Raptor leaped gracefully with her species namesake as they flew high above her head, some scattering from her presence, others gathering. She landed at the trunk of a tall, tree canopy, digging her boot heels and wrists into its soft bark to slow her decent. Her feet landed on a branch about 50 meters from the ground, her ping vibrating immensely. She looked around, her eye finding all sorts of indigenous life, but something on the ground seemed to move unlike any indigent.<br/><br/>As the shadow lurked through the jungle, she quickly reached behind her and pulled both halves of her compound bow, attaching them together with a solid clunk. She reached down her smooth thigh, pulling out a thin telescoping arrow. With a flick of her wrist the arrow extended. It appeared to the naked eye to be a target arrow, but its hunting class barbs were too small and too numerous to tell with the naked eye. Both penetration and extraction of this arrow would result in intense pain and profuse bleeding.<br/><br/>Setting the arrow and aiming down the site with her golden eye, she targeted the shadow, drawing back slowly on the long, carbon fiber string.<br/><br/>"I'm right beneath you." cackled her comm, Raptor's concentration shattered and she lost site of the target. Her optical sensor picked up no unusual movement.<br/><br/>"Damn," she whispered to herself. With grace and swiftness, she contracted the bow and arrow whilst climbing down with haste to meet Kitten on the ground. Her feet landed on the fertile soil with a soggy thud, her hand placing pressure on ground to give her stability in her landing. She stood silently and fluidly, walking over to Kitten in long quick strides.<br/><br/>"How was the trip?" she smiled beneath her re-breather. "Where's Snake?"
