As Janis made the tree line and Ranna picking off two Trebuchets Graff flipped his mic to external hoping the pilot in the Orion would hear, "Ok that's a wrap here Orion, lets go bring up the rear."  Flipping back off external he zeroes in on Harlequin's mech and tight beams, "Thanks for the assist.  Our charge just entered the forest and is making his way back to the dropship."  Reversing into a forward direction Graff kicks his Marauder back up into a run to attempt to make it to be rear guard while there is still something left to guard.  Next thing Graff knew two fast moving bogies pop up on his radar and buzz the battlefield only to leave behind their sensor confusing package, and who knows where those came from.<br/><br/>As grass turns to ferrocrette Graff slows down once again concerned about the same thing as before but for different reasons.  The chances of anyone finding a level strip of road here is about the same as anyone getting a bonus out of Perkins.  Dips and hills full of unstable chunks litter the area and as Graff (and possibly Blackjack) begin to make their way over a small mound they link up with the last known position of Brick and his lance.   Their hampered movement made it easy to locate them even as the chaff slowly settles.  Ah rearguard, a position Graff is quite familiar with, it's like a warm blanket that brings him back to the academy days as his class mates seemed to think that was the only place he was really good for since leaving him out of the OP was out of the question.  At this point though the situation was a little different, he's chosen mostly because his Marauder is one of the least damaged mechs in the lance right now.<br/><br/>Back to lance coms he goes as he signals in, "Double G here, taking up position in the rear.  Get out of here, we'll watch your six."
