She listened as Amanda and Micheal spoke about the threat at hand, and nodded. A scenario she is slightly familiar with when searching for VIPs, often times small groups of combatants would monitor a group of buildings hot with traps and bombs. That way they'd easily take out large scores of their foes from the safety of whatever bunker they'd be holed up in. She knew right away, that with Amanda being... well a robot, and that with Micheal here, Scarlet would be needed here to provide fire support and defuse any bombs and traps that they might come across. Once Amanda turned to her and asked her to go with the others, she lifts a finger up. [color=ff2020]"Actually, with the way things are sounding, I think I might be needed here. I got enough firepower to cover the both of you, if things get sporty here."[/color] Scarlet looked around them, taking in the relatively quiet environment. [color=ff2020]"I doubt that we'll be dealing with a high concentration of enemy combatants, but even a very small number of armed people could be incredibly dangerous to people who lack combat capabilities."[/color] Scarlet said, gesturing to Micheal. [color=ff2020]"So in essence, I'm requesting permission to provide support to you and uhm... whoever you are...?"[/color] She turns to Micheal. [color=ff2020]"... I still haven't gotten your name."[/color] The homunculus gives a slight, awkward chortle in an unconscious attempt to convey a more friendly tone. Once Micheal moved to the house, she lazily followed him there and watched as Raven worked on getting open the door. Scarlet gulps. She had a feeling that action could begin at any moment, so she slowly unzips her tactical bag of holding, and gently pulls out her [url=https://images2.imgbox.com/dd/a3/CIt2m4h0_o.jpg]AUG[/url] rifle from it. While Raven continues his attempt to pick the lock, Scarlet zips up her bag, brings the rifle to shoulder, adjusts a few knobs on the integral sight, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvdwv3L_ek]slaps the bolt handle[/url] and disengages the safety. She brings the rifle up to shoulder, and takes aim at the door. She quietly speaks to Micheal and Raven. [color=ff2020]"Once you get the door, stand at the-"[/color] [b][i]BANG![/i][/b] The shotgun blast did little to startle Scarlet, who simply pointed her rifle away momentarily to avoid friendly fire. [color=ff2020]"... sides."[/color] Scarlet sighed softly, before stacking up at the side of the door. She listens to Micheal as he speaks. Once he mentioned the MO and the traps, she nods. [color=ff2020]"Don't forget about landmines and IEDs... assuming these folks have the [i]sophistication[/i] and [i]class[/i] of your average evil paramilitary force."[/color] Scarlet said, her words dripping with venomous sarcasm. Her experience with evil paramilitary forces aren't what she would call the highlights of her life. She looks to the others for a moment, before looking Michael dead in the eyes. [color=ff2020]"All of you stay behind me. I got body armor and a rifle, so if shit hits the fan y'all would stand a better chance at surviving whatever happens."[/color] Scarlet said. Once Micheal opened the door from the safest distance he could muster, Scarlet immediately walked inside with her rifle raised. She used similar fluid movements that folks would often see Spec Ops or SWAT do in the movies when it came to clearing buildings, but with the knowledge that the building was trapped, she moved at a much slower pace, making sure to watch her step [i]and[/i] to keep an eye out for hostile activity. The building itself was rather old and rickety, with mold lining up some parts of the wall. However, the soft [i]buzz[/i] of old flickering flourescent tube lights revealed the fact that this building was indeed occupied as previously suggested, so Scarlet kept her guard up, as well as her rifle. She made slow careful steps through the hallway, almost tiptoeing and watching every step she took. A quick glance down, and a quick glance up. A quick glance down, and a quick glance up. A quick glance down. [i][color=ff2020]Ah, shit.[/color][/i] Scarlet immediately stopped in her tracks, and held up her left hand in a closed fist, a standard NATO hand signal for [i]HOLD POSITION.[/i] She made another signal, a diagonal slashing motion across her neck and chest, another standard signal for [i]DANGER AREA.[/i] Looking down, she made note of a particular trap. [color=ff2020]"Clever bastards."[/color] Scarlet whispered to herself. Slowly, she slung her rifle onto her shoulder and let it hang on her side. She smoothly crouched in what appears to be a rug of sorts, occupying a large space ahead of her in a hallway. A closer look would reveal a gentle indent in a certain space. [color=ff2020]"Everyone stand back."[/color] She whispered, gesturing everyone to get behind her. She gently removes the rug, moving it in the most careful way she could muster. Most of what was below it was rotten hardwood floor, but there was a circular opening with a [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/2011._%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9_%D0%B2_%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BA%D0%B5_053.jpg]cylindrical object[/url] inside of it. Scarlet sighed once she looked at it. [color=ff2020]"Soviet PMN mine. A battlefield classic."[/color] Scarlet sighed quietly. [color=ff2020]"Not something you can defuse with standard kits like with IEDs. In order to clear this thing I'm gonna have to blow it up."[/color] Scarlet whispered, before smirking a little. [color=ff2020]"But if y'all hate fun and like having hazards around, we can just stay clear of it and leave it here."[/color] Scarlet shrugged. [color=ff2020]"Up to you."[/color]
