The team moved deeper into the swamp, their pace slowed a bit by Scope, but he never complained about pain nor had a noticible limp all the while they travelled, he merely had a hard time keeping up on uneven terrain. Other than the occasional animal, they encountered little until they entered what appeared to be a dense forested section, but as Tori and Tak led them in, it was soon apparent how the huge machine was being hidden. Beneath the highest branches was cleared out, leaving a virtual forest cave large enough for a pair of Death's Head transports to land in.
A glance at the map put them practically on top of the target area

Tori marveled at the cutting beneath the canopy. Something HUGE could travel easily. She went low for a look-listen and waited to see if anything was about.

Kain follows up the rear of the group with Shep, observing the path left behind by the big gun.
"Seems legit." Kain mutters over the radio.

Janxi also stopped to watch and listen. A main supply road, which she considered the gun's path, was always a good place for an ambush. She studied the vegetation to see if she could track the weapon.

Takota, seeing the cleared out area, starts to investigate to see if he can tell which way the gun last headed looking at the grass, branches and bushes to see if they have been possibly folded over or broken in the direction the gun moved.

His mind apparently is not on thinking about work at the moment as he kind of daydreams about nothing in particular.

The concealed area was deserted as the squad moved into it, though it did have an odd smell to it. Whatever it was, it wasn't harmful since their helmet's filtration system let it through, but it was unpleasant. Over the team radio, Det said,"All right, which one of you three forgot to clean your litterbox before we left?"
There were tracks going towards both ends, mostly animals of various size, but there were several heavy bootprints mixed in.

Sam waits quietly as the others look for sign of danger and does the same. She wrinkles her nose at the unpleasant smell, but since it doesn't appear to be harmful to their health, she doesn't worry about it. "All right, we're getting close. I imagine they have people around, so keep sharp everyone." Sam says to everyone in a low tone of voice over the radio.

"Yeah, but do we go up tha trail or down? I reckon we done hit a fork... Janxi, Tacky, any sa-gestions?"
She continued to wait for a concrete heading or at least a general direction. A wrong turn could mean wandering for days in the opposite direction.

"Guess we're going to have to give the kitties a bath when we get back." Kain chimed in, complimenting Det's comment. It help with nerves while they got their bearings. The sooner they were away from the LZ drop point the happier he'll be. After reading the reports of mutant rats with Splorgy help, Kain was not eager to hang around in case someone came to check.
He sweeps his field of fire with his rifle, going back to Thermal to see if he could spot anything that wasn't big and scarely and probably carrying miltary grade hardware. Things that tend to stand out in a swamp.

"I gotta steak dinner on me if you could even give a housecat a baff wifout gittin' shredded, Kain. No drugs, no armor, no nuffin, just you, a cat, a tub an' soap-n-water." Janxi's tail gave a mirthful swish, but she remained low, awaiting some direction to move.
"Some two-way tracks, boots... Wanna follow the freshest?"

Takota constantly scans the passage beneath the trees in both directions while the others discuss which way to go. He is waiting for the order to come from on high though since that is the only suggestion that counts.
A somewhat crooked grin works its way onto his muzzle when he hears the banter about washing a cat. He loves the water so the thought of being wet does not bother him at all.

"Rats don't wear boots." Scope said, resting on one foot.
Shep moved up to alongside their injured teammate. " how bad?"
"Just annoying now, but I'm resting it whenever I can."
Shep nodded," Captain, you're call. The shags can track any of them, just need a call which?"

"Rats don't, but tha Sploogies do," Tori said. "Less call uh spayed a spayed here. We know we ain't dealin wif rats no more.
"An while we're at it, kin we please call in some drones? We know where he's shootin from we kin find 'em."
Tori's tail gave an impatient swish.

"Can't say I disagree with the drones this time." Kain says. The situation definitely changed with the scouts picking up signs of other forces in the area. Looks like they were going to play tag with Atlantis forces after all.

Janxi watched and waited. Until she had a direction, she couldn't track. She wondered just how big the gun was, and what it might take to bring it down.
"Are we spotting for the missile strike, and has anyone asked if they'll be shooting nukes?" She didn't care for the thought of spotting nukes in the slightest.
