Keq pulled himself over a small pile of rubble. Before him was the Mythosaur. He heard Cyphor ask him where he was over the comlink. Slowly, Keq limped up behind him.
"Right behind you, mate.", he said, puncuated with a small cough.
"You boys,", Keq said, gesturing towards Talon Squad,"Get up to the armory. The turret controls are located there. Darok. Head up to the cockpit and fire up the forward guns.", Keq ordered in an authoritive voice as he slowly made his way up the loading ramp. Keq made his way up to the cockpit, easing himself into the co-pilots chair. Fenra glanced over to him for a moment.
"Why do I feel as if we've picked up another useless lifeform?", she asked her mentor with a small smile.
