SUMMARY: Infiltrating the Fortress.
DATE: 10/24/2004
NOTE: This is part of my post-col drabbleverse that 
started with 'The City and the Stars.'


We've made our way carefully into the city, avoiding 
patrols and traps that we've painstakingly mapped out 
over six months of surveillance.  

Before us now is the huge Fortress, the 
administration/assimilation/incineration compound 
erected by the Others.  It covers the entire National 
Mall, stretching higher than the Washington Monument 
used to.  None of us has been inside.

I count the seconds, then signal Doggett forward to 
the door.  In no time it's open, and he waves us 
ahead: Scully first, then Will, then Monica, finally 
me.

The door hisses shut behind us.  All's quiet and 
dark.  We made it.

So far.
