Malus tapped Delta's shoulder from behind him and grinned. "Damn good thing I disobeyed orders then, Corporal. Fall in, you're now Second in Command of this squad." He said, checking the soldier for any more nasty wounds. He didn't want the kid to get himself killed, because Malus had him listed under the very small 'badass' list.
He then turned to the door that Delta's squad hadn't managed to hack through, and grinned. After about three minutes, the door was wide open. "Okay. Delta, cover our asses, I'll take point. Everyone watch your angles, and keep an eye on any air vents. These fuckers like to jump out at ya." He added.
That uneasy feeling in his stomache was getting stronger, and he knew that they were being stalked. He didn't like being stalked, it was a perversion of the way he did things.
"Everyone keep in constant contact, report at 5 second intervals, and stay frosty. We'll go with an arrowhead formation." He added.
He didn't like this at all. Not one damn bit. Now they were from four squads to three already, and that was bad. Very bad. Turning to his CommTech, a Private-First-Class Harry, he nodded at the radio mounted on his back and said. "Report to Peterson that my squad has linked up with Corporal Delta, and we're continuing along his previous squads original path. Ask him if he has any revised orders." He ordered the young man, who nodded and got to work, speaking on the radio in a clear voice. Malus had picked the kid for his own squad because he took his job seriously, and wasn't a smartass.
In fact, there was only one smartass in his squad, and that was his medic, a Private Kawalski, who also served as the Guardian Of The Morale, an unofficial position in any squad Malus led, and a vital one. It was his job to keep everyone smiling, or at least not breaking down into tears. "You know, if we fixed this place up, it'd make a good hotel or something. Put up new wallpaper, maybe some potted palm trees. Or even a theme park: 'See the invisible hunter!" He said, with a grin.
