[i]"...Warlock, take Bell, Stone and Kelsea as your scouting team..."[/i]

"Roger!" Myrina answered, putting a confident edge in her voice. She rolled down the ramp, confirming that her squad was indicated separately from the main unit on her HUD. The GEARs were portrayed by blue markers, while the Colonel's group was green, for easy reference. Her headset crackled before she heard Oliver's voice, followed by Shona, both of which she had not gotten a solid opportunity to know. Myrina supposed the exercise would give her that opportunity - better late than never! 

[i]"Want me to set up a telemetry-sharing channel and link us in?"[/i] the bat asked over the recon channel.
"Do it," Myrina answered. "Fan out, staggered line formation. Stone, I need you to be our eyes. Your GEAR has a drone, right? See if you can't get us a little peek at what we're up against, but don't grab their attention."

Myrina positioned herself inside the riverbed, behind a gently rolled slope at the edge that gave her a bit of cover. The recon team would have to catch their targets before they got caught themselves.
