"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. Alex ran to the right of the ship, using the fusalage and wing as cover. His suit activated infrared vision automatically, making everything green.
"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," he said over the comm., taking a quick look around.
"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's voice came through his helmet. Alex gritted his teeth, thinking of a strategic way to move up the slope.
"Bernice, move up ten yards and get in position to run uphill," he said and watched as the black shape that was her moved up the hill.
"Clear," her voice said over the comm. "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.
"Fuck," Alex said under his breath. He hadn't expected a confrontation this early.
