Jet flicks out the loading chambers of his MGL and removes the first and fourth HE grenades, replacing them with flashbangs instead. He quickly moves up to the obstacle on his left, getting in good position to shoot any enemies that come down the straightaway. Aicaya steps in front of Jet and moves a little past the corner of the south side of the block, getting ready to blast anything that comes into view.

Conditions

John holsters the UXAMR and takes out the UXPDW, using only his right hand to wield the weapon. In his left hand, he begins to charge up a Kamaitachi blade. Stepping forward, he and Mike see a flurry of movement on the opposite end of the straightaway. Mike fires a round that goes directly into the head of one of the enemies- they look like mechanical or armored, but when the bullet impacts, blood sprays out. John hurls the Kamaitachi without hesitation (Roll + Wind at my Back = 7) and it goes faster than any of his ether attacks have ever gone, shooting down the stretch at tornado speeds. The blood of the first bot hasn't even all hit the ground when the blade slices through its abdomen and into a second bot, cleanly slicing through two in a row.

Conditions

Mike sprints forward a few feet and lays prone, shouldering his rifle and aiming down the straightaway. Two seconds later, a flurry of movement at the far end of the straightaway causes Mike to take a short breath and pull the trigger. A spray of blood- blood?- and the enemy starts to fall. He feels a gust of wind as John's Kamaitachi blasts over his head, speeding at an insane rate down the straightaway. The ether blade slices clean through the abdomen of the bot that Mike shot, causing even more blood to spray out, and it slices straight through a second bot behind the first.

Appearance: 5'9"
===Equipment===
Primary Weapon: Jackson [4|44]
---A heavily modified semi-automatic rifle, derivative of the twentieth century M14. It has a significantly shorter barrel, a forward mounted grip, heavy metal plating, and several gruesome looking blades, enhancing its durability for and usefulness in close quarters combat. It's been re-chambered for the heavier rounds usually found in precision rifles.
Secondary Weapon: I-2 Custom [20|20]
---An older variant of the current standard issue ISC sidearm, it fires the same low velocity ammunition of the new handguns. Fitted with a lighter polymer slide and a shaved down grip, it sacrifices balance and accuracy to make it one of the lightest weapons produced.
Tertiary Weapon: Bayonet blades on Jackson
===Inventory===

Mike holsters his rifle and takes out both his I-2 Custom and the UXRAP, feeling the combo is a little more suitable for close-quarters. He moves up to the first diamond block to his north, just past the straightaway passage, and sees Aicaya move up past him and a little to the left. Mike settles down and prepares to ambush any potential flankers, but no enemies show up.

Conditions

John runs around the north corner of the diamond block in front of him and turns to see a pair of bots barely 20 meters from him, and a pair much further back. Without hesitation, he slings the Kamaitachi blades forward (Roll + Wind at my Back = 6) at the two bots directly in front of him. They each roll to the side and put incredible distance between each other. John's not quite good enough with the Kamaitachi to get both of them, but he's able to bend the ether attack so that it veers to the right, hard, and slices straight through one of the bots. Blood splatters all over the floor as John raises the PDW in his left hand and squeezes the trigger, a split-second after the other bot has recovered from its dodge roll. A storm of fiery buckshot rips into John's chest while his UXPDW sprays out its payload at an incredible rate of fire, cutting down the second bot with a mist of blood before it can get off another shot. John's timing couldn't have been better: trying to take on two of these agile bots out in the open is just too tough. He tries to catch his breath while blood streams forth from half a dozen holes in his torso. With no other bots around, he's able to take a closer look at the enemies: Roughly humanoid, the bots are compact, perhaps five feet tall, and built for agility. They seem to have a decent bit of armor, enough to stave off some small arms fire, but they're not tough enough to take a lot of hits. It's not entirely clear to John why they have blood, however- if that even is blood.

