Coyne sighed softly. "Why do I get the feeling of tension with you?" She asked turning her gaze to the latina. She placed down the current contents she was on her way to the casino with.  "If my presence here is going to be a problem.. I can always pack up my gear and move on." She said shaking her head with a chuckle. "I served my entire adult life in the United States Marine corps to protect the american way.. and that did not stop with a discharge.. no.. it just meant that i was able to do more along the way of helping than I could during my time in the service." She just finished getting her thoughts verbalized when the incoming attack along with the loud explosions and surprise sent the Woman diving hitting the dirt merely out of reflex alone.  Waiting a few seconds before standing and dusting herself off she quickly retreated back towards the barracks grabbing her gear. "Look.. Standing here fighting out in the open with no cover is a guaranteed death wish.. we need to retreat back to the Casino NOW and regroup.. like the lips of some had mentioned dying for nothing? That's exactly what this will be if we do not fall back NOW!" She said with a stern tone similar to the one she took when commanding her own squad a tone that showed concern and compassion. "I know I'm not in charge Ma'am But I can not let these people die for nothing!" She gave her eyes a roll. "Everyone grab what you can and fall back to the Casino NOW! We can get sharp shooters on the roof.. and give us a fighting fucking chance! oh Got any spare ear piece and throat mic sets? We need to get them to myself and as many of the other soldiers as possible as quickly as possible!"  She sighed gripping her gear's straps tightly placing them atop the box she was carrying quickly picking it back up.  She turned to Aiden. "Get everyone to safety! We got to go about this strategically! or everyone is going to fucking die! She would give out a yell a piece of shrapnel from the explosion flew die leaving a moderate laceration on her midsection. "FUCK! that shit never gets to feeling better no matter how man times you take a shrapnel hit!" Coyne would use her commanding voice. "Incoming soldiers! FALL THE FUCK BACK PDQ staying out in the open is not the smartest thing to be doing! Casino! NOW!" She said passing along the gear to another person who was already falling back towards the casino.  Coyne would then quickly scan the current location for any friendly casualties collecting the dog tags of any falling service personnel placing them into her pocket. "Someone help me gather the dead! No man gets left behind!" She added as she would begin to gather as many of the dead and wounded as she could pulling them back to safety before then proceeding herself towards the Casino in looks for who ever was running the show here. She had a look of determination on her features that was masked by a low lining anger. "Sir! You around? Sir I need a word!" She would bark out as soon as she entered the casino. "A word in private please... It is vital we have this get together SIR!" She said saluting him out of habit from her lengthy time of active duty.<br/>She let her eyes scan the casino quickly taking in any key features, weak points, points to fortify, Blind spots, any intel that could prove to be useful in the fast approaching future. Her hand coming to clench the still bleeding wound to her abdomen. "Requesting medical attention ASAP so I can get back into the fray of things please! Sir!" She moved to take a seat to apply pressure to her wound to help stop the bleeding. Coyne was getting impatient.. one of her flaws.. She was sitting here force to lick her wounds but maybe it was for the better to get treated before trying to mount some sort of offensive.
