Mission 4. Encounter 1.

While Cyrill and Mel are lying watching the stricken transport sitting in the simmering heat they could swear they saw something moving about outside the transport. Cyrill peers through the scope on his hawkeye and he catches a glimpse of shimmering movement… he has seen this before onboard the TFT Songbird!

Just then Jacob comes across a hysterical woman who is shouting into her radio handset, “IF ANYBODY IS OUT THERE PLEASE HELP US!!”, followed by a loud thud. Jacob is not surprised that no one has heard the call since she is broadcasting on an obscure test channel?

OCC: Jacob your marauder is equipped with Twin TW-203a Morita rifles mounted in the hands and a left shoulder mounted MW-206 Light Rotary Cannon. Carina has the same configuration.
 

Private Cyrill Kowlatzki

"Look what we've got here..." ["...a glimpse of shimmering movement…" what exactly looked like that onboard the the TFT Songbird? Seems like my memory fails me...]

Cyrill tries to keep the "movement" in his scope, ready to fire a single shot.

"Over there, Mel. It's a...shimmering moving thing, like the one we saw and probably killed onboard the Songbird...remember?"

Via Com: "We have shimmering movement at the transporter, Kowlatzki over."
 

"I see it too. At least one camo-bug, but I'd bet my suit there's more. And IR might not work very well out here...too many heat sources." She looks over at Cyrill. "What do you think? Can you pick it off from here?"
 


"How 'bout parking this buggy about 90 ft. from that truck. We can use the vehicles for cover while Carl lets loose with that twin fifty at anything that shimmers unil it stops moving?"
 

Carl responds to Bishops idea saying “Sounds like a plan to me “. Carl quickly switches to IR mode to see how well he can see in the desert heat. He assumes that the bugs should be cooler than the surrounding ground and should therefore standout clearly.
 

Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

"I'm sure I can hit it, but can I kill it with one shot? Unlikely. This critters are tough. I'll have to be fast..." Cyrill quickly checks the wind's direction and trys to adjust his scope accordingly. Then he continues to aim on the camo-bug, trying to compensate for the shimmering.

"I'm ready, Lance Corporal. Just give me your GO and I'll nail him."

Cyrill will take a full round action to fire two shots at the -hopefully- FLAT-FOOTED bug when Mel or Sarge orders him to open fire. If I get the Target Species ability right Cyrill should get a +2 to damage rolls versus bugs, if they count as species. ;) So Mr. Kowaltzki expects an extra 1d6+2 damage in the first round of combat. Hope that's enough...
 

"Waitasecond Cyrill...Jake says he heard a distress call."

Mel comms to the others. "Sarge, Cyrill says he has a shot. Do you wanna engage now, or go in as a unit?"
