Eli watched as the others talked. He was very skilled at lip reading, but even still, he didn't know what they were talking about. He didn't think [i]they[/i] knew what they were talking about, either. So he hung back from the crowd and looked down the valley at the flight pad. He noted two control towers, probably there to keep air traffic in check. A few ETs moved around the base like little ants. He could tell they were all armed, probably with high tech guns. Eli noticed as a pair approached the base, pausing for a second outside of it, as if waiting for a command, and then continuing onto the pad. Was there an invisible security system of some sort? It wouldn't surprise him; he's seen quite a bit of their technology since they'd arrived.

Eli turned when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Beau was a good leader, he decided. Eli tilted his head in thought at the man's question, then plopped down on the ground and grabbed a stick. He began to draw the base in the dirt.
"I think they have some kind of force field around the base," He said, drawing a circle around the base to illustrate this. "So running in and causing a scene probably isn't the best idea. I don't think we'll get far. But if we lure them out, then they would have to shut down the force field, and then we can get inside." He paused, looking around at the group and trying to remember what their powers were.

"We could put Alex here," He said, making a little dot off to the side of the top corner of the base, "He's got blasty fire powers, so he could get their attention by looking like a threat. When they come out to get him, Murry can get his back. When they shake the ETs, they can come back and rejoin us. And while they do that, we can go into the base and take the control towers. I think those are pretty important." He circled the towers, shown as sticks in the dirt. "I think Todd could help us at that point. If he can get inside one of those ships, he could probably use his powers to figure it out, right? And he can cover us from the air. And then you, me, Darren, and Daily can take the control towers and get that force field back up once everyone is inside, that way, the ETs can't get back in. Then we clear out whatever is left inside and it's ours." 

He looked back up at Beau to see if he was following all this.
