<strong>Lance Corporal Benjamin Mathias - 3rd Squad - Entering the Civilian Colony, come hell or high water</strong><br/><hr/><br/>The shimmer wave of fire and plasma melted away at the lieutenant's orders.  Mathias moved immediately after, holding his free arm up to shield against any stray shots still pinging from the interior until he was fully through the doors and able to wave the others inside.<br/><br/>"Hold your fuckin' fire, or I swear to the damn Holy Ghost I'll roast each 'n every last one o' you!"<br/><br/>As if to make his point abundantly clear, he switched the flamethrower back to a long-ranged stream and sprayed a few long, billowing jets of fire overhead, making them dance in a controlled arc to keep the attention well off the rest of the squad.
