From the moment he felt the ethereal pulse, Salvator knew they were made. His camo cloak activated as he crouched down and started to sweep the area, looking for where the enemy would be coming from. He heard them first.

[color=#DAEE01][b]"Contact!"[/b][/color] Salvator bellowed over comms just before the squad started to take fire. Fortunately, his camo cloak gave him enough leeway to get to cover, and he ducked behind a different house wall before starting to return fire. However, there weren't many rounds exchanged before another pulse of ethereal energy washed over the group, and Salvator instinctively looked up to see the source. 

Fuck. Whoever the enemy etherealist was, they were a direct assault type. 

[color=#DAEE01][b]"Incoming blast! Find heavy cover, now!"[/b][/color] Salvator informed the group again, already formulating a tactic as he noted the heavy gunner from the northwest house pausing for just a moment. [color=#DAEE01][b]"Squad, I'll deal with the heavy gunner, get him off your back to take out the rest of them."[/b][/color] He murmured, slinging his carbine up over his back as he swapped out for pistol and knife instead while making sure the Echo microplatform on his back was secure. 

Seconds before the ethereal artillery blast landed, Salvator made his move. He surged out from behind the house wall and went straight into a blink jump, tunneling through the open window of the northwest house that had been blown open and right next to the heavy gunner. The instant Salvator emerged from his jump, he lashed out from the soldier's flank, getting a pair of shots off aimed at the head head before lunging with his monofilament knife towards the chest. In these close quarters, Rasch had the advantage, especially considering the length of the gunner's unwieldy weapon.