Finally, two enemies come into view. "Gotcha, ya ♥♥♥♥" *click* "...click? Oh. ♥♥♥♥." Aicaya's PUSHKA jams upon trying to fire, and she instictively raises her arms to shield her head as two shotgun blasts slam into her armor (Roll + HIBISCUS + Grounded = 3) "It'll take more than that to bring me down!" Mike disappears around the corner and she hears him fire a hail of bullets from both of his pistols at the bots. His inexperience with dual-wielding is shown quite blatantly as a grand total of zero bullets make contact with the bots, but the unexpected fire causes them to dive back behind cover. Not wasting time, Aicaya hauls ass south behind the block to her left to give herself some breathing room.

Conditions

D moves forward to the next diamond, following Jackson, and conducts another quick scan along the way. He picks up much more than a shape of one of the enemies- for a brief second, one of them is nearly in sight, only blocked from view by a few inches of a wall. D finds that the enemy bots are relatively compact, about five feet tall, and lightly armored. Their lack of heavy protection leads to D's assessment that they're about as resistant to damage as a healthy human wearing light armor, but their extreme agility means they're probably much harder to hit. "Jackson, I've come to the conclusion that these bots cannot take much damage, but they are quite fast and adept at dodging. It would likely be best to try to catch them off-guard with 'sprays' of gunfire as opposed to worrying about weakpoints. We must not allow them to flank us, however: I feel their speed would allow even a single bot to do extensive damage from behind." D finishes. "Hm. That's a good strategy, I guess. I was just gonna... y'know. Shoot 'em. But I like that we know a little more about 'em. Good work, D."

Mike continues to wait when Aicaya catches his attention by yelling, "Gotcha, ya ♥♥♥♥" *click* "...click? Oh. ♥♥♥♥." He looks over to her as she raises her arms to ward off gunfire. "It'll take more than that to bring me down!" she grunts in defiance. Mike sprints around the south corner with both pistols raised, then rounds the east corner and starts to rapidly fire. The bots, caught off-guard, retreat behind cover and his shots fail to connect, but his surprise attack gives Aicaya time to hide. "Man, I gotta get used to using two pistols. It'd be really awesome... if I hit anything, anyways."
=============================================
Appearance: 5'9"
===Equipment===
Primary Weapon: Jackson [4|44]
---A heavily modified semi-automatic rifle, derivative of the twentieth century M14. It has a significantly shorter barrel, a forward mounted grip, heavy metal plating, and several gruesome looking blades, enhancing its durability for and usefulness in close quarters combat. It's been re-chambered for the heavier rounds usually found in precision rifles.
Secondary Weapon: I-2 Custom [15|20]
---An older variant of the current standard issue ISC sidearm, it fires the same low velocity ammunition of the new handguns. Fitted with a lighter polymer slide and a shaved down grip, it sacrifices balance and accuracy to make it one of the lightest weapons produced.
Secondary Weapon: Utataku Experimental Recoilless Automatic Pistol (UXRAP) [15|60]
---A .45 caliber pistol using an experimental design, coupling a shock-absorbing frame, enlarged muzzle brake, ported barrel, and heavy grip to dramatically reduce recoil, leading to high accuracy even when using fully automatic fire. A high-capacity magazine and full-auto fire make this gun absolutely devastating at close to mid range.

Conditions

Jackson runs to the next diamond and takes cover. A few seconds later, D follows him and starts to talk. "Jackson, I've come to the conclusion that these bots cannot take much damage, but they are quite fast and adept at dodging. It would likely be best to try to catch them off-guard with 'sprays' of gunfire as opposed to worrying about weakpoints. We must not allow them to flank us, however: I feel their speed would allow even a single bot to do extensive damage from behind." D finishes. "Hm. That's a good strategy, I guess. I was just gonna... y'know. Shoot 'em. But I like that we know a little more about 'em. Good work, D."

===Equipment===
Primary Weapon: JS-319 Shredder [30|0]
---This battle rifle made by Jirachi Systems has plenty of stopping power and accuracy, making it a reliable weapon at long range, but its full-auto fire selection means it's a monster at close range, too.
Secondary Weapon: JS-44 Rhino [6|20]
