The area was way too peaceful as the patrol vehicle approached. The gangs had a habit of always scattering into hiding places whenever they caught whiff of military approach, the advantage of this is sometimes they left behind. Einheit also provided it's military with some nifty ways of seeing through hiding spots, "Tersi, slow down to a crawl speed," I ordered, "Orson, get up in the turret and scan the area with optics."<br/><br/>"You got it Cap," Orson responded as his mechanical seat lifted him up into the turret atop our vehicle, which was also equipped with high-powered optics that provided all sorts of tactical information. It didn't take long for the Private to find something, "I'm picking up a person in that building just next to us, looks like they're packing a laser pistol,there's a lot of other weapons in the nearby area too..."<br/><br/>I took a second to ponder the situation. The standard ban on civilian weaponry hadn't been fully successful in lowering the number of armed civilians, mainly because it was impossible to arrest all the violators. However, making an arrest on it here and there at-least showed the gangs that we the military still had<span style="font-style: italic">some</span>control in this part of the city.<br/><br/>"Stop the vehicle, full alert," a pause as the vehicle came to a smooth stop, "Alright, Tersi you come with me and we'll deal with whoever is in the building. Orson, stay in the turret and keep watch, don't let any of the gang members sneak up on us."<br/><br/>I step out of the patrol vehicle and approach the building with Tersi in step behind me, "Einheit military, whoever you are we know you're hiding back there and that you have an unauthorized weapon, step outside with your hands up."
