Turn_9: PROBE.IamanElfCollaboratorCannot respond, repeat, cannot respond. You'll have to do this one on your own Beetle Two-One. Out.A second transmission comes in over the infiltration team's band.
Archer One-One this is..whats our call sign?..this is Beetle Prime, I need a flyover of the mission area. If the situation gets hot, it is your call whether to provide CAS. If you have to pull back request you go assist the perimeter team. Over.alamoesYou wave the squad forward and you move together into the tree line overlooking the farm.
Alright team, let's do this one by the numbers.Underhill and Smith run quietly through the grass towards the farmhouse, reaching it without incident. You can see them peering carefully through the large open windows and one of them turns back to give you a thumbs up.
Vivienne has already removed the pack and is fiddling nervously with the controls.
I'll h-have it ready in a m-m-moment sir. I'm not q-qualified for this equipment.George and Kyle already have the MMG set up and are busy loading a belt of ammunition into the action.
I'll need a minute to calibrate the sights sir. To be perfectly honest its been a while.O'Bryan moves slightly ahead of your position, crouched on one knee and staring into the night. He looks like he knows what he's doing.
You motion Starboard over and he crouches next to you, handing you the receiver to the radio and flicking a switch. You adjust to the overwatch team's frequency and send a request for a flyover.
XantolosYou move up to the tree line. The horizon is specked with red and orange flames as the crops burn in the distance, piercing the gloom that has settled over the wood and illuminating the ground around the farmhouse. Much closer is the barn, looming and silent, its dark red paint singed in places. The commander gives the signal and you grab Underhill. The two of you run in a low crouch across the exposed ground and to the barn. Underhill comes up next to you and sticks his head through the lowest window. It doesn't get blown off and you surmise that the ground floor is empty, though you have yet to check the loft. Underhill gets out of sight again and nods at you, and you turn to give the others a thumbs up. You look back at Underhill, wondering what to do next.
scapheapYou set up next to the Commander, handing him the radio receiver and watching the riflemen advance.
GreatWyrmGoldYou step into the trees and wait for the Commander to survey the area. He points at Smith, then at the barn. Smith turns and touches you on the arm, jerking his head towards the barn. You nod and follow him closely, staying as low as possible. You make it to the side of the barn without being cut down and you take a look inside. The room is dark and the ground is covered in straw. There is a single stall just across from you and the gate creaks in the frosty gust emanating from the open barn door. You get back down and signal to Smith that its clear.
GotdamnmiracleThe Command group and machine gun team set up atop the hill while the riflemen stealth across to the barn. You move down the slope just ahead of the trees and drop to one knee, watching the area around the barn.
