Codper had a large map of the Island spread across the hood of a Humvee. A dozen locations were circled in an odd misshapen circle. 
A walkie-talkie chirped several times. 
Codper grabbed it, “Alpha-base, ready.” 
The voice crackled several times, “Outpost four and five are negative. Moving to post seven. Post one and twelve last. Over.” 
Codper X’ed out the circles marked four and five on the map. Seven, one, and twelve were left.

Grenier held up a handgun that was converted to shooting tranquilizer darts. “This is called a magazine and it holds six darts.” He pulled a bullet out from the magazine. “This thin covering breaks away the moment the bullet leaves the barrel.” He pointed to the front end on the gun. “You squeeze the trigger toward you to fire the gun. The gun will kick a little, so you have to hold it firmly in your hand.” He placed the magazine into the pistol grip. Slide back on the barrel and let it slide forward. He took the gun off safety, aimed at the far wall of the storage room and squeezed the trigger. 
Tutu and the others jumped from the gun’s bark. 
“Outside the gun won’t sound as loud.” He walked over to a black chest marked ‘weapon accessories’ and opened it. He pulled out plastic eye protectors and headphones for the Gemps. The humans got earplugs. 
Steve and Kelly helped Oscar and the Gemps with their headphones. 
“Tutu, you first. I want to show you how to fire this gun.” 
Tutu slowly walked over. He understood that squeezing the trigger made it bark, but he was still apprehensive enough to eye it cautiously.
Grenier positioned Tutu with the gun in his hands. 
“Tutu, place your index finger here along the barrel.” He tapped Tutu’s index finger. “Get a firm grip. It will jump out of your hands if you hold it too lightly.” He made sure Tutu had a firm grip. “Place the tip of your index finger on the trigger.” He had to push the finger tip over the trigger. “Pull the tip of your index finger toward . . .” 
BANG!!! 
Tutu nearly dropped the gun. 
“Very good. Do it again.” 
Bang!!! 
Tutu did not jump as dramatic as before. 
“Better. Fire again.” 
Bang. 
Grenier nodded. “Fire again, but this time on your own.” 
Tutu did and he liked it. 
Grenier went through the steps with the other Gemps. 
Feme dropped the weapon once. 
Mos dropped it three times. 
Kiri and Hela fired the weapon like pros. 
Grenier, satisfied the Gemps could fire the weapon without killing themselves, moved to the next stage. Teaching them how to aim and to safely carry the gun. Reloading was last. 
 
 
One hour later Grenier decided it was time to break. All his Gemps learned at a phenomenal rate. They all had excellent eyesight and aimed with deadly accuracy. 
“Time to eat.” Grenier said. He walked over to a storage box marked MREs. Pulled a dozen out and handed a pack to each person. He ripped the top off with his teeth and spilled the contents onto the conference table. The Gemps mimicked him. 
Steve opened Oscar’s. 
Fast learners Grenier told himself. Very fast. Almost too fast. As everyone ate he got up and walked over to the weapon’s accessory box. He pulled out communication earpieces. He tapped on a small button on the side of each comm-piece. Only one needed a new battery. He walked over to the table and handed everyone an earpiece, including Oscar. “Tapped this button to turn it on. Tap it again to turn it off. Tap this button to change how loud the talking is.” 
Mos said, “Loud?” 
Grenier nodded. He tapped his piece on and placed it in his right ear. The back wrap hooked nicely over his ear. He positioned the mike close to his mouth. 
Mos did the same thing. 
“Can you hear me?” 
Mos ripped the piece away from his ear. 
“That is loud. Tap this button to make the noise softer.” 
Mos put the piece back on and tapped the volume button. 
“How is this?” Grenier asked. 
Mos had the volume down to 2. “Does not hurt. Sound normal like you are next to me.” 
Grenier nodded. Quick study. “Alright everyone. Place your comm-pieces on and adjust the volume.” 
Kelly helped Oscar with his comm-piece. 
The chimp grunted several times and moved his mouth like he was talking. 
Steve scratched the top of his head. 
“Now that we have been fed, can safely shot our weapons, and have communication here is what we are going to do.” He looked around at the stern expressions around him. “We are outnumbered and out gunned. But we have the element of surprise on our side. The bad humans think we can’t fight back. We can and we will. I’ll make this plan simple. We shoot as many of them as we can. Go for the arms, stomach, and legs, please. Not the head.” 
Kiri asked, “Will they be dead?” 
“If you shoot the head, yes. But we want them to fall asleep. That’s what the bullets do. They are special bullets. The bad humans have to be punished. Killing them is not a punishment.” 
“Sleeping is not a punishment.” Tutu responded. 
“True, but when they wake up they will be put into a cage for a very long time. They will not be able to walk freely or see the sun or the moon. The cage is a little bigger than your shelter.” 
Hela and Feme gasped. “That is bad.” 
The proximity alarm went off.
