*A distant thundering can vaguely be heard, like the drumming of hooves on the rocky approach to the fort*
*A hush falls over the fort, as flegionnaires grasp their weapons, their knuckles whitening*

Good job, that man! Now, how accurate are our gunners? Able to shoot off the individual whiskers of a cat at 500 paces?
Break out the spud rifles, men. If the cats approach, give 'em a rapid chipping, but only when you see the... 
... yellows of their eyes?

We 'ave a small number of the special twin barrel hopper fed models Sir but a limited amount of King Edwards until the refleaf column gets here with supplies Sir. The reserve tinned potatos got et by the QSM Sir after one of 'is late night sessions with the Sgt Major.
The refleaf column is already two days overdue Sir, begging your pardon Sir.

Curses! Dam' cats probably took 'em...
Right! No more than one spud per man! Keep fire down to short bursts of French Fries!
Now, what evil plan do the cats have up their big flappy sleeves...

*running ahead of the column, SM climbs a sandbank and stands dramatically in the wind as she scouts ahead with binoculars, her sand-coloured desert coat flapping around her*
Hmmm...I think they've spotted us
*checks to make sure the sticks and dog treats are still in the pouches on her belt, for emergency use only*
*runs back down and continues towards the fort*

*A messenger runs up to Colonel N7*
Crikey... New information, lads; the cats seem to be led by the dastardly Sultana Mushroom of Arabia! It's worse than I feared!
We're going to be in for a scrap, chaps.

*Out in front of the large dust cloud is a smaller dust cloud, moving fast. As it nears, hoofbeats can be heard.*
Clop-clop, clop-clop, clop-clop.
*The cloud and sound approaches the walls, then stops. When the dust settles a few moments later, it reveals a panting figure in a tattered fleagion uninform. He is holding a pair of coconut halves.*
OPEN THE GATES, OPEN THE GATES! LET ME IN!

Well, I hate riding, but...
*grabs a camel from another cat and gallops towards the fort*
