The sand worm attack had come as a most fascinating surprise to Jake, he'd heard stories from Overwatch reports but most of them were discarded as being merely rumours.  The Galbadian SeeD calmly observed the creatures that had easily surrounded the area as he reached for his PDA.  Just as the SeeD was about to snap a shot of one of the creatures, an explosion cause by one of the turncoat soldiers had thrown the dusty sand into the line of sight.  As the worms thrashed about Jake snapped several quick shots before raising the PDA close to his mouth.

Mr Fenwick?"[/color]  The SeeD turned to look at where Duncan had been only to see, like most of the other SeeD he had already made a break for safety.  With a sigh Jake glanced and took count of who was yet to start moving before making a dash for it himself.

As the SeeD ran across the desert to safety, he kept himself apart from the others to maintain their spread out formation.  The ground rumbled as Sand Works split up and pursued their desired meals.  As the quaking gradually became strong Jake stopped himself before taking several leaps back as a worm burst up beneath his route.  [color=ed1c24]"Aeroga!"[/color]  The spell blasted a wall of sand up between Jake and the worm as he circled round the diversion as the creature predictably lunged through the barrier to find its prey had already departed.  The SeeD wasted little time scurrying up the rock formation once he'd caught up to the others. [color=ed1c24]"Overwatch if you're seeing this we may be needing some fire support once everyone's regrouped."[/color] In the distance the SeeD just barely made out the flicker of light being bounced from the sniper team members scopes, they were ready to act should the need arise, though until the team were gathered in one spot opening fire on the large targets carried to much risk.  The SeeD readied his crossbow with one of the modified explosive bolts, carefully watching for an opportunity to plant one within a worms mouth should it present itself.
