Vala stopped in her tracks and looked over the scanner closely.
"Nothing" she replied "....we should keep moving forward. See if this doohickey comes up with anything"
She looked up slowly, getting her bearings and began to walk at a contained pace.

Harper decided to ignore Vala's question and instead focus on their rear.

"Nothing" she replied "....we should keep moving forward. See if this doohickey comes up with anything"

Doohickey, he though, oh good l.... A twig snapped to their side. "Hold up," he whispered, holding his right hand up at head height in a fist. "Follow me," he once again whispered and he swung around to the left, moving backwards and towards the tree line.

Giada's head snapped up. She'd heard the snap too. "I hate trees," Giada murmured and followed Harper towards them. She held her breath as they got nearer. She looked back towards Vala. Shouldn't that "doohickey" of hers show life signs? Even if it did, she wasn't in a good spot to ask.

Giada turned her attention back to the tree line. She hate surprises... especially when the had guns.

Vala looked up sharply towards the sound of the snap, she looked confused. She bashed against the side of the scanner with her right hand and mutter obscenities at it.
"There's nothing on this thing" she said lowly, keeping her eyes focused on the tree line cautiously. "Something is definetly not right here"

Giada scanned the tree line. Personally she liked the idea of getting in the jumper and just firing off round after round into the tree line. Yet there was the slight problem that if no one was there that would basically say "Here I am! Come get me!" to anyone near or far. Well they'd be saying that even if someone was there.

"Sir," she whispered, "what's the plan?"

IC: Seamus replied in a whisper, "You and Vala continue along our intended path and act like you don't know anything's amiss. But at the first sign of danger, real danger mind, you bug out." He pointed to the other marine, "We'll swing around and try to get them from the side, if there really is anyone in there."

"Objections?"

((I'm still here, but Valera's gotten swamped with school work, and hasn't been able to be on.))

((Ok, was just wondering.))


"None from me Sir." She looked over at Vala. "Shall we?" Indicating the path ahead she started walking again. As they slowly walked along, Giada had to resist the erg to look at the tree line. Every once in awhile she'd causally scan the area around her. Maybe it had been nothing.
