Sheltered from the wind and the snow, three men stood in an igloo, deep in the Canadian Arctic. The stove was lit and the coal was burning low. As the fire was almost out, Gachu James, the ring leader stood up and shifted to coals about to keep the fire going.

"Ok men, this is getting desperate," said Mr. James, "we are losing ground and our tinfoil hats aren't working any more. The Special Forces are gaining ground. We cannot be defeated."

At that point Bolly Shiny raised his head and shivered slightly. Their trek across Nunavut had hit him hard. He was not accustomed to the diet of seal blubber and salted crackers. They had set off from Iqaluit three days earlier after the British Special Forces besieged the city alongside their French Allies. As the tanks loomed into view, he and Gachu had fled under cover of darkeness with an elite squad from the Special Forces in hot pursuit.

Fleeing along the coast of Baffin Island, they met a fellow tinfoil hat wearer, Scrub Person, hidden behind the exploded debris of a Canadian jet fighter. He had fled few days earlier during a French raid on Newfoundland and ran out of food along the way. The three of them, Gachu, Bolly and Scrub Person then made a pact to avenge their attackers by any means necessary. Gachu made plans to disrupt the media, Bolly planned a new party and Scrub took the route of uncovering an alleged coup of the NO WAR alliance.

They trekked for two more nights before getting too tired. At that point, they built an igloo with the few Q1 tools at their disposition, and settled down for a rest.

Their only connection to the New World civilisation was a digital satellite iPhone. They used this to post articles and co-ordinate their plans. However, the three of them were completely unaware to fact that the Special Forces were able to track them through the signals of this device.

As Gachu, Bolly and Scrub sat in their igloo planning their next moves while munching on seal blubber, the Special Forces stood in their sturdy tank just five miles away, and ready to strike.
