Ivy and Chip work on removing the anklets and reactivating them, closing them without locking them. Yeager then works on removing the door hinges. Ivy needs to keep it standing in place until the first group is ready to leave. Web and Yeager each take half of the anklets. Meanwhile, I sneak up to the road, while the robot’s facing the other direction. When the robot moves past the cage, heading towards the road, Watkins, Kenji, Web, and Vinny sneak out the door to between the cage and rockwall. When the robot moves past the cage, heading towards the garbage piles, the four sneak out to the road where I will be waiting with weapons.
The second group, Laura, Quintan, and Chip, repeat the sneaking out process. Then, the third group, the married couple, Ivy, and Yeager, repeat the sneaking out process. Ivy stays the whole time to keep the door closed, if necessary, and to be ready to throw stuff at the robot, should it spot people or an alarm of some kind be raised. Yeager should also be ready to throw and open one of the anklet bombs at the robot.
Should the twins be awoken and brought out, Web and Yeager should use the anklet bombs to attack them while most of the rest of us focus on Pa. I don’t think killing Pa will stop the twins, but I do think it will stop Beulah and possibly stop Jeremiah.
If we try smaller groups, I think it will cause problems with the other four slaves.
Of course, since night one, we’ve been planning in Spanish. Also, I NEVER ONCE mention my weapons on the comm.
Sound good? Any additions? Alterations?

I’m not convinced they are listening. They’d know you guys have equipment in the cage. They’d know I was nearby, with a range of two miles. Why not simply send a twin and the wolf out to track and capture me? It would be simpler than setting up an elaborate capture involving a prisoner escape. Plus, if they took your equipment, it’d make it that much harder for you to escape.
Also, I’m not convinced there are cameras, now that I think about it. Why post a robot sentry if you have cameras around? Why post cameras when there are working bombs attached to the prisoners’ ankles? And, if you know the bombs are deactivated, why not just reactivate them, in such a way as they can’t be deactivated, which, if they took the equipment, you couldn’t?

I wasn’t trying to rewrite time; I thought we had been. I was simply restating what I had thought we had been doing. You’re communicating with Watkins and the others in English. Over the comms, we’re speaking Spanish. So, when did we start? Day 2? Day 3?

I know that I was not there, however, I think Sarah’s first comments to her own post (how weird is that) make sense.
BTW, Web does not speak Spanish either, or if he did, he has forgotten it.

Our plan is not fool-proof, nor do I think that all of us will get out without getting caught. However, at least most of us will be armed and free, all able to attack. We’d take out the robot. We’d have at least one twin to deal with immediately. The other twin is still hurt. And, then, when we’re losing, we all retreat into the desert and Kingman and cover. Together. And armed. To replan and re-attack to get our equipment. Hopefully, they pursue us into Kingman, where we can lay a trap for them. Either way, we’re now free and armed and together. And, can control at least a little of the situation.

There was some concern that our plan is hasty. Also, that the children were listening in to our plans and relaying the information to Beulah. There’s concern that the children will start screaming if escape is attempted. Also concern that the escape will be attempted with all of our equipment left behind.
What if the escape was put off one more day? The group eats as little food as possible (bringing along what’s left AND bringing me some as I am completely out of food and water). Any small items that can be grabbed during work can be grabbed. This also gives someone a chance to sneak over to the vehicle and get the hand without alerting any possible cameras working at night or damaging the escape by getting sighted.
If the group wants to abort this plan and adapt a divide and conquer plan, that’s fine. However, Dyami will not wait quietly out in the desert. She’s out of food. If no action is taken with 24 hours, she will attack herself and probably get captured. So, any changes to the plan should be made quickly.

Plus, someone or someones can sneak out to me and grab some of the smaller weapons to hide on themselves and sneak them into the cage to arm more of you immediately. I also think that the escape should be executed right before sunrise as none of you have the ability to see in the dark and they do. The time we gain by the surprise escape would be lost by going slowly in the dark.

I think that the longer we wait to try and get out, the worse off we are.
