As Victoria head off towards the direction of her teammates, she heard the unmistakable chatter of Covenant forces, who had converged onto her vacant drop pod. Her immediate reaction was to dive for cover behind a plant box of some sort, hoping her teammates were within the immediate area and coming onto her. Victoria herself was capable of taking these enemies on by herself, but didn't want to risk it in a situation like this. As she could see their silhouettes walk past, she gestured towards them. "Hey, I'm down here!" She said quietly, over the comms. There was also Corporal Laurent within the area, but for the time being the two other ODSTs seemed to be stagnant. She had two choices. It was to either deal with these enemies herself, or retreat and regroup. 

Victoria pondered on the decision, wondering what would come with what. If she engaged the enemies, then the ODSTs would realize where she was and come to assist, but if she retreated, then the enemies would probably converge onto her. That thought cemented Victoria's decision, and she decided to engage them on her own. She grabbed a grenade from her person, priming it and chucking it towards the Covenant squad, hopefully their reflexes being too slow to realize that there was a grenade right there to blow them up. As it rolled towards the main section of grunts and jackals, she could hear a grunt make its signature scream, before the sound of a grenade exploding. As soon as the grenade exploded, she dove out of her cover, rolling to a crouched stance as she fired bursts towards any stragglers, hoping to attract the other ODSTs within the vicinity.
