Master Sergeant Braelynn "Shadow" Di'Tomasso sighed softly. She was the company first sergeant of Easy Company, Second Battalion. She looked down the sights of her rifle as she noticed several Klingon columns advancing into the city. "Gonna be a shity night tonight." the Orion female commented. "It's not because of the weather either ladies.."

Sergent Orellia Stark smiled. "Well the Klinks sure know how to ruin a good time on the town." she was serving as the spotter for Di'Tomasso. "I can see a General... You want him?"

"Can I bone him please?" Inquired Gunnery Sergeant Odessa "Smoke" Martell who was likewise peering down at the General in question. "Please?" she whined softly.

"Oh alright. I know you get off on this shit... So.. He's yours.." Di'Tomasso sighed, her colleague's sexual conquests and her habits were truly legendary at times as she was rumored to be impossible to satisfy in bed or anywhere else for that matter. "I see you."

Sergent Merris Kellog chuckled softly. "He's set... go ahead."

Martell smiled as she pulled the trigger. "Give... my regards to Khaless," she spoke in soft tones as the round she fired went down range and smashed into the target, impacting and dispensing all of its kinetic force all in one motion. In short, the Klingons head simply exploded.

Di'Tomasso smiled as she watched the chaos before she likewise pulled her trigger, her ordinance picking off targets as she wished, a few rounds, however, went wild as one Klingon found himself missing an arm rather than his head but after six shots. Di'Tomasso stopped firing.

"How many did ya get?" there was something playful in Martel's tone of voice.

"Three... Three probables.." Di'Tomasso responded.

The door opened to the large balcony where these four Orion female snipers were located as Colonel Brad Taylor emerged, Mastodon looked annoyed. "What... Do you not know how to address an officer?.... you four are pathetic.!"

"Not in the field Colonel." Di'Tomasso answered evenly. "It's called sniper check."

"How dare you address me so!. I will make you my bitch woman.... " Mastodon snarled at her.

Sergent Merris Kellog outright ignored Mastodon's ranting until he grabbed her by the simple ponytail of black hair. She snarled as she drew her knife and swing it at him, missing only through sheer chance. "What the fuck, you stupid retarded idiot!" she snarled at him.

Mastodon simply hauled off and punched her, she found herself falling to the deck as the doorway suddenly exploded outwards as several Klingons rushed the position occupied by the Federation marines. Braelynn DiTomasso watched in horror as two Klingon troopers began to turn, she thought they had an anti-tank style weapon each but to her endless horror, they were actually flame throwers. "Shit. Get them first!" DiTomasso screamed.

The Klingons took aim and began shooting with the Federation marines returning their fire with this own ordinance, as a flamethrower soldier exploded thanks to Odessa Martel throwing a grenade which bounced off the far wall but the second guy fired his flamethrower right back at her, but he somehow managed to fry Mastodon first who simply turned, and jumped off the top of the building, screaming in agony as he went.

Sergent Orellia Stark had two rifles as she began hosing down the Klingons with both of them, set to heavy stun but set to rapid pulse mode but she got a blast of fire, full in the face which killed her quickly as she simply melted before the rest of the marines.

Odessa Martel snarled something in Orion which made DiTomasso and the rest of the females blush but it only angered the remaining Klingons before they were quickly picked off but Martel took a glancing hit from the liquid fire, this sent the Orion female to the deck, writhing in agony as she screamed and screamed.

The squad medic came over and began tending to her as DiTomasso finished the last Klingon's before she took a moment to ensure they were all dead with her dropping them all off of the top of the building, one of them was playing dead so she simply stabbed him once before she cut his throat. She rammed a Klingon grenade into his mouth but before she tossed him off of the building, she pulled the pin.

The wounded Orion female smiled as she watched the explosion consume the wounded Klingon before his fuel tank went up in a fireball that was at least a hundred meters in circumference. DiTomasso turned. "We need extraction now."

"Working on it." came the response from Sergent Merris Kellog. "I have her stabilized for transport but she needs a medical facility R.F.N" she indicated the sedated form of Martel. "Stand by team five... You're next to be evac'ed." came a response before the half dozen or so marines were beamed away.
