Mateo Secada
Partycrasher
Aral Sea, Kazakhstan
Mateo was just finished dealing with some punks and went to reload his weapon when Skye came on the radio about finishing mopping up and regrouping. "Roger that Queen," there were still some holdouts where he was, but it should not take that long. So after he was done reloading his weapon, Mateo went about finishing the holdouts where he was near.
It did not take long, being hard to see and hear helped, and by the time he was done. Mateo reloaded his weapon for the last time. He was done here, and it is time to get out of here and back to base. A long trip that will be, he thought and deactivated his cloak. He did not need it anymore and was walking to the rally point. A nice mission end, everything considered, he thought, and these pricks did not even see him coming. Having silenced weapons and being cloaked does help with that. But having good teammates to cause some chaos does help too.
Mateo was just about halfway to a DPV when Skye got on the radio about the hacked drone. He stopped dead in his tracks, almost not believing what he had heard. "Repeat that again, Queen, what are you..." Mateo was unable to finish his sentence as his eyes went wide as he spotted the rouge drone close in. Silently cursing as he reactivated his cloak and ran as fast as he could opposite the DPV. Could the drone detect him even while cloaked? The thought crossed his mind, but he was too busy running and acting as it could. Hitting the deck when the explosions hit and waiting there on the ground until the explosions stopped. Breathing heavily and he took stock of his surroundings. He was near the ship, and while he seemed to be fine, how was the rest of his team?
Then he heard Queen's voice on the radio with good and bad news. Switching to his short-range radio, "Roger that Queen, and we will give them hell." He says with a semi-frustration in his voice. Not at her, of course. Since when did Artemis start hacking their stuff? It is not her fault, and he can not worry about that now. They have company, and he was sure to give them a proper welcome basket. Looks like he is going to hang back with a sniper after all.
It did not take long for Mateo to get to his position and set up shop with some minutes to spare. Bringing out his sniper and aiming it at where the pricks will be showing up. Artemis may have played their hand with the drone and the backup, but Raven still has some aces in their hand. Mateo will make sure of that.
