Alexis rolled her eyes at the tone the operatives used.  They were [i]that[/i] kind: if you weren't one then you were useless.

[color=fff79a]"Let's see how they keep up with the SAS, then."[/color] She muttered under her breath, forgetting for a moment she had long since left that life behind.  She loaded her weapon, swaying to and fro as she easily dodged any attacks that came near her before breaking cover to avoid the sand barrage, sliding over the top of a car bonnet to crouch in dubious safety behind it.

[color=fff79a][i]It doesn't seem to have a weak spot, they'd have found it by now.[/i][/color]

She peered over the top of the bonnet, observing the team firing at the creature.  It was clear they were still trying to find some kind of vulnerable area but so far it seemed completely unconcerned by their resistance and merely marched onwards towards the city.  Subduing it was looking less and less likely as a possibility, let alone killing the thing.  One of the team was trying to circle behind the creature but she could see that it would leave them vulnerable, isolated from the others.  She too began to flank it but stopped halfway so that they could catch it in a perfect cross fire.

[color=fff79a]"Doesn't look like it has any weak spots.  Have you got anything bigger?"[/color]  She asked, looking for anything in the area they could use.  There were no cars at its feet to light up and create a smokescreen, or even damage it with the explosion of a fuel tank.  Alexis rarely used any non-precision weaponry and so had no grenades or anything more substantial than her assault rifle, although that was usually more than sufficient.

The creature was getting too close to the city for comfort now and showed no sign of slowing down or even being affected by their attacks at all.

[color=fff79a]"Focus on its legs - if we concentrate our fire it might actually do something!"[/color]
