Lennox and his team had been trekking for several hours, or days, in the hot desert in Qatar. The village was now several yards away. His suit felt heavy, his muscles ached, his head was damp in sweat, and he was down to his last few drops of water. All around his men were panting and breathing loudly, their bodies slouching and dripping liquid under the scorching sun.

Luckily, there was a water pump next to the large telephone line nearby. The group stopped and began to refill. Lennox took a swig from his container and offered some to Mahfouz, who took it and drank it, before handing it back.

Lennox: "Let's hope this telephone line works." He muttered out loud. Epps took some water and poured over his head.

Suddenly, there was a thumping sound under the soldiers. Coming in from behind them, sprays of sand shot into the air and headed straight for the sign. It hit one of the legs holding it up, and the sprays of sand stopped but the sign wobbled.

Lennox: "Hey, watch out!" He shouted to his men, pulling Mahfouz behind him as the sign began to tilt.

Epps: "Head ups!" He cried out, running out from the sign. "Whoa!"

With a careen, the sign fell, sending up a cloud of white sand into the air. Donnelly, who didn't move through the entire thing, slowly turned his head at the sound of the sign hitting the sand.

Donnelly: "What the heck was that?" He questioned Fig, who was looking down at the sign

Donnelly: "What the heck was that?" He questioned Fig, who was looking down at the sign. Fig answered in his Spanish tongue with hand-motions. "English, dude." He sighed annoyed, not understanding a word Fig said as usual. He turned turned around again to look out over the sand. "English."

Lennox checked his ammo, then looked around for any sign of movement. Right behind him, unknowingly, a multi-spiked metal tail rose out of the sand and hovered behind his back.
