Seems like a good idea.

Alice looked up at him, and thought for a moment, before nodding. “You may.” She nodded stepping back and to the right, allowing him to take the center.

Stepping into position he grabbed the repeater from his back and crouched slightly ready to go. Lifting her left arm, she tapped the bracer and watched her screen light up. With a few taps, she commanded the Afterburner to open the door. As soon as the door hissed, and slid aside, the three in front raised their guns, and looked out into the quiet woods. The hiss of the fire from the ship, and animal sounds began to trickle through the tense air into the ship.

“Go.” She whispered, and the two soldiers jumped out, and turned to the flanks looking for danger. Mulder jumped out next taking the center, as the two women in the back moved up.

Ledford placed her left hand against her temple, and thought for a moment. “I'm not picking up any signatures.”

Alice nodded. “Fan out.” She called out.

Immediately the soldiers began moving out into the forest, as the two women hopped out of the drop ship and surveyed the area. After a few tense minutes they had checked the immediate perimeter of the ship, and found no signs of hostiles. The ship was in bad shape, the left engine was blown, and the front of the ship had slammed into the ledge of a mountain.

A beautiful brunette soldier piled out with the the last of the infantry. “Mam, we lost Fishman. Stroked out during the fall.”

“Sorry to hear that Bosch.” She said, putting her hand on the soldier's shoulder. She knew her name, only because she was the only female of the **** squad. She hadn't had enough time to learn everything from the brief she had been given. “Mourn later, focus on the living. Set up a perimeter.”

“Yes mam.” The woman nodded, heading off with the others.

Hoping back inside the ship, she ran into Way, the sniper. His hair was a short brown, with neat bangs, his skin a nice brown complexion He had dark eyes, and just a touch of a smirk, as if he always thought something was funny. “Mam.” He nodded passing by her, his large sniper rifle gently cradled in his hands.

Giving him a short nod, she passed by the recovering medic, and found the Lieutenant walking back toward her. “Sit-rep.” He growled softly, though not annoyed at her.

“Initial check shows LZ is clear, perimeter is being set up now. We lost Fishman, stroked out during the drop.” She replied.

“Damn. We lost the weapon's officer to the cliff, the cockpit is breached, and coms are down. We're going to be here awhile. According to nav, we're a few miles from a mountain that was marked as a point of interest. “Take, Ledford, and two infantry and scout a safe path from here to the base of the mountain.”

“Yes sir.” She turned away.

“Oh, and Alice.” He called to her.

“Sir?”

“Don't take Bosch, I need to relieve some tension.” He smiled at her.
