Dominika was in her own world as the talking about cover and paths went on about her. The woman’s own keen eye was fixed on the prize, the crosshairs of her scope settled right in the middle of the far away targets gasmask with her gloved finger resting on the trigger guard of her rifle.  Though she did not speak she shook her head as Daniel suggested they simply avoid the contact all together, that was not especially prudent on the surface when whoever that was could just as easily utilize the maze of rubble as cover and eventually sneak up on them when their backs were turned or they had encountered a pack of bandits or mutants. For all they knew he was a forward scout for a faction or some ne’er do wells and had a radio. Hell, he could have already called in their position and now was just waiting for his comrades to encircle them with their Kalashes and shoot them all to pieces.<br/><br/><i><span style="color: blue">“Zhopa…”</span></i>She whispered, letting her breath leave her as she made to steady her breathing and slowly moved her index finger to rest on the trigger rather than the trigger guard, breaking her trigger discipline for now. The woman took a moment for her heartbeat to slow and while doing so listened for a break in the breezes sweeping the tall grass so they would not so easily sweep away the ball bearing in a gust and ruin her shot. When that pause came her finger finally depressed the trigger. A satisfying ‘pompf’ of compressed air followed with a slight recoil  as her mostly noiseless rifle delivered silent death to whoever the target was. She saw the mask crack and blood well up from a successful hit before the body fell backwards and obfuscated the owner’s identity.<br/><br/>When done she  removed her finger from the trigger and slowly moved her gun down to her lap where she pumped the chamber full of air yet again after the brief release before finally standing and looking to them.<b><i><span style="color: blue">“ Can’t sneak up on us now.”</span></i></b><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
