Fully Prepared Army VS Unexpected Enemy

Below here is the dramatization of my exam today. The real story reside below this one marked with a big "TRANSLATION". Please sit back and relax, then enjoy the story :

Supreme Commander's on his room, preparing strategies while nervously waiting for good news to come. He need it to win. He need it to prevent his men from dying for nothing. BRRAAAKK!!! The door suddenly slammed and break the silent. The commander stand up behind his desk with tense look on his face. "Sir, commander, sir!" The man slammed the door walk fast across the room while saluting at the Commander, "Scout team has return!" At last, the Commander thought. This is what he has been waiting for. He walk out the room, taking his hat on the way out.



On the briefing room, a handfull of soldiers are sitting with pieces of paper on the table in front of them. They suddenly stand up and saluting when the door open and the commander comes in, "SIR!" "At ease," The commander returns their salute and tell them to sit back again. "Any good news?" The commander asked nervously. "This is it", the commander think, "if the news' no good, we're doomed." One soldier, looks like the team leader, stand and start his report, "SIR! We successfully infiltrated enemy's base and able to collected important info concerning enemy's supplies, condition, preparation, equipment, and also their numbers and strategies, SIR!" "Carry on," the commander really focused now. This is the info that he needed. The soldier continue and start telling the data they've collected with all they might. Slowly but sure, a smile, more like a grin, can be seen on commander's face.

"And that's the end of our report, SIR!" The commander's eyes sparkling with confident. "This battle," he thought, "we can win this!" "Good job, soldiers! You people deserve a medal! Now, go get some rest. Leave the rest to the others. DISMISSED!" "SIR, YES SIR!" They all saluted for a while and start leaving the room. The commander call his vice, "Call every damn soldiers that are here to battle. We will begin the war!"

Not so long, the briefing room is full, filled with all available soldiers from the entire base. After hearing all reports from each team leader, the vice go to the commander, "Everyone is here sir, except for the scout team." Hearing that, the commander stands. Almost instanteously all the chatters stop and the room become as quiet as a grave. "For quite some time we have been in a war with them," he start to talk, "But TONIGHT!! Everything will be different! We have their secret right on our hands! And this time, we will their arse to kingdom come!!" "YEAAAAHHH!!!!" After the opening speech, the commander start giving out enemy's intel and discussed about strategies....

The moon shine brightly without any cloud to cover it. Under the moon shine, between the tall trees and the high grass, an army is marching. They all are ready for the war. They've heard the intel and have a good strategies. They really sure to win this. "Eagle to Mother, come in Mother." "This is Mother, what's your status?" "We can see the enemy's base from here. There is no activity that can be seen. Most probably just hit the bed. Over. "Good. Just like what we have expected. The intel was right. Continue with our plan. Over." "Understood. Over and out."

The army then divided into several group. They move out to surround the base. But, before even reach half of their destination, a group of enemy's soldiers sprung out from no where, "IT'S AN AMBUSH!!!!" The silent night then start to become hectic. The enemy sudden attacks leave many of the soldiers unprepared and were shot down. However, they are fully prepared, the ambush doesn't stop them. They may have lost many, but they manage to push the enemy back to their base. "This is Rabbit. Come in Mother.""This is Mother. What the status?""We were ambushed. Seems they have expected us. We lost team Eagle and team Crow, but we managed to push them back. Over.""Good. Keep push them back. We can win this. Over.""Roger! Over and...." Rabbit suddenly stop speaking when a new sound can be heard. A familiar sound indeed, but the soldiers refuse to accept the truth, because it was not mentioned on the briefing. They finally believe it when finally the source of the sound appears before their very eyes.

"Rabbit? Come in Rabbit.""This is Rabbit. Mother, we are in a deep trouble.""Can you explain more, go****mit! Do you think I can see anything from here?!""It's an Apache, sir. They have an Apache." "What!?" An Apache, a chopper designed for war. The commander's speechless. He didn't foresee this. The intel says nothing about an Apache. This is bad. Sweat started to cover his forehead as he try to find a way to turn this to victory.

Without any warning, the chopper starts to shoot missiles at the soldiers. "Mother, come in!! The start shooting at us! What's your command?" Silent... Rabbit receive no answer. In the same time, he see his friends shot down by the mighty Apache while he himself try to avoid the attack. They try to fight back, but to no avail. The demolition team was Eagle and Crow, which has been eliminated from the war. They have no chance to win at all. "Mother!" The commander still silent. "Your command, sir?" Another dead body flying and drop in front of Rabbit. "....retreat...." The commander whisper to Rabbit via the radio. "Come again, sir?" It's obvious Rabbit can't hear the command on this war zone. "RETREAT! SAVE AS MANY LIVE AS POSSIBLE!! THAT'S YOUR ORDER SOLDIER!!! COME BACK HER ALIVE OR I KILL YOU MY SELF!!! UNDERSTOOD??"The commander shout with fear on his sound, fear to lost his men. "....Understood Mother. Over and Out..." Rabbit put back his radio and takes a really deep breath. "ALL TEAMS, RETREEEAAAAATTT!!!! FALL BACK, FALL BACK!!" He shout as loud as he can. "RETREAAAT!!" "FALL BACK!!" Every single team leader follows Rabbit to command the message. All of the soldiers run back to their base, trying to save their live. Back in the command room, the commander sit down with pale face. This war, they may have lose it....

TRANSLATION :

Today I have another exam, Multimedia Programming Foundation.  The lecturer already gives us boundary on which will not be out for the exam. It surely help us a lot for sure. It make us can save the time to read another slide of materials. Especially for this one, I was really confident. I went as far as creating my own summary of all materials. It took me around 3 hours to complete it, and sure, it help me to learn more easily. Me and my friends even went into a 2 hours long discussion about one part of the subject. This discussion was important and finished at 3.00 AM, yet the exam start at 8.00 AM. Which mean that I only have less than 4 hour for sleep.

In the morning, I came to campus with confident. I already write down all needed material that was given by the lecturer and from the university itself. I already study to a great length, to the point that I came without any nervous feeling on me.

BUT, inside, I laughed when I read the Essay question. Not because it's easy, but because there are one question that haven't been taught at all in my class and one question that surely haven't been taught but at least I have a bit view on how to do it.

When we out from the room, everyone was confused about the essay. No one write their answer with confident. If this kind of things happen, who's to blame? The Intel of course... I've already read all the material, yet no mention about that single question....

I've tried my best to write down a make-believe answer. Not really a true answer, but rather I-write-down-whatever-I-thought-will-be-related-to-this-even-if-only-a-little kind of question. Well, let's see the result in a few weeks >.<

This is Benard reporting, see you on the next post!!
AAAAAANNNNNNNNNDDDDDD CUT!!!!!!
