Kyle turns his head in the direction of the energy spike, his targeting systems registering the massive buildup of power. "Aww hell no. How the hell we supposed to compete with that!" He mentally cursed himself for not bringing any longer range weaponry to counter this, as he watched the energy readings spike. He scrambled down off the Paladin and sprinted towards the Skyranger still parked at the LZ.<br/><br/>He ducked inside the cargo hold and almost pulled the radio off the wall when he grabbed it. "This is squad two calling basecamp, Solider ID# 337, callsign Tank. We have imminent breach of settlement defence walls, requesting backup to secure breach. Also requesting deployment of Longbow via rapid-response pod. LZ 344 is clear of all friendlies. Authorization Alpha-Zeta-772." If the pod guidance was on target, and it usually was, the pod with the Longbow, which would be launched in a matter of moments from either the Leviathan or from HQ, would touch down just to the west of his position. Unfortunately,  if he was right about the energy buildup, the enemy weapon would be ready to fire before that. All he could hope was that the walls held against the first shot.
