GSF Spec Ops

As the bird exploded, it's blood splattered over their armour, slowly disappearing into their camouflage along with their armour systems. The stench of it's guts might easily give them away though, considering it smelt like it had been dead for over a week. Once they got back to their transport, they would see something bound quickly away from it, but would not catch a clear sight of it.

Unknown discovery. 
The Aru'shumi jumped back atop the hostile as the Overseer's eyes lit up. They fired two hardlight shots into the odd crystal before jumping back off it's head again. The Saeva Simius took out their dark matter grenades, and attempted to toss it past the head of the monster, hoping to catch it's crystalline structure in it's blast radius, only one of the grenades succeeded in it's task, and not before it's tosser had been sliced in half. The Lance soldier dashed forwards, firing to grab it's attention, distracting it so that the Overseer could get a shot in, and it hit the back of the crystal, bringing it down. The two Aru'Shumi launched upon the third, scaling it's arms. One of them was batted off and died on impact, but the other made it to the top and fired several more shots into the crystal. The deuscidium flew forwards slightly, before using their psionics to cause a small explosion, shattering the crystal on the back of the final ones head. Finally, the remaining units had defeated the strange stone beings and looked around the chamber quickly, keeping their weapons at bear out of fears for a second assault.
