Splicer jumped out and ran to a cottage, got to the top and looked out the window. He pulled his radio from the vest he had on and talked into it "Uh, what exactly should I be doing right now? Im in a small cottage..." He turned around and bumped into a shelf, shattering a few plates and making a loud crash. "AH!" He quickly muffled his scream once he saw it was only a few plates. He tried to sense the area for lifeforms with his magic but he found none except the rest if his team. Splicer levitated the revolver out of its holster and also moved some furniture to the door, unsure if the aliens would get inside and kill him.

@,

 

The trip itself hadn't been all that bad all things consider. Oh sure, the knowledge that they were flying towards a hostile makeshift warzone against enemies that were armed with things that outweighed their firepower by leaps and bounds hung in the atmosphere of the Skyranger but the physical side of the ride was rather nice, if somewhat quiet.

 

Once the Skyranger touched down on the ground and the back started to open, Thunder gave his weapon a last minute check up to ensure the part of his mind that worried about such things that it was in working order before darting out of flying machine with brave caution, his gun raised as he swept it across his field of vision. Spotting nothing, he flicked his comm on before saying "This is Thunder, going up." To the rest of the squad before flapping his wings and raising off the ground, flying as quickly as possible towards the nearest rooftop in order to give himself a better field of vision as well as a higher position. He couldn't do his job as a medic unless someone was injured and the best way to avoid that was to find the enemy first. Once he was on the rooftop, he made damn sure there was nothing up here with him that wasn't meant to be before trying to spot or hear signs of enemy activity. 

Guardian was the next out of the Skyranger. He looked for a decent spot to set up a defensive hold so that the rest of the team can get out safely. In case the enemy decides to show itself. He spots a stone fence that is half his height. He quickly runs over to it and places his LMG along the top to give himself better accuracy. "This is Guardian, I'm in position." he radioed to his squad mates.

 

 

(Seriously? Radioed is a word?)

For the whole trip, Blockade's world was limited to the sound of the rumbling and rattling of the Skyranger, the group of soldiers, and nothing more than the Skyranger itself. A few ponies were quietly whispering to each other, while one was checking his gun. Blockade herself was silently unfolding the stock of her rifle, adjusting the scope, and loading her magazine. She also pulled back the pistol as well, loading it and placing it on her holster.

 

When the Skyranger finally touched down, Blockade ran for an empty building while checking for hostiles. Detecting none, Blockade proceeded on, taking out her rifle, holding it in the aiming position with her left eye staring at the magnifying scope, and her left hoof gripping right on top of the trigger. Her right vacant hoof was feeling the atmosphere outside.

 

No wind to interfere with bullet trajectory. Good. She moved her hoof to the radio, and declared, "Blockade, awaiting orders."

Splicer jumped out and ran to a cottage, got to the top and looked out the window. He pulled his radio from the vest he had on and talked into it "Uh, what exactly should I be doing right now? Im in a small cottage..." He turned around and bumped into a shelf, shattering a few plates and making a loud crash. "AH!" He quickly muffled his scream once he saw it was only a few plates. He tried to sense the area for lifeforms with his magic but he found none except the rest if his team. Splicer levitated the revolver out of its holster and also moved some furniture to the door, unsure if the aliens would get inside and kill him.

Thunder sees a cluster of 3 sectoids. As soon as he notices them, they move behind cover and look up at him. On his Heads Up Display, two are labelled as in 'high cover' and one is labelled as being in 'low cover'. They make no further actions, but he can sense that they will shoot at the nearest opportunity.

"HOSTILES ENGAGED!" The pegasus yelled over his comms as he dived for the chimney for cover, all subtly cast aside in favor of getting the word out and getting the attention of his squad. Quickly relaying the location of said hostile forces in a much softer voice and making sure that his cover was solid, Thunder rose out from behind it, took a moment to aim for the ugly little gray thing that was behind weaker cover before holding down the trigger of his gun and sending a small burst at it. Hit or miss, he would duck back behind the chimney and hope that he wasn't reduced to a red stain in  the coming seconds. He refused to be the first pony on this team to die!

Reever ran forward and crouched down behind some low cover and pulled out his radio.

 

"control this is reever engaging xray"

 

connor took aim at a sectoid in low cover that was a short distance from him and fired a burst from his assault rifle and smiled.

 

"Time to die alien scum"

"Oh shit!" Splicer threw the furniture across the room with magic and ran across the battle field, taking cover behind a tipped over wagon that still had straws of hey inside. He levitated the revolver out of cover and blindly fired it at anything that sounded like alien tech. He counted eight shots and dropped the gun back into his hooves, and almost dropped all of his ammo when a ball of plasma made a hole in the wagon and whizzed by his head. This time Splicer peaked over the wagon and aimed his revolver manually, firing at one of the small grey aliens.
