"Roger that Sarge!" He said into the mic, and opened up on the squishies. First one round, a pull up then back then push and pull, then he fired again. His shot wasnt so precise, but enough to get good enough shots to seriously injure the bugs.
"Hey sarge, you expectin any sort of armor resistance?" He asked, seeing as all they were bringing out were infantry.

Eric had been fumbling with his plasma for some time, growling "Come on, come on..." as the machinery warmed up. The man was having to fall back some while his weapon was in the preparation stage. He hunkered down in his suit hoping that, in the open dunes they landed in, he'd appear to be another piece of debris.
Hearing the tell-tale hum and noting the mechanical click of the claws extending, the corporal grinned. "Now thats what I wanted to hear, baby." Encouraged by the ready-buzz, Renolds hopped up to his feet. He ran, setting his boots' jets on low, kicking up a veil of dust around him before firing towards the center of the enemy line.

Larq gave an annoyed "Brishhhhh!" as he realized the enemy had been alerted to their presence. "It's hard to sneak in giant metal suits, I suppose..." he thought to himself. "Private Fernau, clear a path for me to the communications array. Beta 3, cover Fernau. Beta 4, draw fire." he concluded that the heavy suit would be able to sustain more damage than the light suit, however, it was a tough call for him. A light suit could just as easilly avoid damage, though, in the event of failing to do so, would pay for it dearly. Larq was about to see how his plan would play out as he began advancing close behind the two light suits on their way to the comm array.

"Heh, will do." Now things were starting to get fun. A wicked grin on her face, Palira stowed her battle rifle and drew her vibrosword. She plotted a course for the comm facility entrance, kicked on her jump jets, and sped off. She kept her altitude lower than she had before, nearly ground level, instead using the propulsion to rocket her forward, and slashing at any of the buggers that came too close.

The rocket's trail arched up into the sky before falling dead-center on the fuel bunker. As the walls penetrated and the fuel caught, larger booms could be heard, and plumes of black smoke and red flames lept up from the destroyed target. "Well, that was easy."
The Detolybo attack on the other teams caught her attention for a moment, and she lost her focus. Seeing the others taking out the infestation, she had a strong urge to draw her sword and hack apart some of the insectoids. However, a large boom as her leader's attacks on the target hit brought her attention back, where she had to move quickly to avoid a blast from one of the Detolybo weapons. "Target Destroyed. Awaiting further instructions."

"Fuel, ammo, and water supplies have been destroyed. Proceeding to rendezvous with Delta." Jovi said into the mic, then began moving into the city. The deeper they got in, the more bugs there were to squish. Also, the deeper they moved, the bigger they began to get.
"I think we have a problem!" The squad leader of alpha said, shooting his rail gun at anything that moved. They were trapped, boxed in by a large stone wall that wasn't going down easily. With a sliding motion, Jovi pulled one of his Bagalore war blades off of his back, and thrust it as far as he could into the wall.
"Fire in the whole." Was all he said before the the blade exploded, sending chunks of stone flying everywhere, and pushing his light power suit back 20 feet.
"Were in bussiness!"

(Note: Alpha leader is a woman, not a man, and is a corporal, not a sergeant)
Selina caught Jovi, her bigger suit barely rocking from the impact of his lighter suit. " Sometimes I wonder about your common sense," she remarked, giving him a shove towards the hole he had blasted open. " Check it out, and take 3 with you. Make sure you didn't just make us an exit into a bug hive." She waved Zyphan after Jovi.
Delta's charge through the Detolybo base was quick, the bugs falling back from Eric's plasma blasts and Broem's quick laser pulses. Molten material and burnt bodies marked their path, until the spaceport stood before them. Several serrated vessels dotted the flat field of the port, including one giant warship, it's engines humming in preflight warmup. If it got off the ground, it could flatten the whole squad if they dared leave the base into the open. " Delta lead, roast it!" Broem ordered, pointing towards the three fuel vehicals that were just disengaging their lines from the warship.
The Detolybo tried to cut off Palira at first, clearly distainful of the idea of the smaller creature, even if armored, taking them on with a blade. After four fell missing vital organs, the bugs began to take her more seriously, but any one that managed to block or dodge the sword was caught by rifle fire from 3. The two light suits sliced a path right through the Detolybo, the two heavy suits of Beta following up and scattering those that remained.

(sorry, but whenever i said Sargent I was talking to you)
"Whats going on over there delta?" Jovi asked over the com set, now at the center of the city. If he wanted to use his jump jets to get an aerial view, he would get diced up by a huge crossfire from anyone who could see him.

