Once in the jungle, Athena decided it was time to start taking the fight back the mercenaries persuing her and Oscar. Using their superior mobility, basically the vertical leap afforded by their superior strength, she as Oscar could hopefully double back and drop in to close combat.  In hand to hand, Athena hoped her and Oscar could take out as many of the mercenaries as possible before Muddy, as she was now calling him in her thoughts, showed up.<br/><br/>Running through the jungle foliage at a pace hopefully slow enough to allow the mercenaries to just keep up, Rachel stopped to make her move, calling out to Oscar, "Flashcard! Follow my lead!".<br/><br/>She wanted their attention, so she took up a quick firing position behind a big tree and snapped off a three-round burst at whatever target was available. As soon as the last bullet left the barrel, she spun fully into cover behind the tree, expecting a mass of return fire on her position, but she didn't stand there, instead Athena lept up into the tree.<br/><br/>Athena would get up as high as she could, into the canopy if she could do it in a couple bounds, and hopefully double back towards the village overhead and unnoticed, and drop into their rear ranks. That was the plan, but if someone noticed, then she'd just have to drop into the middle of a cluster of them and start systematically taking them down.<br/><br/>With any luck, the timing would be good and JD and Voltaje would be along to join before Athena and Oscar got overwhelmed.
