Things were not cool in Luc's head, but Lieutenant Burkley's words put him on the straight and narrow for now. Even though Luc didn't appreciate being called a kid, or his reaction being interpreted as whether the surgery would kill Anya, as he knew even Anya wouldn't take that risk, Luc knew he had to put it all to the back of his mind if he was to focus. He pursed his lips and decided to leave it until afterwards. They were taking on a god damned dragon, it wasn't as if anything crazier was going to happen today.

Angus was a bit more level, but out of respect for Luc, he didn't press the issue of Anya's decision on him for now.

The WREC trooper that clomped its way on board caused them both to be a little uneasy. It was a hulking humanoid machine with a human head poking out the top, armed with a huge, door-sized gun. It was a preview of Anya would become, and it didn't exactly put Luc's mind at ease.

Once they touched down, Angus took the left side of the ramp, taking a knee and scanning for contacts, letting someone else on the right do the same. Once Angus waved them clear, the rest of the team spilled out, including Luc. Both Angus and Luc crept forward cautiously to secure the area and readied themselves to react with fire at enemy movement. A line of smoke plumes signalled where their objective was.
