This place definitely made the Core look good. Rolling her gear down onto the street, Juliette switched to the walker mode and moved over beside the crumbled wall of a ruined building. "Switching to low-light," she reported, scanning the area carefully as she knelt the gear down to reduce it's profile against the night sky. A moment later Shamus and Keavy had exited the Barnaby as well, and Lemanz declared the immediate area clear of threats. "Form up in a vee," Juliette commanded, tromping back over in her heavily armored Sidewinder. "I'll take point ahead of the jeep. Shamus, take the left side, Keavy, you right. Stay wide but within twenty or thirty meters of the vehicle -- we need to keep it between us. Run as quiet and dark as you can -- no floods unless you see something deserving of your full attention. Colonel, you and Terry need to stay sharp-eyed too. Radio if you see anything; otherwise try to stay within the protective triangle we're forming." Controlling her machine with practiced ease, the former Republican soldier hefted her heavy paratroop rifle in her gear's hands. "Questions?" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
