As Lavareaux and Berg arrive, the caporal-chef asks Marcel, “How is he? Can he move on his own?”____Vidal hears the pilot’s voice over the radio, strong and clear, the green Piper just a few hundred meters south of the legionnaires. “Hourglass, I’m looking for you now. Stand by.”____Gonzalez looks at Pyotr, his eyes as wide as a rabbit’s. The Spaniard lets Pyotr take the rifle without a word and looks down at the ground. “I…I…they were so far away…”Checking the weapon, Pyotr realizes that Gonzalez never worked the operating rod to ready the rifle for firing.____Sgt. Neumann catches up to Normand and kneels beside him on the pebbly desert pavement, his eyes trained on the oued. “Dying for the Legion is expected, Mador,” he says quietly, almost paternally. “It will come when it’s ready. No need to rush it.”“Was that Martinez that was hit?” Neumann continues, shaking his head slightly but never taking his eyes off the edge of the wash. “If a company is down there, we need every man. Even you, Frenchman.”The German clears his throat, licks his lips. “Watch the oued. Cover Duval’s retreat,” he finishes. “The viets will be close enough to shoot soon.”Timekeeping: end of fourth roundVidal and Normand: Spot checks - Normand gets a +2 circumstance bonusUpdated map: Marcel is with Cpl.
