The plan is simple:
The lost boys do their thing in the trees after sunrise, hopefully getting the attention of the army or whatever they are. Getting them out of the prison.
Then we use the Hummer's fire power, untested as yet, I might add, but if it works; will be one hell of an advantage. The rest of the Protectors forming a kill zone around that, and mow down as many of their men as they can. When they run. We follow.
I hope.
It is an ugly plan and has no honor but, as far as I can tell no one here really care about honor to the enemy. Not today.
With a surprising amount of professionalism Napoleon has us make our way to what he calls the staging site. We are less the a ½ mile out from the 5 mile marker. Right in the middle of what used to be a road. He has timed everything out so that the sun is just starting to come up when we get there.
With a flick of his wrist he has the Boys go up into the big old trees that line the road.
They start making their way to the entrance. The rest of them are set up in good hiding place to shoot from.

"Yeah that would figure," He nods knowingly and rubs a finger over his lips.
"I see," I wait for him to elaborate only he doesn't. So I looking him in the eye. " so this is a one way or two way communicating with the command back in the heart of your empire?"
He looks for a moment like he is going to argue with me calling it "his" empire, he holds back. I am guessing the boys have told him about my disciplinary action earlier.
Rich clears his throat and continues. "From what I can remember, outposts can only check in once a day. Something about being in the foot print on the shadow of the orbit."
"This sounds very funky to me," I say and then add. "I remember you could get satellite TV 24/7. So unless the empire is playing games even with it's own people. Or they are very limited in their resources. Either way, I do believe it can work for us."
Rich looks at me in horror that I say something about his Empire.
