just because they had no idea what you planned to do next doesn't mean YOU had any idea either

Yes, of course. You were going to use the most difficult plan to defend against: no plan at all. They'd never see it coming!

Except they'd apparently seen something coming, because when you arrived and stepped out of the truck, you were greeted, not with the fanfare of a conquering hero, but by the barrels of two dozen rifles. Too many for a twenty-one gun salute, you couldn't help but notice.

Maybe it would have been a good idea to have a plan for this after all. But you didn't have much time to consider that, because a superior officer was marching towards you and demanding to know just why it had taken you so damn long to do anything, you had better have one hell of a report for him.

Of course, since you'd been kind of winging this whole job from the beginning, you didn't actually have a report. You were going to need a really, really good excuse to get out of this bind.

Now, what was it you told the commanding officer again?
