The sound of voices echoing in the dark cave woke Sanders from what had felt like a feverish sleep. He could not make out what words they spoke or even what language it was. That was decidedly not a good sign.
In the cave he had taken shelter in, Sanders had managed to make a modest fire to keep warm but didn’t have any food to eat. Sanders was near delirious with hunger and pain. His leg injury was miserable but he managed to push himself up from where he laid out his sleeping bag. He already had his gun as he slept with it in his hands. He limped into what he felt was the most defensible corner and called out to whoever was approaching.
“Stop your approach. This is Captain Sanders Stafford for the Covenant of Allied Forces Air Force and I will use deadly force against potential aggressors. Identify yourselves.”
He cocked his weapon even though he could barely see in the dark for any shooting and waited for their response. Shadows danced along the walls in his little alcove cast about by the tiny fire he made. The sound of his voice and light would likely lead them to him. Perhaps it hadn't been smart to identify himself?
All Sanders knew was his training. That he was supposed to resist being taken and resist any interrogation techniques. The CAF policies for MIA soldiers and POWs were notoriously strict and damn near impossible for a distressed soldier to be expected to adhere to but he could surely try. Sanders was too good-natured of a man to have questioned whether the policies he was trying hard to obey were humane.
