<strong>Lcpl. Roman "Rome" Beneke</strong><br/><br/>Rome walked along in near the rear of the column, just ahead of Widow. The squad was unusually quiet as they moved through the dark corridors, knowing just what was out there waiting for them, no, not waiting... hunting them. Tensions seemed to be running high for everyone, though the team continued to function smoothly, as one cohesive unit. Rome eyes were wide in anticipation of what may come at any moment which only served to make him like scarier and more intimidating than he already was.<br/><br/>As the squad cleared the Town Hall, the door sealed closed behind them with a loud "THUD" and then cycled into the locked position. As if on que, everyone's motion trackers lit up in all directions. "Contact!.... EVERYWHERE!" Rome yelled out almost in unison with the others squad mates with motion trackers, just as they had been trained to do. There was a loud crash, then another and another, denting in the massive, thick door to the Town Hall. The last thud shattered a hole in the center, a beast from the lowest pits of hell poked it's head through and blasted a heart stopping roar flashing rows upon rows of long, sharp fangs.<br/><br/>Rome veered around to the biggest threat and trained his Smart Gun on the creatures head. Hearing Widow's remark, Rome couldn't help but laugh despite their current situation. "I thought that was your stomach growling, Widow. Did you eat last night?" He joked back at the most inopportune time. Deciding to add a little more<em>umph</em>to before he let<em>Sexy Beast</em>take a bite out of the horrific creature, Rome ripped a fragmentation grenade from his chest rig and pulled the pin. Cooking it off for 3 seconds he flung the grenade towards the beast and then squeezed the trigger of his weapon, back peddling quickly to keep up with the others and anticipating the grenades detonation.<br/><br/>Rome heard the order from the Lieutenant to move out on the double. Hearing the call that Caesar had their six, Rome let up off the trigger and turned, rushing towards the others. He knew that Zippo and Reaper were near the front of the column along with Sarge. Until ordered otherwise, Rome decided where he was most needed at the moment was to assist in covering their rear flank. He kept scanning and panning the M-56, searching for targets and eying the LT's status. "C'mon Caesar!"
