Mako had went out to take a walk again. (The villagers don't do anything interesting except being unwashed) She had hear the others on comms and had been looking out for whatever the hell's flying in the sky, though.

"I'm at the village, I'm trying to gain visual on the bogeys. Any idea what the hell these are?

Send out the drone (it's a recon drone so I assume it has night vision) to search for the flying creatures (preferably without being spotted) and try to map their position

Danh calls out to Mako, "They're flying, and they're unnatural, and I think they have something to due with this place's track record of kids that go poof!"
He's still aiming, firing whenever he gets a clear shot.
Or, well, any shot at all.

((Well I meant that Mako might not be able to see the birds with her naked eye, and she just only sent out the drone))

Grunting, Danh shoulders his rifle, and takes aim at the flying creatures.
"I ain't too sure what those things are, but they're not normal, and they're flying over where we live. So fuck 'em."
He wants to make this burst count. Breathing in, and breathing out, he grips the rifle.
Place the finger over the trigger.
And...
...squeeze.
Dahn fires at the small creatures. The frankly massive bullets impact whatever the hell they are and the creatures go splat. Specifically. They explode into gibbets and rain down on the village. Whomever is the janitor is going to have a Wonderful day tomorrow.

Mako had went out to take a walk again. (The villagers don't do anything interesting except being unwashed) She had hear the others on comms and had been looking out for whatever the hell's flying in the sky, though.

Send out the drone (it's a recon drone so I assume it has night vision) to search for the flying creatures (preferably without being spotted) and try to map their position
The recon drone is launched in time to see the small batlike creatures get splattered out of the sky. Doesn't look like there's much left of em.

Amadou startles awake from a restless sleep to the sound of gunfire. Quickly grabbing his gear, he hears the team chatter, looks at the darkness, sees only bursts of automatic fire, and activates night vision.

It's still too early, his BAC fells close to .20...
His eyes are a bit blurry and having some trouble to focus, his tongue was scoured by the Sahara, his stomach has definitively seen better days, and his head seems about to split into at least six parts, but duty, and the team's needs demand him to just go.

Wasting precious seconds, he pops a couple of light analgesics and caffeine and quaffs a big amount of water for the ponding headache that hits him with both blunt hammers behind the head and from the eyeballs to the temples and sharp stilettos on the top of his head.

"Guys, I'm on my way. The trike has a searchlight, I'll be with you in an instant."

Though knowing he's still very drunk, but alert from the adrenaline rushing in his system, he takes the trike - and the mounted LMG - to where the other are. To prevent blinding their night vision, he trusts his helmet and goes with the lights off.
He goes slowly, aware of his current limitations, and at the same time tries to keep an eye out for the attackers.

((Alcohol is metabolised at 0.016 BAC per hour. Caffeine and adrenaline can increase the alertness and mitigate the intoxication effects but they don't increase the amount of enzymes, so the metabolism rate is unaffected.
In the future there probably is some medicine to clear it from the bloodstream, but since Amadou wasn't expect having to deal with anyone getting drunk, he didn't have any.))

To Dhan:

"Nice shooting. Let's gather the pieces carefully before some villager picks them up. Touching them with bare skin is unlikely to be a good idea."

Reserti's just sitting there on his bird, watching the others running around like headless chickens.

"How is it an overreaction? It was a choice between leaving unknown creatures up there for unknown reasons or shooting them down so we can learn more. Maybe Dr. Tal would be interested. Right now we need to retrieve what's left of them. To Dhan: What do we have for handling hazardous materials and can we get a link to Dr. Tal?"

((Yes, but he'll drive swerve slowly. He's drunk and he knows it, so he's taking this calculated risk carefully. The trike has the LMG and a spotlight, they might be needed, and in any case Amadou is dutiful.))

Danh grins behind his helmet, flicking the safety on, and resting the gun on his shoulder.
Turning to Khaiden, he says, "Uh, who? I dunno who that is."
