They were all clad in identical suits of powered armor that were painted to blend in with the terrain with the exception of one, which was completely black and sported a grisly skull painted on the helmet. The sun had yet to rise and the entire jungle was covered in a dense fog, reducing visibility to almost zero. Yet they all avoided tripping over the exposed roots and rocks despite not being able to see well.<br/><br/>"Hurry up, while the night fog still has our approach covered." The black armored one, Squad Leader Kale spoke before quickening his pace. Not one hour ago, the Bladerunners fleet had engaged an unknown ship passing through their system. The unknown ship had put up a good fight but it was quickly shot down and crash landed in one of the swampy areas outside of Bladerunner territory. The Elders immediately ordered all forces to prepare for the worst, the territory surrounding the cities was fortified and booby trapped ten times over. An attack force was also mobilized and sent to secure the ship before one of the other clans did. They had reached their target area in record time and began establishing a makeshift base roughly a mile from the wreck as an act of caution. Kale and his squad were among the teams sent to scout out the wreck and see just what the hell they were up against. Charging an unknown enemy guns blazing was not the way to go.<br/><br/>"We're less than half a mile away." Kale spoke through the speaker in his helmet. "Keep your eyes on your sensors for activity and take the high ground. We have no idea what to expect from these strangers." He raised his left arm and fired the attached grappling hook, the winch hoisting him up onto one of the massive branches. His squad followed after him and took to different branches in the treetops as if they had done it a million times before.<br/><br/>Kale was honestly nervous on his part. Normally he relished the idea of a good hunt but this was different. He had never faced one of the star faring factions before, only heard stories about them on the rare occasion his people ventured out of their star system. "Use the big guns when fighting the star factions, they're nasty." They would always advise him when he asked about it. The Bladerunner warriors took the warnings to heart and every last member of his squad was armed with a high caliber weapon with exotic ammunition for good measure.<br/><br/>Oh yeah, this was going to be one interesting hunt.
