[center][h3]Mopping Up: Mission Start[/h3][/center]

[color=lightblue]"Understood Commander, though it's near impossible for me to get their undersides from this high up, unless they were to get knocked over somehow."[/color] he replied, firing a round into the 'head' of a Bot attempting to flank the squad. Krinos turned his attention to Squad Three, seeing things were going as planned, though he set his rifle down as he heard a beeping come from his comm device. He tapped it twice, a dossier appearing on the ground beside him. He picked it up and read it's contents, nodding before setting flame to it to ensure no one else read the contents later. [color=lightblue]"Commander, I have received a mission from the higher ups that requires me to leave the area. I shall leave my squad here to continue providing overwatch, however, I would suggest sending a sniper up here to replace me."[/color] he said. He then made his way down the tower and to a safe place, [color=lightblue]"This is Lieutenant Commander Krinos to VTOL Chrome-Six, I require immediate pick up for transport on my location. I am well away from any AA guns, so you should be good to approach, over."[/color] he spoke. Once his transportation arrived, Krinos quickly boarded it, [color=lightblue]"Let's move, we're headed to Casual Interest, we need to clear out the area there and stop those machines from getting any further in."[/color] he ordered the pilot.

The VTOL took off towards Casual Interest, Krinos sitting down while his mind wandered once again. [color=lightblue][i]I won't let them get to you, Casual is our home...I won't let those soulless bastards get within one yard of the home we made, I will tear them to shreds before they get the chance![/i][/color] he thought. "Lieutenant Commander, we have to head around Free, there's too much heavy fire coming from there to navigate safely through." the pilot said, snapping him from his thoughts. Krinos nodded, [color=lightblue]"Understood, let me know when we near the dropzone, I plan to jump. Once I do, find a place to standby, we might need you for extraction once the mission is completed."[/color] he replied. "Roger that." the pilot said. Krinos was silent for the rest of the way, listening to the continuous explosions and gunfire going on outside. The jump hatch opened quickly, "Sir, we're not close to the dropzone, but I don't think we can risk getting closer to the M-Bot." the pilot said, pointing to the large bot moving towards the borders of Tabletop. Krinos cursed his luck, [color=lightblue]"Very well, this will have to do. I'll find some way else around, since my team isn't with me yet."[/color] he replied before jumping out onto the ground below. The VTOL took off in the direction it came from, leaving the hybrid dragon on his own. [color=lightblue][i]Right, now to find my team. If I remember correctly, we were supposed to meet close to the Casual Border and start our sweep. Judging by the limited destruction, I guess it's this way.[/i][/color] he thought to himself, following a street going around from where the M-Bot stood.
