Sargent Decebalus was leading his team of Cheetah over the rugged terrain, looking for any target of opportunity , hoping that his actions will create disarrays in the ranks of the Gallic Ground Forces. He looked at his Radar and he saw that the other 4 vehicles follow him in close formation. He remembered the encounter he had with a small patrol from the Royalist forces on the planet and the quick battle.
Taken by surprise by the Crayterian Cheetah, the Gauls were just looking at the vehicles , not believing that there is still an organized resistance on the planet. The Soldiers in the machines were feeling very anxious but that quickly lead to anticipation and the will to enter in the fray. Using the Mantle technique, the Cheetahs quickly round up the Gallic patrol and they started to discharge their weapons at them, causing minor injuries to a few Gauls and killing two, but then the vehicles came to a stop and 5 AIT launched from the vehicles with the weapons locked on the enemy soldiers, firing while they were in mid air. The episode ended pretty fast, as the Gallic patrol had been decimated in less then 10 minutes, leaving the enemy so baffled that they couldn't even send a request for reinforcements.
Decebalus was still lingering to that memory when he saw a lone figure making his way toward the factory which they have it marked in their maps as RG-23 and he smiled, thinking to add another Gallic soldier to the kill list "Contact straight ahead! Get ready boys!" he ordered his squad and the Cheetah started to increase speed.
With a dark grin on his face he picked up his rifle and using the HUD interface, he adjusted his targeting and started to press on the trigger, when his driver yelled over the comm "Crayterian Uniform! Crayterian Uniform!". Decebalus was feeling a bit lost about it and he almost dropped his weapon , which luckily was still attached to the magnetic string, and he opened the comm on a general frequency to the Squad "Friendly! The Target seems to be a friendly unit! However, move in with caution, do not just assume they are friendly just by the uniform!"
The squad continued for a few more minutes and they stopped near an exhausted Pilot, which looked a bit damaged, almost burned "CGF unit 6, Leeds Expeditionary Force! State your ID and your callsign ! And Gods forbid it to be old one and not adjusted for this mission or else ...." he threatened while keeping his rifle aimed at the pilot chest.
