The Base

The night was young, the young men and women on the island were relaxing. It actually felt like a vacation for them instead of a task given to them by their Master.

If there was only one thing that reminded them that there was a mission on hand, it was the young woman that was stuck in the pagoda but they were willing to gloss over it.

Or hardly batted an eye over it.

Instead they had a bonfire as they enjoyed a makeshift barbecue session. A couple of logs were used as a seat for them. They all gathered around the fire.

One of the fresh initiates happily chewed on their steak, one of the gigantic native hogs found in the island. "I thought it would be scary but this isn't actually bad. Honestly feels like our Master decided to give us a vacation."

A few laughs erupted in the group.

"You know the Boss, another one of his wild suspicions—" One began to speak up.
