Halle turned slightly towards Andrew and opened up a comm channel to him only, "Keep in mind, Sergeant, that I outrank you both in the USN and for the purposes of this mission. You might not like it, but you need to just follow orders. I will command the grunts here. We're trying to stop a psychotic soldier with stolen weapons. I don't have time to argue over command with you." With that, she closed the channel and took off to the left behind some cover.<br/><br/>To all she said, "Hit the enemy from both sides at once! Don't let up until they're forced to retreat or destroyed! Watch your fire and use controlled bursts!" as she brought Reaper around to the enemy flank and opened fire on one of the closer wanzers. Her rifle stitched wounds up it's side and the crippled machine soon toppled over, out of commission. The strike team's combined fire was withering and quickly wearing down Durai's forces. At this rate, they'd be retreating in no time. One or two of the grunts on the strike team's side were taken down, but they seemed to be incurring no heavy losses. It almost seemed too easy. Especially considering that they haven't seen any of the so-called prototypes yet. Where were these wanzers? And where were the supersoldiers? The enemy they'd faced so far seemed to be mercenaries, amateurs at best.
