[u][b]Maria[/b][/u] For Maria, even under a new mind set, combat on this level isn't anything new to her. But she also knew something else that she told no one else. With a new mind set, a new sync and perhaps a new way to look at things, she was about to experience something new. But if "Seven" and even Elora herself felt that this was for the best for her... Seeing the fighting start, Maria readied her laser sniper rifle. She was about to take a shot at the turtle Cruxi on her side when she got a call on her comm line. [quote]"Neo Angel! Detonate the thrown Cruxi or give me some cover!"[/quote] "...Understood! Be advised! My L.S. Rifle may pack a kick to whatever you have planned!", Maria responded to cadet Anastasia. Seeing what she was attempting to do, Maria stood by, read to fire either at the group of Cruxi she was trying to cluster up or perhaps targetting anything close to her. [u][b]Jake[/b][/u] As Jake landed, he immedately dropped to one knee and started taking aim. He then heard the chatter about Paladin taking a bad landing. Just by the sound of Ariin's voice, Jake knew it wasn't good. "Elise! Palladin's not a hundred percent! I'm going to provide sniper fire for him! Use Rec-1 to highlight anything that goes after him or if Paladin himself targets an enemy Cruxi and I'll give him a hand!" Holding his current position, Jake set his rifle to energy shots and took aim. "Also let me know if you need another drone. I got four more left", Jake added to Elise.
