Oh yeah.  That was the look, alright.  Always happened when something they didn't agree on come up in a big way.  He was an Ork and she liked having a fling with Orks, but he was a killer and she didn't put up with killing.  And a [i]dragon[/i] situation that forces them into a ruddy little corner?  [i]Nobody[/i] likes that, least of all Steph.  But as it happened, common sense came through.  She knew they'd have to go through with this mission, and as punishment for having to do just that, Joe was minus one gal-pal.  Honestly, he'd be more miffed, but they both knew they weren't hooked up serious or anything.  And she'd probably relent later.  One of the good things about this kind of relationship is that Joe didn't try any nonsense like 'You'll be back' or drek like that.  Standing there and taking it without that macho bullshit meant there'd be no spite in the mix for later.  Joe accepted this, and moved on.  In the meantime, they had a mission to perform.

Yeah, their roadblock was alright, simple enough to get the job done.  Oh no!  The storm knocked down a tree!  It was the kind you had to move too, not try something funny like blow up.  Why?  Because it was [i]eucalyptus[/i].  They [i]exploded[/i], which was the other thing that made this roadblock nice.  When the EMP went down and the guns lit up, the tree going [b][i][color=f26522]FOOM![/color][/i][/b] would make for a great distraction if they needed it to be.  Team One wouldn't be near it, of course.  Bad guys who suspect a trap still might shoot the damn roadblock.  If they ignited it, they'd be causing their own hell, anyway, so they weren't near that, but hidden elsewhere.  And Team Two?  They were still coming in the rear with the EMP after the truck they were getting into stopped.  All in all, it was a case of diverting the truck, forcing them to stop with the roadblock, ganking 'em, and taking their place.  And Joe was ready to use some Ram to force their diversion all the more properly.  Breaking down something into rubble in their path would definitely do it.
