STAT!”, yells Sarge.Bishop moves as quick as he can covering the 60’ back to daylight in a heartbeat.  He swiftly exits through the hatch just in time to be greeted by a wave of hot air as the trench to the squads west bursts wide open with blue flames leaping into the air! Carina is knocked off her feet by the sudden blast but quickly recovers her morita and turns to face the burrow.[code]BETA Company – Remaining strengthCommander – Captain UnderwoodFirst Sergeant – Gino RamezLieutenants – 5Staff Sergeants - 5Sergeants - 18Troopers – 165Arachnid Assualt Force – Remaining strengthCurrently unknown[/code]Squad actions please.OCC:  I will be away on vacation until Wednesday 2nd of May.</blockquote>
