"That ship is being fueled for an escape in there, so make sure to bring some det. charges," Alex said. Bernice and Morgan grabbed two small high explosive packs of EC20, clipping them to their CASE utility belts. "David, do you have your extra ammo?" Alex turned to him.
"You're damn right I do," David said, patting the machine guns on his back.
"Good. Let's get going before they send out search parties. These suits aren't completely invisible, since the active camo reflects some light." Alex looked at everyone one last time, then turned to the panel of buttons on the wall. "Go!" he said as he pressed one. The bottom of the ship started to lower, and the jungle appeared before everybody. Bernice jumped off of the platform to the left, immediatly grabbing her custom LC7 off of her back. She crouched and put her back to a tree. Her suit picked up the darkness and automatically switched on her infrared vision. The InfraVision picked up the other CASEs as black shapes that looked relatively like humans.
"Alright, everybody, listen up. We're going to be at a disadvantage because there is a slight hill we need to climb in order to get to the base," Alex's voice came over the comm.
"Roger. I have a thermal reading of at least ten search parties of six people each in the area. Make sure your motion trackers are on," Morgan said. Bernice heard the quiet click click of the LRS Morgan carried with her. Bernice peeked from behind the tree and saw that everything was clear.
"Bernice, move up ten yards and get in position to run uphill," Alex said. She reacted almost exactly as Alex finished the sentence. She turned from behind the tree, still aiming with her LC7, and kept low as she ran up the slight slope.
"Clear," she said. "Morgan, I'm going to need coverfire, so get into a good position."
"Already on it," Morgan said as she ran up to a fallen log and crouched behind it. "I've got a reading of one search party headed in this direction, everybody," she said as she checked her scope.
