Victor finished emptying the drum mag, then was thrown several feet back as the shock front finally hit him. He stumbled and fell behind a pile of crates. And for a time saw nothing but darkness. He got up slowly, groaning, he didn't feel anything broken, he did feel where that large bullet had grazed him though. He got slowly to his feet and looked about. Spotting Natalie as she came forward. He walked over to the exoskeleton. He kneeled beside it and nodded slowly, not bothering to look up at Natalie, "I'm fine hun...what the hell is this? And why don't we have any yet?" He nodded to Natalie, "I'll be back in a sec babe." He grabbed the suit and the corpse within and started to pull it out to the entrance of the cave they came from. Once out he detached the fulton rig from his own suit and attached it to the debris. He then hit his mic, "Globemaster Perth, Globemaster Perth, this is Brute. Do you read?" Moments later the pilot responded, "Roger Brute, what's up?" Brutal dragged the suit out a little further into an open area that allowed for a pick up, "Got a fulton hook here for you. Pick up the contents, keep it stowed. This is 1000% hush hush, no one outside of us, you and command learns of this. Hell don't even let command know until we're done." The pilot tsked, "That big huh Brute? Roger, launch the ballon, ETA on your GPS 3 minutes." Victor reached down and pulled the ballon cord, watching it raise skyward. He stepped back and away, covering it, "Oh and while your at it Globemaster, drop us one of those resupply crates would you?" The Pilot chuckled, "Sure, we'll have to make another pass after this one for that. But you'll have it. Globemaster Perth out." Victor looked up at the huge plane passed over head, snagged the fulton line and then grinned as the big remains of the suit rocketed off. He then headed back inside to rejoin Natalie.

He arrived just in time for Natalie to ask him to contact Merlin. He pressed a hand to the side of his helmet, removing his face plate with the other. "Double Bs to Merlin, Merlin, radio line is secure. Bear has something for you."

He started looking around the cave while Merlin and Natalie spoke chiming in with, "Oh sure, just part of the job taking fire. But who knew it was going to be .50 HE? We're okay otherwise." He knelt beside a pile of weapon and armor pieces, looking them over. He sighed, "This is going fast. Make sure the other team members are on site when we get there. This is already like Hell's basement, if we don't take all this down, we're going to be looking at Hell times ten, and I don't feel like getting a time share down there just yet." 

He got back to his feet and followed Natalie out. Smiling as the weapons resupply crate landed. He headed over, and grabbed somemore rocket reload packets, a few more drum mags for his USAS12s and slid a few more grenades into the cylinder no his back. He hrmed, "Should have up armored with some of those plates from the cave. Damn it. Ah well, what we have will work against anything up to 7.62. I don't think either of us are going to be able to take another 12.7 this operation." He snapped the feedline to his XM307 again, and wracked the slide. Grinning as a round slid into place, "Let's go make somemore friends shall we?" He reached up, reattaching his face plate, the HUD coming back online with a blur and short burst of static.
