Direct confrontation wasn't their new friends' specialty. Right. Cute. In insurgent talk, that translated to "we'd rather risk your lives than our own on the frontal assault". Objectively speaking, it wasn't an unfair statement, considering they were the ones with the walking tank. But that was cold comfort when they were the ones about to face the void-damned power armor. Good thing he'd fought them before on several occasions. They were tough, but not invincible. Sending just one was a cocky move.

Salvator stayed crouched in the foliage, raising a hand to wave the remainder of the Envenomed squad over to him. Once they were gathered close enough, he started speaking through the squad comms. 

[color=#DAEE01][b]"Right, this'll be a bit of a problem."[/b][/color] He grunted, starting to ping each contact on his display and relay it to the squad's HUDs. [color=#DAEE01][b]"Bad news is that having both the automata [i]and[/i] the bastard in the power armor makes this annoying. Good news is that we have the jump on them. I'm going to give us all a cloaking field. It'll keep you in stealth for at least your opening shot, so make use of the advantage and set up a kill box. It's not going to muffle your sound, though, so stay quiet."[/b][/color] The veteran trooper slung his newly-acquired shotgun over his back and pulled his carbine out once more, reaching into his armor for a fresh magazine and swapping his current one out. 

[color=#DAEE01][b]"EMP rounds if you've got them, they'll screw with the power armor trooper's systems as much as the automata's. Armor-piercing if you don't. Kleo,"[/b][/color] Salvator reached for a few of the grenades on his belt and handed them over to the aforementioned. [color=#DAEE01][b]"You've been bitching for a grenade this whole op. Hope your throwing arm's good. The one with the blue casing's the only EMP grenade I brought, try and tag as many of the automata as you can. As for the both of you,"[/b][/color] He tilted his head towards Echo and Ilshar. [color=#DAEE01][b]"Focus fire on the power armor with me, then try to take out the automata as best as possible once he's down. All of you use your own discretion on firepower past the opening salvo. I'm hoping our new friends pick their balls up and open fire once the power armor's taken out at least, but I'm not holding my breath."[/b][/color] His briefing done, Rasch channeled the void through himself and swept his hand out, enveloping the entire Envenomed squad in a void cloak. 

[color=#DAEE01][b]"Cloak's up. Spread out and set up. Open fire on my mark."[/b][/color] Once everyone was in position, Salvator nodded to himself before raising his carbine, drawing a bead on the power armored soldier. [color=#DAEE01][b]"Fire!"[/b][/color] He pulled the trigger, sending a burst of EMP rounds straight for the soldier's helmet.
