Task Force Hephaestus

“Fuck.” Linn muttered as his target walked out of his view. He shifted his aim to another hostile, but couldn't get a good angle through the thorn bush which almost completely obscured his new target. He pulled himself up into a low crouch so he could easily leap up, and waited.

When Huscarl engaged the unsuspecting soldiers, Linn jumped to his feet and lined up his sight on his target’s chest. A series of muffled gunshots erupted from his suppressed weapon, which launched four rounds at his target. Linn didn't bother watching the man slump to the ground, the 7.62 bullets punched through armor and ripped through his torso with a spray of blood; he was very clearly dead. He aimed at a second target, a soldier frantically trying to bring his weapon to bear, but one of his fellow operators fired first, killing the soldier. One of the other hostiles managed to fire his unsuppressed weapon at the operators, and Linn quickly spun to kill the shooter. Again, someone fired quicker than him, cutting the shooter down. “Dammit.” Linn muttered, partially because the gunshots might have compromised the operation, and partly because he was being outshot repeatedly. The firefight, if the very one-sided engagement could be called that, was over quickly.

Linn kept security while Mischief and Huscarl attended to the Hellcat and radio. He followed his Captain over to Bravo-2, then took his position at the front of the team when he was ordered. Linn waited for the team to get into formation before advancing northeast to the objective at a relatively quick but cautious pace.

He targeted one of the men on near the officer

I think Bravo 2 is hitting the trio Bravo 1 is targeting. This op is about to turn ugly.

I think I might want to play an insurgent or guerrilla fighter; it would be extremely different from being SF.

and to bring the weapon to arms, so that he could shoot fully-automatic in the direction of the AAF Lieutenant

She decided to target the Officer looking person, with the insignia and all.

This could be bad.

I'm thinking this is dead.....

Maybe some joint ops with the CTRG and conventional NATO forces?

Linn peered at his target through the thorns and thumbed his weapon’s selector switch to “A”. Only 50 meters away, so putting a burst into his chest wouldn't be difficult. This engagement would be over in only a moment, and all they had to worry about was a hostile reflexively pulling the trigger of their weapon when they died, alerting the island. He lined up his shot through the thorn bush, his finger hovering just off the trigger.
“Staying low, not a bad shot.” His sight wasn't too obscured by the thorn bush, and not having to leap to his feet would keep his shots precise and steady. He watched his oblivious target through the rifle optic, waiting for Bravo 2 to engage their targets.

I will later today.

The moment the boat hit the beach Linn leapt off. He dropped to a crouch and scanned the teams left flank. "360 security," He said just loud enough for the team to hear. In the short time he spent waiting for his Huscarl to give the order to move out, he thought on what the captain had said previously: "'kill wounded and do not spare any surrenders.'" Linn frowned, but his expression was hidden by the shemagh over his face. Not only was it a war crime to follow that order, although the spooks in the states probably didn't give a shit about the Geneva Convention, but Linn doubted he would be able to execute incapacitated or surrendering hostiles. The order violated his moral code in just about every way possible. It was this kind of spy shit that made him almost wish he was back in the Army.

I'll figure something out Hailfire- don't worry about that. Anyway, that leaves Mischief as 2nd in command, and I think this RP may thin out soonish to a concentrated group, so we may have to figure soemthing out. It's a shame man- I really saw you cared for the RP, and wanted in on this, but if you can't bring yourself to it, that's absolutely fine.

Athena's rank was changed to warrant officer, which I believe (in the U.S. military at least) outranks Staff Sergeant.

Ultimately, I'd say that it's up to KK, but personally speaking, I like that idea. Though I think getting hit more often than not would either be something fatal or at least enough to have your character drop out of the mission.

I don't know, having your character get hit in the arm, leg, or break a rib from a bullet stopped by body armor most likely will not be fatal or incapacitating, but would make an operation more complicated and interesting. We'll see if anyone decides to have this happen.
