"Son of a manicorn!" the Captain yelled.
"Son of a manicorn, sir, what's a manicorn?" asked Lt. Brad.
"It's a Greek word for mermaid." The Captain explained.
"No its not, it's a big mammal that swims." retorted Paul.
"I wish I was a big mammal that swims" Frank thought aloud.
"No, it's a Greek mermaid" the Captain said.
"Actually it's a-" Lt. Brad started before being cut off by the captain
"It's a mermaid"
"No, it's a swimming mammal"
"Mermaid"
"mammal"
"Um.... sir maybe the definition of a manicorn is not the most important thing right now, I think that the lack of any transportation is much more pressing," Lt. Brad said before the Captain could speak another word. "Sir, we might have trouble completing our mission without a vehicle."
"You know what Lieutenant, you might be right, we might have some trouble setting up a permeant military base here without a pelican to fly to and from the HQ."
"No pelican? That means I have no job, what am I supposed to do without something to pilot? asked a frantic Paul.
"Lucky sir the base is due to be deploy in less than half an hour." Lt.Brad said ignoring Paul.
"Does the base come with a radio?" the Captain calmly asked.
"Radio? RADIO? Who cares about a radio, I need something to pilot, argggggg" Paul ran over to the tents.
"I'm not sure sir, the base isn't really design to be a communicate base." Lt. Brad said.
"Well who's the expert on deployable bases?" the Captain asked.
"James sir."
"Well go get him"
"He's missing"
"Find him"
"We tried sir"
"Radio HQ"
"The radio's dead sir"
"Use the backup on the Pelican"
"The Pelican is destroyed sir"
"How?"
"We don't know sir"
"Well find out"
"We're trying sir"
"Not hard enough"
"If you say so sir." Lt. Brad said before walking off, Private Curtis walked up and said
"Sir, with the Pelican go we have no back-up ammo, it was James job to carry the ammo, and the Pelican held the extra, so until the base arrives we only have the ammo in our guns"
"We who ever is out there is a coward, they'll never attack us if we stick together" the Captain assured Curtis
"If you say so Captain" Curtis said, still nervous
"Son it'll be a cold day in he-" the Captain started before being cut off by a gun shot, KAPOKUA, Curtis fell to ground and grabbed his leg, another shot rang out, the bullet wizzed passed where the privates head was just seconds before.
The Captain grabbed the private and pulled him behind a rock, a third shot, where the Captain had just been standing. The Captain propped Curtis up against the rock tore open the privates pants where the bullet had hit.
"It's a clean shot, the bullet went straight through," the Captain said "FRANK, FRANK, GET OVER HERE MAN DOWN," The Captain shouted before turning back to the private "Don't worry son, you'll get through this son" the captain said reasurily.
"Not this time Captain, I followed you on many adventures, but into the great unknown mystery, I go first Captain" Curtis said before dying, The Captain stood up and took a step back, a shot rang out and hit him in the shoulder knocking him backwards, where he hit a rock, knocked himself out on. The medic, Frank, ran up and check the Captain, seeing was alive and not bleeding much and he check the private, who had just passed out. He started mending the wounds of the private.
Lt.Brad and Paul ran up, and using what was left of the bullets, scared off the mysterious sniper.
"Ok, Ok, maybe it was a little silly of me to think that Curtis died of a bullet wound to the leg after left than a minute" The Captain said. It was two hours later and the Captain and the rest of the team, save Curtis, were in the de-briefing room of the base.
"I'm glad you finally understand, I'm going to check up on Curtis." Frank said, Paul followed him out.
"Lt. Brad report, what happened out there" asked the Captain.
"Well its wasn't a Covenant rifle, and it wasn't a standard Military Rifle, but it had metal shells, other than that we know nothing."
"And what about a radio?" the Captain asked
"The base has one but the antenna was damage in the landing." Lt. Brad.
"I see and what of our missing solider?"
"Well sir if you want my honest opinion I think we'll never see him again." Lt. Brad said, with that the door to the room opened and in stumbled a man in rangy clothes that hung to his body and a thick unshaven beard, Lt. Brad pointed his gun at the man, the man put his hands in the air and said in a raspy voice,
"Cap'n it's me, Private James."
