Lt. Mengsk with a nice new piercing to show off- 3rd squad.<hr/><br/>"Cease Fire, if you haven't hit it yet you won't now, don't paint a target on your head!"<br/>He barked.<br/><br/>Upon hearing the opening fire he was quickly able to asses that he had found the locals and they had fired first so he did not blame his unit for opening fire, he had issued the orders. He had shot as well but did not lose himself to that instinct to shoot and ask questions later, that was what his marines where for, he was supposed to stop them. It was not until he saw the red beam go through him like nothing and a sudden jolt of pain which lingered as an ache afterward that had him having to think fast.<br/>"Matthais, Sargent get in there and open a path, Cooper on your feet and help them out! Arca you set that door to close in 25 seconds starting now. Jones, Riska cover my ass, I don't need any more holes in me today!"<br/>He ordered.<br/><br/>Years of control and service as an squad leader came to him naturally as he turned and sprinted towards the APC. Whatever was hunting them was outside and he needed to get his unit in. The large armored vehicle was turned on and shifted forward and moved to get into the garage.<br/>"Everyone inside the facility and get some damn lights going, close the doors on the double! Go Go go!"<br/>Mengsk was careful not to trample his own soldiers in the process of getting them to safety, that would have been ironic. Tychus would have time to check what damage that beam had done to him once everyone was no longer out in the open and under direct fire.