(k, it just seemed you answered selina with a 'roger sarge' so I wanted to clear up any misunderstanding)
" Delta's busy," Broem replied, launching his remaining missiles and turning several light starfighters into debris and rubble. " So am I, if your mission goals are complete, start towards the evac zone."

There it was....their communications array. Larq would have to plant time bombs along the base of the array to ensure its destruction. What's more, to ensure something of this size would fall, they'd have to all go off at once. As they reached the base of the array, Larq began planting the first bomb.
"Beta Fireteam, cover me while I deposit the bombs. After all the bombs are planted, don't stay for pictures and souveniers, as you don't want to be in the neighborhood when these go off. he said with humor. He would set the time bombs to all go off 35 seconds after the fourth one was in place. They couldn't risk the array being up any longer than that.

(I'm no expert in military explosives, but 5 min seems like a hell of a long time in the middle of a battlefield. I would expect more about 30 seconds, especially in light of the added protection and speed of the powersuits)
Beta 4 moved to shield Larq, the heavy suit's twin lasers sending the Detolybo ducking for cover. " Sir, I'm reading some signals, could be their comm warming up for a deep space burst. Permission to engage jamming." 4 sounded conflicted, if the Detolybo got off a signal, it would blow the whole mission, but to jam a comm of that power would also jam all comms in the area, the team's included.

(I know I wouldn't want to take gunfire for five minutes to protect some stupid time bomb.)
Smirking at her COs slight joke and at her defeat of the idiotic bugs, Palira put a question to Larq. "Isn't it about time we got rid of their power? Two of us can do it while you plant the bombs." Truth be told, she just didn't want to wait for him to be done before moving on.

*OOC* Editted. Again, my judgement when it comes to things like this is terribly poor.
*IC* He positioned his suit's back against the second corner of the array. He had a horrible fear that the explosives would go off prematurely, but the others seemed to feel at ease. Beta 4 suggested an idea to him, but it would leave them vulnerable. He would have to decided whether to allow Beta 2 and 3 to attack the power, or to wait until after the explosives went off. As his suit began moving to the third position, he came to a decision. "Fernau and Beta 3, hold your positions. Beta 4, permission to jam. The jammer will not be required for too long however." He understood that the power needed to be shut down, however, should the privates be overwhelmed, a distress signal would be impossible, leaving them terribly vulnerable should they become surrounded. Larq decided that it would be best if Palira waited until after the comm was down and the jamming was halted before she began the advance on their power supply. With that, he placed the third bomb.

"You be careful Aquaman, jamming should be a last resort." Renolds advised the newly promoted Larq. Eric's words were warbled from interference due to the heat from the warming plasma cannon. He wasn't so good with the electronics, opting to work with moving parts rather than small intricacies.
His thoughts were cut short as a few well placed laser blasts created small burning dents in his armor. The man fell back against his heels, firing his weapon towards his assailant. The movement of his body caused the hyper-heated ammo to hiss through a pair of spindly legs and a thud against the steel wall of a tank like vehicle.
"Jesus where'd that one come from?" The corporal gasped. There were reinforcements coming in from deeper within the bug encampment and the short-sighted soldier didn't think much farther than his immediate vicinity. "We have some new friends from up the center. Watch that blast radius, Beta 1. We may be losing some from your area."

" Dammit Renolds, the ship!" Broem grabbed Eric's armored shoulder and spun him towards the warship preparing to rise, sending a pulse of laser fire towards the tank. " You've got the only weapon on hand to make a dent in that, blast it!" He gave the corporal a shove and ducked aside as the tank opened fire, a heavy shell passing between the two powersuits. " Larq, engage jamming, but get that comm down quick. Everyone else, finish up and head for evac." Broem lit his jets and leapt at the tank, landing on top of the armored vehical, smashing it down, the grav lift unable to handle the extra weight. And then there was a hiss and all comm traffic died as Beta 4's ECM gear went to work.
Beta 3 sighed and shouldered his rifle. The bugs had fallen back to regroup, and Beta team had a few seconds to recover before the attack came again. He turned on his external speaker with another sigh, he thought it must be some kind of joke on command's part that they put him, the comm specialist, in the same team as the suit that carried the gear that made his own useless. " I swear," he muttered to Palira, " there should be a rule against putting light and heavy suits in the same team. All the heavies do is slow us down..."
