The massive ape like beast was yelling threats at his troops, while at the same time trying to motivate them with a speech of sorts. Holding up her right hand, Aviza silently gave the order for her squad to slow their pace, and approach the doors in front of them with caution. When they were a few steps away from the doors though, they opened automatically, giving the squad only a few seconds to move into cover before they were spotted. As the squad entered into a wide open chamber stacked high with boxes and promptly took cover, they were almost immediately fired upon by high-caliber weapons, the rounds ricocheting around them. Within the few seconds that they had not been in cover, Aviza's GEN2 Argus-class Mjölnir armor and Shih had scanned and identified the immediate hostiles inside of the massive chamber. The detailed information was automatically sent to all those present within her squad, so that they would have the information ready at hand as well. Out of all the targets currently present, the one that concerned Aviza the most was the Brute Chieftain who was armed with a Gravity Hammer. One attack from that weapon could put any of them out of commission, permanently. Keeping their distance and using all of their ranged abilities would be the best way to confront this difficult enemy. [color=00aeef]"Stay back from the Brute Chieftain and his Gravity Hammer, stay in cover untill those fortifications are dealt with."[/color] commanded Aviza as she devised a plan with the information she currently had. The mention from Tar of Snipers having taking position above was taken into account, the Sangheili had made an astute observation, though the thought of there being much more than Snipers above did cross Aviza's mind as she peered around the corner of the cover she was hiding behind. As Tar announced that she was moving forward, Aviza was about to stop the Sangheili from doing so but realized that her objection to the action would have come to late, this female Sangheili moved swiftly and to the letter. Instead, she gave a warning, an observation of her own. [color=00aeef]"Those crates you are hiding behind may not be able to withstand heavy fire from the fortifications for much longer, keep moving from cover to cover while staying out of the open and away from the Brute Chieftan."[/color] Some of the bolder enemy forces had moved towards them, and were trying to attempt a flanking maneuver. Out of these, were a number of Brutes, close combat with such a beast was not in the best of their interest at the moment. Aviza grabbed onto her MA5D Assault Rifle and switched to the underslung auto-shotgun attached to it, ready to fire as soon as she had the opportunity to. As soon as the first hostile got within range, she fired high-powered shells into the Brutes chest, effectively killing the beast. The rest of the hostiles that had decided to flank thought on the idea and fell back to fight from a distance once more, at least for the time being. Upon the dead Brutes corpse were three flame grenades that Aviza spotted after the hostile had fallen to the ground. Quickly and carefully, Aviza moved out of cover to the dead brute, scavenging the equipment and then moving back into cover, costing her part of her shield. A plan went into motion from here, one flame grenade was tossed into the middle of the room where the fortifications where, being used as area denial. The other two were attached alongside the rest of her equipment, they would be used for the Brute Chieftain when that time came. [color=00aeef]"Watch your fire in here, we do not know what the crates hold inside of them, there could be high explosives ready to detonate. Also, I want that commander alive, he could be our target, or could help us locate him, it is paramount that he survives."[/color] Aviza suddenly felt very dizzy and disoriented, grabbing onto the support beam she was taking cover behind to keep herself upright, but then the feeling faded away and she regained herself. This of course worried the Spartan, [color=00aeef]"Perhaps I am more injured than I realize, could it be that the information I was given about my injuries was incorrect? It has to just to be the ultra-Morph wearing off, a side effect of the drug."[/color] thought Aviza to herself, she knew Shih would have a comment about it, and that was welcomed.
