Nova: Can the jumpack cover such a distance, that is a good stratgy though.

@ Quartz: Smoke is good, it would provide cover for you, and let him aproach to jump pack range.

Eires @Einar: "Don't engage yet."

@Nova: "Both Einar and I have pretty heavy armour. I don't know what he has, but I've got highly-tempered plasteel that's not going down that easily. Might come away with a souvenir or two, but depending on how nasty the AP rounds he's using are, Einar and I could jump him. Think it might work? Alternatively, if our ninja apparent-"

nods to Lisa

"can remain stealthed for that long, we can just send her out and wait for results."

Nova: .... It might work, but are we really comfortable testing our armour agianst AP rounds, when we could simply buy some smoke charges at the town and come back?

We have 48 more hours, and the targets entrenchment sugests they have no plans to move.

"Do not give me orders. She-"

He gestures to nova.

"Understands this situation better, so I shall follow her commands. Anyway if we're falling back to come up with a better plan then I'm all for it"

Lisa: @Eires: I can stay stealthed indefinitely, and could put myself in phase mode so that the bullets wouldn't be an issue. However, that wouldn't help the rest of the team get across.

I say we listen to Nova and go back to prepare for a bit first.

-It is at this point a second sniper round rings out, this one sailing right through the dune-

-And taking Nova's head clean off-

-Thankfully for Nova.... she is a robot-

Nova: .... AP confirmed, vastly recomending temporary retreat, and discussion of sniper and supplies.

-She begins to leave, a bit unsteady due to now being blinded, but using her short term memory of the area to head back-

Eires @Einar: "I'm not about to go in guns-blazing either, but we do need a tactical evaluation of the situation. I am open to any possibility as this particular situation seems to be one we haven't prepared for. I hope you appreciate that I'm communicating with the others here in order to maximize efficiency and minimize risk. We're all out of our element, stay frosty."

@Lisa: "That's good to know, but I'll take Nova's idea here. Let's get back and regroup for tomorrow and come back with better loadouts."

She winces as she sees Nova's head come off, but just kind of shakes her head and rolls with it as Nova walks off

Eires sat in the saloon and went over the events that played out in her mind again. At least one sniper, hitting his mark when she was behind thick cover. That wasn't unheard of, but far too precise to be accident, unless one had decades of skill, but that couldn't be assumed either.

But if the sniper could see through ground then surely he could have picked off everyone as he pleased; the rounds he was using had to be pretty high-powered stuff to give off that noise....now what was it?

Eires searched through her memories, 8 years of combat and drops to various worlds, and found her answer in the space dedicated to the Jaakon Caricore riots. Vicious streetfighting had been the flavor of the day, and rebel-aligned street snipers had used modified or downright illegal railguns to pick off armour from halfway across the city. Playing the sound she had heard today alongside the memory of that month in her mind, she realized that they were near-identical.

Such hardware wasn't impossible to find and she wasn't surprised she had made the connection. Any rail rifle that was trying to sling metal at that speed was bound to make a mess of whatever its target was.

However, that still didn't explain how the scum had hit nova from behind the dune, or, once again, why he didn't just take the opportunity to waste them all and be done with it....unless....

Eires' head snapped up as she counted who all was present out in the field today. She went over the list in her mind and realized that the split was nicely divided; organic versus powered armour or electronics.

Of course he didn't take them all out. He could only see three of them, and between her own gear, Einar's power armour, and Nova's own battle suit, Nova was the most promising target. Eires doubted that any of the sniper's shots would have done the same damage to her or the marine as Nova, but he could have made their days incredibly messy quite quickly, had he wished it.

Eires filed the information away in the tactical database within her head and went to go order a drink.

After the close scrape today, she needed it.
