[center][color=0072bc][h3]Lilly Jatmoore[/h3][/color][/center] *CRASH!* *Static* *StaticCrackleStatic* After Brenna kicked open the door, Lilly and the rest of the group charged through after her with the order going 'Sykora, Lilly, Webber, Hexner' and Durandal bringing up the rear. Her pulse pounded in her ears and the accursed static noises filling her head made complex thought difficult for her during the attack. As such, she was acting mostly on instinct and what their training had pounded into her muscle memory. *Rattatat! Rattatatatatatatata!* The imperials on the first floor were caught completely by surprise as Brenna let loose a several bursts of fire. Lilly lent her own rifle shots to the barrage, successfully downing one of the scouts. The remaining imperials fell in quick succession to the combined attack of the other three members of her fire team, with only one of them managing to even turn around before they were killed. In a matter of seconds, it seemed that the fire team had secured the first floor. [b]"ha... ah... ha..."[/b] As the smell of blood started to fill the air, Lilly's breathing became more sharp and ragged as she began to feel nauseous. Damn it... She had to keep moving and keep her mind off it. [b]"Clear! E-Everyone, upstairs! Move!"[/b] They had to take the house before the defenders managed to organize a defense, or they would be stuck battling room to room with half an army outside their door. Before they lost their momentum, Lilly charged up the stairs to the second floor. *CrackCrackCrack!* *Ping!* The second floor was home to a trio of lancers and a pair of scouts, but they were just as slow to react as the soldiers below. With the last three bullets in her magazine, she managed to gun down one lancer before the scouts raised their rifles and fired, forcing her to duck behind the thick wooden door frame at the top of the stairs while she reloaded. *StaticStaticStatic* [b]"Someone use a grenade! Clear them out!"[/b] As the rest of the team formed up on either side of the stair case's doorway, Lilly frantically yelled her orders. [b]"Durandal! Once the room is clear, get in there! Take one of their lances and kill those tanks! Everyone else can guard the staircase or attack the infantry!"[/b] *StaticStaticStatic* There once was a battle long ago where Lilly was described as being in hysterics. Well, actually not that long ago. It had only been a couple months, but for Lilly, it felt like years. During the Battle of Rinneheim, she he been barely able to do anything more than flee in terror as her emotions overwhelmed her. Those same emotions where here as well, but the training had helped to suppress them and focus them away from fleeing and more towards aggression. She just hoped she could hold it together long enough for the battle. A breakdown here would not be welcome. [@Shyla Nesthorn][@CirusArvennicus][@Evil Snowman]
