: "Any rumor that the pod can defend itself? I'd be worried about being seen by it if it has any countermeasures..."
The Sergeant just shrugs.
: I just told you all we know about it. Big thing. Lots of cameras.

Corporal Rask turns around and gestures to his underslung grenade launcher.
: Besides, I'd like to see that thing hold up to this baby!

Markus waits for the Helian drone to make the mistake of climbing further, ever wary of its capabilities.
The splash timer freezes and disappears from Lorens' HUD. "Of course it was going to mask itself from the shot. forget."

Lorens keeps the radar slaved to the Hyperion. He warms up the Tukreb's IRST and starts looking for the target on infrared.
The Hyperion remains at a very low altitude, just above the buildings.

6 turns away from Phobos.

Bell keeps walking towards the crash site.

Corporal Rask turns around and gestures to his underslung grenade launcher.

Tippy continues to walk towards the objectives as well
:"I don't remember anything in the briefing saying we're suppose to destroy it. They probably want something out of it, otherwise we would just be looking for Gus and blow these things up from the air."

"Did anyone bring some sort of camera? Photos would be valuable to intel if we can't bring anything else back."

Lorens slaves the IRST to the Hyperion and points his heatseekers to the bandit in preparation.

Tippy continues to walk towards the objectives as well
:"I don't remember anything in the briefing saying we're suppose to destroy it. They probably want something out of it, otherwise we would just be looking for Gus and blow these things up from the air."
One of the privates butts into the conversation, backed up by his squad leader.
: I'd like to think our lives are more important than securing some salvage if said salvage starts trying to kill us.
: Private Gundarsson's right. We try to take it home undamaged if we can, but if it turns out to be a threat then we're going to shoot it until it isn't.

"Did anyone bring some sort of camera? Photos would be valuable to intel if we can't bring anything else back."
: Sarge's got one.

Up ahead, you spot your target sitting in a restaurant parking lot. If you were to draw a straight line between you and it, there would be 20 meters of parking lot (sparse heavy cover in the form of parked cars), then a 20 meter wide road (no cover at all), 24 meters of decorative greenery (light cover in the form of trees and four tiles of heavy cover in the form of a billboard base), and then another 16 meters of parking lot.



Lorens slaves the IRST to the Hyperion and points his heatseekers to the bandit in preparation.
The Hyperion is now in missile range, maintaining its altitude and rapid pace and continuing to make no effort to engage you. 5 turns to Phobos's location.

Tippy raises her rifle at the ready and moves forward to cover behind the nearest car.

"Can this thing still hear us? Like it did in the air?"

: Alright then.

Bell ushers Elu behind the engine block of a car and has it face towards the ground so it can't see what the rest of the squad is doing.

Walter moves up along the side of the parking lot behind some cars while looking around in the area for anything else notable.

Markus takes aim with the P3, locking on with the seekers just to be sure.

"Scorch, I'm going to descend to the bandit's altitude to form a pincer. Can I trust you to be in position to dive down on him when we merge?"


"Alright. Snowman, descending."

The Tukreb drops down to rooftop altitude to face the Helian drone craft head-to-head. Lorens leaves the seekers locked onto the bandit, but holds his fire.

The other troops stop moving around and begin scanning the area for threats.

: He cannot.

Walter moves up along the side of the parking lot behind some cars while looking around in the area for anything else notable.
There isn't much else worth noting.

The Tukreb drops down to rooftop altitude to face the Helian drone craft head-to-head.
The Hyperion begins weaving back and forth in anticipation of an incoming attack.

4 turns to Phobos's location.
