"I think I know where it is, I may have seen it when we came down." Petersen confirmed the location with Mendoza, "Yep, that's what I thought, let's go." He took Lt. O'Connor and Pvt. Sirus, and began to lead the way to the warthog. "wait, does anyone have a radio? It would be good to have a way to contact each other, if somthing were to happen."
~If we have a radio, it should stay with the wounded group, as their would be comm equipment in the warthog~
The 300 meters were uneventfull. But once the warthog came into view, the group saw the reason. A trio of elites and a squad of grunts were guarding the vehicle. "Alright here's my plan. Lt., you and I focus on the elites, with our rifles they should go down quickly, Sirus, you take the grunts, or the last elite, if we can't get him, use a grenade, if you dont have one, take one of mine. If either of you have a better idea, I'd like to here it."
When we last left our heroes...
"Man... it's like we're sitting ducks. If something does come on by, we can't move. All we can do is sit behind these pilfered shields until the wear down, and then we're toast. We need a better position." Gonzo looks around for a defendable position.
"There. You see that pile of garbage." An alleyway was partially blocked by a large pile of debris. "Vlad, if you can help Kelly behind that, Halloway and I can make our own way. We'll have better cover from there if anything does show up."
As if on cue, a low humming sound can be heard approaching. "Ghosts! Move it now, or they'll catch us out in the open." Gonzo grabs Halloway by the arm and pulls her towards the alleyway. "Now keep down... they might not see us if we're quiet."

If you're a fan of the needler or the plasma pistol, you may be offended, also there is some strong language. there, i'm done wih the disclamer, so go see.~
Three ghosts come hovering down the street, and slow to halt not twenty feet away from the group. The three Elites steps off of their vehicles and begin to investigate the carnage of the preceding battle.
After several minutes of investigation, two Elites step back onto their Ghosts and ride back in the direction they came, probably to report. The last leans casually back against the wall directly across from the alleyway, sniffing the air.
"Aw man ... why'd the sarge ditch me with the wounded. He knows i'm out here to kill stuff, not babysit. I bet he's raking up some kills right now. ARGH! I need something to shoot!
As Mendoza yells there's a slight glimps of movement down an alley way. It's slow and ponderous ... and heading toward the group.
Mendoza fires down the alleyway at the Elite who started running toward him. 4 hits burn away the Elite's shields, 2 more impact on the alien's chest and burn away at it's armored body. The elite drops to the ground a mear 3 feet from Mendoza a chared corpse. Mendoza then turns to the Jackels and Grunts.
"Well ... this is just great amigo ... my day keep getting better and better."
