Snippet #2827546

Most of the soldiers are blinded by the white flare of light brought around by the ECM, but around five, including the rookie and the UL, manage to flip up their ORD's before it begins jamming. The arc the grenade followed was clearly shown by the white phosphorus, and they begin firing upon the origin of it, towards the thrower. The other soldiers quickly change out their lenses, fumbling with the tech in the dark, momentarily rendering half the force effectively blind except for the light that's generated by the shield. "Fuck, that's a diversionary. They're moving up," whispers one of the soldiers, and a barrage of fire is quickly lain down onto the ground in front of the forward motion.

The UL turns, hearing the sound of the scraping, and flinches back for a split second before lowering his rifle. "Fuck, TOC, what do I tell this thing? What does it want?" "TOC to FOT, extract is in 12 minutes. Begin hostility measures towards threatening anomalies. Recommended to attempt contact with both enemy force and the masked one." The UL quickly patches into radio comms on the local frequency, broadcasting to anything that could be received.
"This is the SEC Field Operation Team 10 to hostile forces, be warned, you are being given a chance to surrender without any bloodshed, or any further bloodshed. We want everyone to get out of this alive, and I'd prefer we leave this with some dignity. Nothing stopping us from both leaving, or just wiping out these... yeah, you see them. We likely outnumber you, and there's no shame in a ceasefire."

A quarter of the SEC units begin firing into the fog in an attempt to shoot down whichever of the creatures that stalk through it, successfully striking as many of them as they could hit in the darkness. While they're doing this, the rookie walks over to the Kreznik, raising both of his hands and pulling down the lip of his mask, again.
"Hi, uh, oh, What? Well, uh, we just obtained this-" He winces as a round flies from a guy standing next to him, and steps closer to the barrier to get away from it. "This is an important person, and we're trying to get them, uh, out of here so we can have them somewhere safe. The box is a, ah, precaution."
