Oliver heard his radio turning on as Myria opened up a private channel to scold the tiger some more. His little stunt of using his recon drone to check out a female's ass didn't fell too good with the more serious members of his team. It seemed like they don't appreciate a well formed female butt at times like these. The only things that Oliver was surprised about was the ferocity of Myria's comments and the remark about embarrassing herself. Skinned alive and being turned into a rug was a new one. None of the instructors during basic training used such words in their efforts to turn the tiger into well disciplined and professional soldier. They usually went directly to the "do 100 pushups". Not that it helped much. Oliver opened up a private channel to the recon team's leader "Don't worry about it. Even with an idiot on your team you're doing fine. Just see it as an opportunity. If you can make me follow, no one can deny that your leadership skills are top notch" Responded Oliver joyful towards his superior. It might come over as a small joke to lighten the mood but there was some truth in the tiger's words. Most of his commanding officers during training where driven mad by him, including instructors as Oliver would mess around on a regular basis. It gave the young tiger a reputation of being undisciplined, unprofessional and generally hard to work with.
Just when the tiger closed the channel with Myria he heard the colonel's voice coming over the radio. He pretty much gave Myria the order to decide what to do with the GEARS that are guarding the bridge. Oliver was pretty sure she would give the order to engage. Myria seemed to be the kind of girl that wanted to prove herself, judging from her earlier response to Oliver's little stunt. Also Shona's voice came in. She seemed to hint to her and Oliver engaging the three makeshift GEARS near the bridge. Oliver quickly judged the situation. The opposition was equipped with makeshift GEARS. None the less they would pack some punch with their GEAR assault rifles and rockets. More than enough firepower to turn a lightly armored GEAR like his into a pile of junk. Oliver was well aware of the fact that his GEAR was not equipped for heavy combat as he was armed with just a standard GEAR assault rifle and two 5.56mm machineguns. If he was to engage the enemy, he would have to put his GEAR into range of the enemies weapons. The tiger opened up the comlink to the recon team. "Looks like it's time for a little action. Shona, if you want we can move into fireing position. I can cover you and engage any GEAR that comes to close while jamming their communications. That way you just take em out from a distance while I kick back and relax. Sounds like a perfect balance of the workload to me. And the best of all, no enemy re-enforcements. What do you think of it Myria?"
