[color=gray]Things had escalated just as quick as the plan had detailed. The mission had gone from silent and peaceful to loud and furious in the blink of an eye. As Prowler had given the green light, multiple sites lit up with explosions and gun fire. Carmen always liked seeing that, it told her that the outfit she served in was on point and its pilots trusted in each other's abilities. Carmen had jumped off of the Hare before it ripped off the tarp and began speeding around to combat the weak resistance. Carmen would obviously fall behind, but she wasn't a front liner so she didn't mind.

She engaged her suit's thrusters and sped across the arid landscape to intercept one of the IFVs that accompanied the Ferir. She brought her HMAR to bear and fired off a burst of three at the same time the IFV fired back. Two shots made contact with Carmen, but her shield was able to safely stave off the smaller caliber weapons of the armored vehicle. The three rounds of the HMAR all made their mark thanks to her suit's targeting system. The first round punched through gun of the IFV, disarming it and making it a defenseless target. The second hit a tire and blew out the axle as well. The power of the HMAR and the sudden jerk in the vehicle's steering made it flip and roll a number of times before coming to a stop. The third shot dealt only superficial damage. Carmen zipped across the surface, leaving behind a growing dust cloud as she closed in on the wreckage of the IFV.

When she stopped in front of it, she could see the driver quickly coming to and fighting with his holster to get his pistol. Carmen walked around the side of it and took a hold of its twisted edges. She flipped it over with the augmented strength the suit offered and ripped the door right off. The driver shot but the small 9mm bullet produced a small crackle from her energy shield. She took a hold of the man by the gun hand and gripped tight, crushing both the gun and the hand. He scream and Carmen pulled him out of the vehicle, throwing him back a good ten feet. She used her thrusters to quickly close the gap again. The man was holding his ruined hand and looking up at Carmen fearfully. She sighed, [color=crimson][b]"Gee, don't give me that look. You're probably the luckiest one among your band of merry raiders. Because I'm not going to kill you."[/b][/color] she paused to gauge the expression on his face, [color=crimson][b]"But I can't speak for the rest of my group. So I'll give you about five minutes to have a change of heart and give me some juicy information. If you behave, I might think about fashioning you a cybernetic hand."[/b][/color][/color]
