It was a week of firsts for Cecil. It was his not only his first time visiting the capitol of Arcadia, but in fact his first time leaving his home of Teknoh. He had never fired a gun before taking his VAD to a rifle range in the city, and all of these changes were because of his new career with the Survey Initiative. 

He had also never been in combat, but that changed very suddenly. 

His first instinct was even less useful than flinching; he froze up, until one of his comrades punched him in the arm in between bouts of returning fire. Cecil turned to the window himself and launched five lightning aligned bullets out into the rocky crags. He wasn't sure he hit anything. He could see volleys of A/A and various magical effects coming from the rocks, but he rarely caught sight of the insurgents, as they seemed to be keeping to cover. 

Cecil took a leaf from their book and ducked back down, sitting in his seat and ejecting his gun's magazine. He thumbed three bullets out, his motions frantic but purposeful, and focused his arcane network on them. He made a few slight alterations, and then thumbed them back in. 

When he shoved his gun back out and fired twice, this time he aimed first to the right and then to the left of one of the larger rocks that was providing cover. The bullets didn't fly straight, and instead curved through the air to land somewhere [i]behind[/I] the stone. Whether they hit their mark or not, each one produced an expanding bubble of kinetic force to blast the insurgents out of cover. 

As he ducked back into his seat, he turned the VAD's knob to "explosive" and pressed the reload button.
