(OOC: An entire platoon on gate guard duty? Whoa!)<br/><br/>Andy picked up his things on the way, and slowed down as he approached the base area. He could spot the sentries but since he couldn't do anything about them, he rode on. He'd considewred going in with his helemt visor down but he'd have to reveal himself sooner or later, and he wanted to go in as openly as possible.<br/><br/>He consulted the GPS, according to the street map, the next corner should take them on to the road way that led up to the dockyard. He drove around the corner, into sight of the gatehouse and the patrol. If those outlying sentries were any use, they'd already be alerted.<br/><br/>He slowed to a stop, partway round towards them, and about 30 metres away. Over his shoulder to May he said, "I have to do this. If they react wrongly, make your getaway."<br/><br/>Then he got off the bike, and slowly removed his helmet, looking at the guards. "Hello the gate! I have important news about one of your patrols, and I need to see someone in charge!"
