“Hey,” Sundancer said from beside me, “Ten or so seconds until we lose them behind that building over there.”
Better move.
A quick check confirmed she was right. The direction their group was traveling would take them out of sight. I picked up the walkie-talkie, “Moving forward. You guys have eyes on them?”
“Moving forward.” made me think of chess, and by extension shogi. I suppose that only makes sense given how those games are inspired by war tactics.
“Yeah,” Grue reported. That would be our second squad.
Oh yeah, by the way, I like that Sundancer is in Taylor’s squad.
Although it does increase my suspicion that we’ll be seeing more of her reluctance to kill on purpose.
I suspect each squad has at least one or two of the heavy-hitters.
More specifically, I’m going to guess that Ballistic is with Grue, even if there are more squads than just these two, just because they feel kind of similar, like they’ve got almost the same… energy? I don’t fully know what I mean by any of that, but they do.
“Yep,” Trickster said, from the third.
Ah, yeah, makes sense he’d get to lead one.
By the way, are they all equipped with the sort of equipment Lisa suggested getting them at the meeting early in the Arc, so she and Oliver can monitor things from behind the scenes? That would be neat, though I suppose they haven’t had much time to actually get that stuff set up yet.
