silent?" Khris responded sharply. " Besides, waiting on a target is alot harder than you obviously think. "

* Jeckle says nothing as she moves along the beach with the others. she's silent because it helps her think. it doesn't help to give the noisy irish man more ammunition to fire back at her. so better be the silent one that gets things done .. than the noisy one that cuases problems and gets the group killed

Dante shrugs as he approaches the group. "I had to wait for my goon to dislike being around me enough that he wouldn't follow when I left. Its not easy to do, I'm a very likable person you know. I'm ready for action though."

" You are? Since when?" Khris smirked, changing targets as Dante set himself up.

Dante shrugs his shoulders and says, "meh, was going to try, but I think it would take too much effort. Dark and brooding is easier to pull off."

" Now don't get too gloomy," Khris warned with a smirk, " or people will think you and Jeckle are related or something."
