Dyson's grin could almost be seen through his faceshield. " I'm just your radio operator, ma'am. The sergeants are here to do all your thinking for you."
The few soldiers that can be seen through the underbrush exchange looks at each other before starting to regroup, sloppily taking a classic troop advancement formation. Their only communication now seems to be an unfamiliar series of hand signals
Lesa came up beside Ellie as they scrambled through the forest. " I'm no soldier, but is it just my imagination or did they let us go way to easy?"

Lobo makes his way back around to where the refugees are grouped waiting for everyone to decide on which way to head.

"I agree," Ellie says to Lesa.
Ellie radios to the Lt "Ma'am should we have a forward scout so we know we're not walking into another ambush."

Sam replies to Ellie over the radio "Good idea. I'll go ahead and check things out. Will radio back ASAP" Nodding to Dyson, she says "Keep your eyes open. I'll go a little bit ahead and check things out."

Dyson nodded, and let Sam get a good headstart before following her. Before long, the Luietenant catches Ellie's group quickly, as does Lobo.
The others still posting rear guard come to realize that the pursuing platoon was nowheres near as inept as first thought. They start to split into three team and begin to advance slowly, very close to the way special forces trained to do so. As the teams began to advance, the overhead Samas matched their progress forward.

"Sung's men." Mary says on the Comm to Rhys. Moving on the fringes of the far-right-most, to the rear, Mariana loads her grenade launcher, and fires it right into the midst of them. Without looking to see if it hit, she changes position, knowing the SAMAS will be looking for the launch point.

Lobo starts to double back straight toward the approaching soldiers, while moving he straps his plasma cannon to his back and readies his forearm blades, he figures he may be getting a little close to these guys for a rifle.

Mary turns on the radio after firing the grenade, still hiding in the bushes. In a hoarse whisper, she says "Hey, big mama. It's killer bees. Too many to swat. Keep our wits about you." And she puts the radio on passive, listening.

The soldiers make very little noise despite taking a solid blast to their ranks by the grenade blast. Several laser bursts stitched the area Smith had just been. Lobo's headlong flight at the enemy got him exactly where he wanted to be, steppin through the underbrush and directly into one of the squads of soldiers. Caught off guard, the soldiers spotted his arrival and started to level their rifles on him.
Daryn piped up as Dyson was about to repeat what he was picking up on his radio. " I know it's not my place Luietenant, but can I say something? These soldiers following, they remind me of a trick Shep taught me a long time ago. If you make the person you're following think they're getting away, you can track them easily once their moving."
Dyson turned to Sam. " But if he's right, it doesn't make any sense. They already know where Westvale is, they attacked it, right? Why would they want us to lead them back there?"

Realising they weren't gonna give up, Mary figures it's about time she went South to meet Shep and bring up whatever trick he has waiting there.
Moving as fast as she can, she makes her way to the brook south to meet up with him.

Sam frown and shakes her head "I don't know" she admits "What kind of advantage would they gain by making us think that? The only thing I can think of is that they think it'll make us lower our guards and make us easier to catch. If, in fact, they want us to lead them back to Westvale, there has to be something there that they want." As she continues cautiously, she says quietly "I just wish I knew what that was."
Turning to Daryn, she says "Good thinking, kid." and continues looking around for anyone who might try to surprise them.

" Thanks L.T." Daryn smiled broadly, beaming as he looked around at everyone.

Lobo smiles as time seems to slow for him, his bio comp starts to flood his system with a multitude of drugs as he moves forward with an uncanny speed right to the center of the squad. He grabs the closest person to him and attempts to stab him in the throat with his forearm blades.
13+4 initiative
16+8 to strike
13 MD if hit

The suprised soldier didn't get a chance to react as the claws slashed into his throat. The other eight soldiers Lobo had entered into their midst began to start shooting at him with their pulse rifles. He could feel two of them strike home. [ 12+9 MD dmg]
