[b]"Roger roger!"[/b] Aidan replied to Silver and Adrian both and let the weight of his body push into his legs and against the pedals, his GEAR slid forward a few meters on it's wheels. He came to a halt and for a few other GEARs to pass first before he'd find himself a position in the queue; he took a few deep breaths and pushed back the last of the worries out the hatch, it was time again to be on alert, be concentrated and stay frosty. As soon as he was given the green light, the dog pushed the pedals down again, his GEAR accelerating towards the outside world, his body being pushed back against the seat by an unseen force. The artificial muscles protected by the outer titanium alloy panels took most of the shock as soon as the legs hit the ramp and the ground, Aidan barely felt any shaking in his compartment, but he did feel a few Gs as he took a hard turn to fall in line with Adrian. For the most of the ride, the dog relaxed in his seat, he even locked the arms of the vehicle in place and pulled out his own from the linear frames to stretch his torso and once he was far from the safety of the landcruiser, he considered strapping himself with safety belts. His mind drifted into places far from his duty, places that brought a taste of sorrow and absence in his mouth, tastes that made him sick to the stomach. Or it may be that stupid soft drink. His ears open to the chatter on the channel, his eyes on the dirt world in front, Aidan sighed to himself in the struggle to battle against sadness; a few bumps here and there coming from the pedals told him that he was now in a rather rocky region, forcing him to cut a bit of his speed and try to place himself behind his comrade leading the way to their waypoint. At some point he saw Adrian's GEAR turn its to head to him, the dog quickly shoved his left hand into the glove and gave him the OK gesture, completely oblivious to the hare's own grim thoughts.

Soon, the objective was in their sights, motivating Aidan to re-take control of Stumpy's arms; he leaned a little to the right, the GEAR translating the command into a strafe that put some distance between itself and Hyper Saber. The canine was ready to dodge shots, yet, none were fired and Adrian was confident enough to peek over the lip of the hill through the scope of the rifle. Stumpy came to a halt as Adrian commanded, Aidan switching off the wheels to brake slowly without risking to tip over the GEAR; he took a few more careful steps, knowing that no-one would be able to spot his GEAR due to it's height.

[b]"Boss,"[/b] Aidan called towards the colonel [b]"This is team three, we've reached the target. No enemy activity yet to be spotted, over."[/b] After a few moments of waiting, Aidan grew a tad impatient, he hated to not know what's going on.

[b]"Yo, you see anything?"[/b] He asked Adrian, shifting his gaze left to right, looking out for any form of enemy activity. [b]"Stay put, I'll check the flanks."[/b] He re-engaged the wheels and started to roll along the crest of the hill on Adrian's right, keeping a safe distance from the lip so that he wouldn't be spotted from below. Not finding much, he took a very brief glance over to the mining facility where he found two elements that drawn his attention: the big door being wide open and oh-so-inviting, and, a defunct GEAR stripped of it's components. Returning to Adrian, he had really no clue as what to do yet.

[b]"I don't like that door being so wide open, smells like trouble. And that dead GEAR's not a good sign either. I'm not about to charge into a clumsy trap, I feel a lot safer up here with a cloud of rockets headed towards the camp. Then again, they may have innocents down there. Should get around it and close in from behind?"[/b] The canine felt a little pumped and ready to go, yet, there was a pinch of reluctance in him that held him from taking any huge risks or daring maneuvers; being the other half of a team, he couldn't really put his neck out, especially since he's a support unit the whole squad of GEARs, the chopper above and the fire-team aboard depended on. At times, he felt he was extremely limited due to his role, but if it weren't for that thought constantly nagging him, his disregard for his own well-being might bring his life to an abrupt end.
