Archangel made her peace. This wasn't like going into Super Mutant territory or taking out an unruly gathering of wasteland raiders. The NCR were, perhaps, one of the next best options for civilization next to the Enclave. Sure, they were far from the best, but compare to everywhere else in America? At least the NCR managed to get this far. There was a certain underdog charm to them. If things were different, she would have probably been working for them. But now wasn't time for what-ifs. They had their mission: Take over the airbase and leave no survivors. The NCR weren't bad people... They were merely the enemy. This was war; no one leaves with a clean conscience. Accepting this, Archangel made sure to make all the preparations she needed. She made sure to pack lethal explosives for her gauntlet, as well as trading out her Compliance Regulator for a 5.56mm Pistol; a vault made weapon. Her vault of 103 managed to get a bullet press for 5.56 rounds made years ago, and made many guns to use it. Archangel never had much of a taste for kenetic weapons, but her training made her familiar with all types nonetheless. Besides, she wasn't expecting to use it in a firefight. No, this one was special to her, namely for the engraving to put onto the barrel. On one side it said "Castd in the name of God". On the other it said "Ye not guilty". This pistol won't be used to fight. It will be used to execute.

Along with the rest of the taskforce, Archangel waited under the cover of darkness and rain at the forest edge. Ada floated low to the ground with her. As far as she knew, the NCR don't employ a lot of robots or power armor (She was well aware of their crude, stripped down "Power" armor they had) so the Arc Welder wouldn't do much damage. However she did know that since they took over, they had installed quite a few automated turrets. Ada would be more than capable of taking those out quickly, which would help the other soldiers get through without having to worry about getting blasted. More importantly however, Ada had been set to chase down and kill any of the possible NCR Rangers stationed about. Those were the only thing she was worried about; the rank-and-file soldiers might give them a problem if they are kept organized, but if the others succeed in their mission they will be in disarray. The Rangers, however, were much more disciplined and thus more of a danger. They would still be overwhelmed and killed like everyone else, but Archangel sought to lower the number of allied casualties none the less. Besides, she'd get additional data on the surrounding area if Ada left on her own, that way Archangel can keep control of the battlefield by observing the enemy positions.

Archangel fiddled with her weapon's setting, making sure the beam splitter made the lasers stay close together. This wasn't going to be as open as back in Seattle, and with her fellow Enclave with her she did not want any friendly fire incidents. Like some of the others, she had to wait for the infiltration group to finish their mission before they would begin their push. She wished she could have gone in; she could have done a number to their electronic systems. But ultimately it wasn't necessary; their communication array will be disabled and restored after the Enclave take over. The group that went in had the necessary ability and equipment to do it themselves. Archangel was simply anticipating the signal. Getting ready for what they were about to do.
