Zach leaped from the copter, wind against his face. He stared down, looking for the base he was supposed to be infiltrating. Spotting a possible ait vent, Zach deployed his parachute. He knew it would be a difficult landing due to the trees. His chute could easily catch a treetop, so he decided to try something new. As soon as he was at the trees elevation, he cut off his parachute while swinging in the direction of a tree. Catching a tree branch, he watched his chute get hung on a limb. Happy with his decision, Zach climbed down the tree to the air vent. He got out a small device to band the bars open. Before entering the vent, he used his comm device to set the area as a pick-up zone. With one foot in, he stepped back out for a moment and secured his glass cutter. He then slowly climbed down into the base. He eventually reached the ventilation of the base. Crawling through it, he saw two guards below him. "This one's going to be tricky," he thought. As he was thinking of a plan of attack, he began to hear the vents creaking. "Uh oh..." He felt the metal begin to bend beneath him. He slowly began to crawl backwards in the vent. "What was that, eh?" The guards heard the noises, too. Zach continued backing out, until the entire vent system fell beneath him. Zach fell on top of the guards. Thinking quickly, Zach took a guards uniform and put the guards in a nearby closet. He got into the clothes as quickly as he could. As soon as the last button was fastened, he heard guards coming down the hall. "What happened here, eh?" one guard asked. "Well," Zach said, "the vent here had a loose screw in it, so I decided I'd tighten it. The whole thing nearly fell on me when I touched it. Good thing no one was hurt, huh?" The guards stared at him blankly. "I mean 'eh'." "Oh, OK," said the guards. "We'll get someone from maintainance to clean up this mess. You just get back to work, eh?" "Of course," said Zach as he walked down the hall.
