Alex dropped a third enemy soldier as he was talking to the colonel. All worries about the mission had gone away. It wasnt hard at all. Just shoot the boats and prevent any wastelanders from taking down the vertibird when it arrived...

His thoughts were shattered as a sniper rifle round zoomed over his shoulder. Alex didnt even flinch. Another enemy sniper. He looked down his scope and saw him to be a ghoul. Interesting. The wastelanders were turning to ghouls to fill their ranks. Still, this one wasnt bad, as evidenced by how close the shot had come. Judging by the sound and the rifle he could see the ghoul carrying, he was using .308 ammunition. It probably wasnt enough to bring him down through his armor, but he still didnt fancy taking a shot from it.

All these inner thoughts were over in less than a second. Alex took quick aim and fired a single high powered laser blast at the ghoul. He then ducked, and spoke back into his comm unit.

"Apologies for the interruption sir. There is a ghoul sniper on the docks i will take care of. All anti air is neutralised however, so i request that we send our second vertibird once the sniper is ash."[/i]
