Astra and 'The General'

Her hood was pulled off and she found herself face to face with a tall gaunt man with unkempt mousey hair. The armour he was wearing appeared to be a mishmash of various types, mainly leather. Definately not anyone Astra would consider officer material. He looked Astra up and down with a look that appeared to be a cross between a smirk and a leer.

So you're the Yanqui spy, eh?" He kept playing around with his hands, giving an indication of what he wanted to do, but wouldn't while his men were in the tent. "My, my, they must be slacking. All the better for us!" He gave an extremely grating laugh. Looking at Astra's bewilderment, he snarled, "Don't try that confused act on us. It won't work." Astra tried to say something but was shouted down. "Silence! You'll talk when we want you to." Turning to the man who was Astra's captor, "Go and tie her to the tree. Set armed guards to watch her at all times. I've a feeling she could be trouble."

1. Astra was yanked away, without struggling, wondering what in the name of Diane was going on.
2. She attempted to struggle, but got knocked out again for her trouble.
3. Just then a guard ran into the tent. "Sir! The Yanquis have breached the perimeter! The general glared at Astra. This is your doing!" he growled.
