Perez sat somewhat exhausted in his seat, watching the scene in front of him, while fingering his canteen out of the belt. His underwear was sweat-swollen, his hands trembeld slightly as the adrenalin rush of the previous battle fell off beat by beat. He opened the canteen absent mindendly and began to sip the military energie drink. One look at Sykes and Wang told him, that they got severly wounded by this scorpion-bugs, Grayham was lucky to get away with a minor injury. Especially Danny didn't looked to well. Once again, Juan pulled out a necklace, kissed the pendant shaped as a golden cross and put it back into the uniform as part of and old ritual. He closed his eyes and sent a short prayer to the lord and thanked him, that nobody of his squad had bought it yet. As the rush of battle slowed down, his brain began to work.
Intelligence reports were negative about indigenious life on LV-426, nevertheless they encountered a deadly and aggressive life-form, which he never saw or heard before. Much worse, they got ambushed that close to the colonie of Hadley's Hope, which opened up the very possibility, that this bugs did overrun the colonie. How many colonist were on Hadley's ? About 150 of them. Families. Children. Oh god. And then there was the trap. At least, Perez had formed this conclusion for himself. One of them as bait in the downed APC, two more incoming from opposite directions using the terrain to their advantage. They were not just deadly, aggressive and dumb bugs, no, these were clever ones. How many more of them are out there now? Impossible to answer. But he had this gut-feeling, that the show was not over, yet and they would find out sooner than later.
Going through this kind of thoughts, he realised, that Grayham next to him was very silent and seemded to be in bad mood.
"Don't dwell on it. You are alive, and that is all, that counts. Here, take a nip, it will restart the engine."
He handed her his canteen over.
