[h2]Bang bang[/h2] When the bullets started flying Julie adapted. Her drone still in the air, circling the area, an eye on the tablet screen to make sure they didn't have more than ten Salvesh to deal with for now. Her other eyeball was fixed on the the crosshairs of her a ACOG sight, swaying with the recoil of her rifle as her military training kicked in. Settle the sights on a target, squeeze. Inhale, acquire target, settle sights, exhale, squeeze. At this range she couldn't reliably aim at the uncovered, unarmored parts of the Salvesh, but honestly she didn't have to. They were firing so much lead down range that some of them were bound to find something lethal to hit. In simple terms: Throw enough shit at the wall and some of it's going to stick. Hell, she didn't even start spraying when the increase fire order was given. She just spent less time waiting for her sights to settle and squeezing off rounds whenever a Salvesh silhouette popped up in the center of her sights. Guns were useless to a soldier if they ran out of ammo, and it was a currency they could not afford to spend too extravagantly, this far from their resupply. [h2]Jump Scares[/h2] For now, the drone wasn't picking up any additional hostile contacts. Once the cease fire signal was given, she cautiously advanced behind the squad, sending the drone further out just as Collins yelled for her to provide an update. They double-tapped the bodies, and as Julie passed by one, the wounded Salvesh tried to snap up and swing a weapon of some kind at her. It barely got all the way up before it took two rounds in the head from her pistol and three more in the chest. Her tablet had dropped to her side in the ambush, a piece of cord in the corner the only thing tethering it to her vest. [color=00a651]"Motherfucker."[/color] She swore, checking the tablet for damagea as she sent the drone towards the hill to make sure the area was clear. [h2]Contact[/h2] [color=00a651]"Keep your panties on."[/color] She hissed, not appreciating someone barking at her in the middle of doing just what they were asking anyway. [color=00a651]"Drone will be over the crest of the hill in 10. 9...[/color]" When her countdown ended, she did it with a curse. The moment the drone cleared the ridge, her screen was dotted with heat signatures. "I have Salvesh silhouettes cresting the hill at a sprint! Roughly about two platoons in strength. Looks like they're here for the after-party." She stated matter-of-factly. No doubt they heard the gunfire and were headed in this direction to either reinforce their friends or avenge them.
