Mission:- Get over flight and scope out the area.
Stormshadow is somewhat concerned by the presence of a rather fat man on the beach walking two very ferocious looking dogs (well, ferocious looking if you are only 3 3/4 inch tall). He feels he needs to get a better vantage point to fully suss out the situation...
From this vantage point (using the special eyes in the back of his head technique taught to him by the previous 30 generations of Assasins from whom he decended) he is able to ascertain that the rotund man and his canine companions pose no threat to one as talented as he - even if he is a bit yellow, and only has one of his swords with him...
...he therefore just hangs around on the beach having scared away his lard assed foe, and generally enjoys his almost fully intact Cobra emblem on his uniform (oblivious to the fact that his logo would be somewhat less intact after three weeks of living in my trouser pocket!)...
...BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!...after all of that relaxing, lulled into somewhat of a false sense of security by his so easily despatching the chubby chap and feeling the effects of jet lag, Stormshadow was nowhere near prepared to encounter such a fearsome foe as SteveD's better half this early into his mission! BUGGER!!!! And so early into the Mission too!!!!....
Luckily, our hero used his special ninja skills to, in the finest Monty Python tradition, RUN AWAY!!!!! to carry on his mission. Little did SteveD's other half know the role she would ultimately play in Stormie's Secret Mission, and how she would come to be grateful for his presence on the holiday (sorry - Mission)...
