Snippet #958845

Holt looked at Kanade, and then at James, "Did you know any of this, James?"
"No...I knew the elves had crystals and things like that, but...Never that they were explosive. Must be alchemy then," James said as he shook his head.
"Very well...Timed bombs then, do we have any?" Holt asked out amongst his troops, and they went through their gear. "No...Not here...I've got some grenades and some string...I have a XM 230 and a detonator, it might work," it came from the soldiers, and Holt nodded, "Bomb and detonator it is then. Lets get moving."

With that, the scouts returned to face the mouth of the cave, and opened fire. Their silencers suppressed the majority of the noise that their powerful sniping rifles made. The heavy team was quickly shot down, followed by a surprise attack from the majority of the group, who made easy work of the remaining of the defenders, "Alright, you know who you are, so stay here and guard the mouth of the cave!" Holt ordered and then motioned for the rest of the team to put on their night vision goggles and then move through the dark caves.

The soldiers moved quickly through the tunnels. There were some form of light that occurred both from natural plants, mushrooms and other wildlife creations, and then there were oil lamps and other form of primitive ways to get light. Holt and his men had fallen completely silent as they were moving through the tunnels of the caves, they used some form of silent language to communicate with each other.
As they made a turn, a pair of rebels were walking down the tunnel. Taken by surprise of the human soldiers, they didn't manage to react till their chests had at least four bullets in them, however, this time their silencers didn't was as effectively as they were up on the surface, so they had to be more silent.

The group made it to one of the storage rooms, Holt, Kanade and three other soldiers entered the room where there were both human and elven weapons, plus a lot of harvested crystals, "Alright get the bomb strapped here, where the crystals are, and then lets hope that the explosion will seal both the entrances and destroy their weapon stash here."
