Good. He snuck forward and slowly made his way over to the one he had selected. Standing up behind the man after crawling prone through the sand. He used a small knife to cut into the power unit in this one's chest. There was a spark from the front and Tank slowly lowered the man to the ground using his knife.
The clothing fit poorly. Tank wasn't exactly the smallest cyborg and even though this one had been close, metal parts stood out where they shouldn't have.
It will have to be ok, he thought.
"Ready to go?" Jose asked through the team's private radio network.
"I'm all dolled up and ready for the party," came Mike's reply.
"Yes," Tank said.
Jose started walking towards the factory. Most of the men in the big camp outside would not recognize Jose and Mike for what they were unless they looked closely, but Tank was another story. twenty years of modifications had given him a more than inhuman look. He would be easy to spot if he wasn't careful.
Tank edged around the side of the camp and came to an alleyway of darkness that spread between the tents and a few of the small fires the army of men were burning.
He snuck down the alley and stopped. Movement to the left. A man stepped out and looked straight at him. There was a moment as that one's eyes adjusted to the new shape in the darkness.
Tank didn't hesitate. He kicked the man in the leg and stabbed him in the side of the head. The man rolled to the ground with a thump.
Tank looked around. Did anyone hear that? He hoped not.
