"Ok so now we need to look for another base." James said. "I thought we would go back when it's late." Michelle said. "It isn't late, so we can look for another base." James said. "Can we at least use the ship to go locate the next base? That battle worn me out. I bet it worn all you out too." Michelle said. "It did for me. Well do you guys want to use the ship to find the next base?" James asked. "Yes." Everyone said in sync with each other. "Ok then let's go." James said. They walked out of the base filled with bloodshed and went back to the ship.

~One hour later~

"We still haven't found a base..." Michelle said. "I know. Once we find one you can rest. We all deserve a rest." James said. "Wait guys who are the bad ones in this conflict here? Us or them?" Jtracia asked. "It depends on perspective. These guys are trying to protect each other to my knowledge, while we're trying to get something that's possibly on this planet to protect us from giant threats like the Hive." Tony said. "Wait we still haven't found out if an artifact is on this planet or not?" Jtracia asked. "Don't worry. I'll "politely" ask someone at the next base if an artifact is on this planet!" Michelle said. "Don't be so harsh this time. You scared me a bit." Jtracia said. "No promises." Michelle said.

"I see a base! Two in a row now!" Elias said. "That base looks bigger than the last one and seems heavily secured. We need a new plan." James said. "What should it be?" Tony asked. "We need to shut down the security systems. There's a power grid a kilometer away from here. Elias has the most skill when it comes to machines and electricity, so he should shut it down." James said. "Yes I'm doing something important!" Elias said happily. "We also need to sneak in on different sides. One team should be Tony, Jtarcia, and Jacob, while the other is Michelle, me, and Elias when he gets done shutting down the power." James said. "Ok sounds good. We meet up in the center of the base?" Tony asked. "Yes. I also got flashlight attachments so we can put them on our rifles." James said as he passed everyone a flashlight attachment. "We'll commence our new plan in a few minutes. We need to prepare a bit more." James said.
