Paul was exhausted, after no sleep and the training and the mock battle Paul was happy knowing he could sleep soon. Paul was also very happy, He enjoyed the tough work, it had helped take the thoughts of his former squad mates out of his head. As He laid on his bunk Paul recounted the events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We got one down!" Paul Yelled as he said as one of the forward scouts was taken out by squad six's tank. Paul had been slower due to his armor and exhaustion. Paul had run up just in time to see Lily lay down as a casualty and saw her companion Alex holding the line. With his fathers training Paul fired in quick short bursts and slowly made his way to the other scout and took cover as a shower of chalk rounds impacted on the sandbags above his head. As Paul looked out from his cover to see the number of enemy contacts he noticed one of squad six's in coming shock troopers hit square in the helmet as a round exploded into powder all over his face. A slight smile crossed his face " thank you sniper" he said quickly as he looked around to see where the shot came from. Slowly Paul fell asleep -------------------------------------- Sam's Post Sam sat in the common area on one of the arm chairs.her mind recounting the first meeting of her squad [i]Paul...[/i] she thought [i]He looked a wreak, Blood, dented and torn armor...He looked like he had been through hell[/i]. On one hand she had wanted to greet her best friend, but the empty look in his eyes kept her from saying hello. "Damned Chalk..." She said as she leaned back in her chair "But Damn if I don't love a comfy chair" She said as she looked at her hands. her mind slowly drifts back to day. Sam had done excellent at the shooting range, but the running was grueling. Unlike the scouts who were quick and used to running, or the shock troopers endurance and ability to endure a lot of pain and not complain. at the very end She was exhausted, but during the mock battle was the one point where she proved to herself the usefulness of a sniper. After the mock battle commenced Sam Followed the Plan and moved to a position where she over looked the High ground. As she set up Sam heard the boom of squad six's tank. As soon as she was finished setting up She saw Lily as she laid down covered in chalk. Not much later Sam saw paul move up and take position behind a sandbag wall. Suddenly as she watched she noticed a squad six member rushing up. quickly Sam aimed and fired hitting the man square in the head. As Sam looked back on the events she noticed some one come up to the door and the sound of some one greeting the person behind the door.
