As Kradis came to a halt with the rest of the Roughriders, Silver broadcasted that two other members of the group, who had previously not joined them in the exercise, would be playing the side of the bandits today. To top it off, their location was so far, unknown. With a sigh, the Jackal weighed up his options. With only two Javelins left, he would have to join the main battle team in assaulting the bulk of the hostile force at close range, something his GEAR was not specialized in. At least he had a fully loaded carbine to help harass the enemy. Also, the hostages were the primary objective, so they could high tail out of there when need be.

Once the colonel had formulated their 'plan', Kradis moved into formation with the rest of the group, again taking a position behind the others and unfolding his GEAR's stabilizers. His hand hovered over the launch button, waiting for targets to be lighted up by any LAS-DES signatures from the recon team. Kradis parted his mouth and ran his tongue across his canine tooth in anticipation, ready for the order to storm the base.
