After three days of staying under cover through daylight hours, and traveling during darkness, Schwartz and Silberberg arrive at their designated point around 0100 hours on the fourth night. No Iranians have appeared along the way to give them any trouble.
“Let’s take a break here, Mark,” Schwartz suggests, “and recon the area to find the most advantageous spot for us to set up. We need to keep within a range that’ll allow us to obtain emissions readings and be able to record conversations.”
“I’d like to suggest that when we leave here,” Silberberg counters, “we take a dip in that body of water back where we filled our canteens. I don’t know about you, but I feel filthy.”
Schwartz is an easy sell. “Agreed. It’ll be a long time before we see our next shower.”
Viewing through night vision binoculars, they agree on a spot that will put them within the range they need, a natural rise in the desert that offers them some height, allowing them to observe what they believe is the front entrance of the facility.
Halfway up the rise, they dig out an area just large enough for them to maneuver around each other. During daylight, they’ll record any readings they can obtain and attempt to record voice conversations as well. During the night, they’ll move in closer to the facility to obtain more information.
Schwartz consults his watch. “It is almost 0415, Mark. Let’s set up the camo cover and you catch some shut eye.” Silberberg is entirely willing to sign on to this plan.
