[i]You know, just once I'd like to be told 'Sure, Evan. Take private x.' instead...[/i] As the tank from Hoek's squad started up, Evan finished his inspection of the APC (everything was in order) and hustled over to their group. Snagging one of the trailing engineers before they finished mobilizing, Evan spun the girl around. [b]"Yo. You look like an engineer, and we're short staffed. I need someone to man our APC's gun. Mind helpin' us out, Private... Sorry, PFC Ariella?"[/b] Evan quickly stole a look at her name tag as he spoke. When the girl protested, Evan pointed back to the tank (which had already started rolling forward). [b]"Well I'd love to get permission from yer sergeant, but he seems like he's already movin out. Come on. We're going to be down a vehicle if I don't have someone on the gun."[/b] It took a moment (the girl clearly was not convinced by this), but eventually she agreed. [b]"Alright! That's the spirit, Girly. Hop in the back and we'll get rollin."[/b]

A few minutes later, Evan was back behind the wheel of the APC and starting it back up. [b]"Alright everyone! All aboard!"[/b] As squad four piled into the back of the APC, Evan yelled back to the group [b]"Ladies and gentlemen, please give us a big hand for PFC Ariella. She's on loan from squad nine, and will be helping me to provide fire support for you sorry bastards on the ground. Make her feel welcome, would ya?"[/b] Once Sergeant Harald had climbed into the seat beside him, Evan pulled the APC back onto the road and began following the tank. [b]"Ya ready for this, Darcsen? We got a whole 'nother squad with us this time. Should be fun."[/b] Evan's eyes had a fierce gleam to them (clearly the previous battles hadn't had much of an impact on him), and he was in a phenomenally good mood now that he knew that they would have a second squad with them. Best of all: A proper tank was helping in the assault! As they drove along, Evan started tapping the wheel and singing. [b]"Get your motor runnin... Head out on the highway! Lookin for adventure... And what ever comes our way!"[/b] This continued (or rather would continue) until he was told to shut up. He was looking forward to this battle. With two squads attacking simultaneously, what could go wrong?

Lilly was relieved to hear that they would be splitting up (especially since she wouldn't have to storm the house). [b]"I understand, Sergeant."[/b] Nodding, she stepped back and let everyone else ask their questions. Despite this, though, she was still very nervous. It might be easy for the muscular gentleman driving their APC to remain calm (he wasn't the one dodging bullets), but it certainly wasn't for her. As she piled into the back of the APC with the rest of her comrades, Lilly kept herself distracted by focusing first on the scratches in her rifle, then on the people she was sitting next to. By sheer chance, she had landed beside Hunt and Sykora. Looking from side to side, she spoke. [b]"Good luck to the both of you. I wish you well in the coming battle."[/b] Lilly forced a smile as she want back to examining her rifle. *static* Her nerves were going insane, but she had to focus. Once she got into battle, she would need to shove all that fear out of her mind and act without any thought or doubt. At least if she was fighting from a distance, she had confidence she could hold her nerve; close combat was what really got to her...
