"Argon, let's go!" Ryan shouted up at her CVF. On her voice command the frame lowered it's hand and lifted her up into the cockpit. A faint flicker of light flashed a moment before the screens came of life. "Welcome back, Pilot" a generic robotic female voice chimed. As the team slowly trekked out Ryan flipped a switch activating the Argon's ECON MODE. Simply put, it is a mode designed to save energy for especially long trips. But it also has the added benefit of lessening the frame's heat signature and muffling the hum of the engine, convenient for a slow stealthy approach. As their targets came into view, Ryan dropped her frame into a hull-down position. The Argon's dark camouflage patterned paint melted into the darkness of the night, concealing the frame effectively. Only the left shoulder of the Argon stuck out a little, where a posing pin-up girl was painted with the words "Miss Behavin'" in cursive underneath.

"I count 15... 20 plus. Keep an eye out for scouts." As Taylor loaded her gun Ryan gave herself a comfortable distance from the group, which would look like a big glowing target on thermal vision.

SAFETY DISENGAGED
SUPPRESSOR ENGAGED

The Argon's robotic voice again alerted Ryan of pertinent information. "Alright, let's stick to the pincer formation" she whispered into the mic, despite being far enough away from enemy to shout. Smoothly and steadily, Ryan moved her frame westward using a low-crouching stance. Slowly she crept closer to the group of enemies until the closest frame was just within her range. The Argon's auto-targeting wasn't sufficient at this range, so she switched it into full manual and ignored predicted trajectory. "Ok, I'm in position. Hurry up and get setup." Her finger hovered over the trigger, eyes glued on the enemy movement. If any of them moved an inch closer to her, she was ready to either open fire or better yet back off.
