Jaelle rode the sensors on the way down to the surface. Form activity on the surface it was clear the Exeter was expected. From initial estimates the foward base with the saber crews put the personnel strength near 200 souls.Normally an forward base of operation will normally only need a fraction of the total personnel of any origination maybe 20 to 25 percent of the whole, and that was a high end estimate. Going off those estimates, there should be near another 800 to 1000 personnel. Now not all of those would be combatants but enough to over run the away team.



No sooner than they landed and exited the shuttle that the small team came under fire. As sniper fire rained down on thier position. Ravok was the first tageted. But as the sniper's shot missed the sniper shifted targets to an other in the team. It was apparent that he was keeping himself moble from the diffrent vectors the beams we being fired from.
Jaelle had was the last to have exited the shuttle. She broke to the right as soon as she heard the screams and sounds of battle. She watched as an angry beam pieced Steelford's leg and sent him to the ground.
"Get out of th clearing," she yelled taking control of the situation. "Find cover, look for the light off the targeting sight and return fire." She raised her phaser knowing that the team had the clear the kill zone, Jaelle knew more we to come the snipers job was to sow confusion, take out their leadership, and wound the members of the team to decrease the away teams combat effectiveness.
She waited covering Steelford and the doctor, waiting for the next beam to break into the landing zone. Quickly her mind tactically assessed the situation from trianglaulating the shot already taken to try to predict from where she might see the glow from his targeting lazer.
It was a risk, Jaelle knew for if the sniper kept to his modis operandi it was likely she could be his next target. 'If I was him where would I shoot at me from.' She thought as she scanned the rigline.
There is was a slight faint red glow. She matched the sight with locking onto the sight. The last he would see was the red of her crisom eyes. She pressed the actuator on her phaser rifle as an beam hissed though the air toward their assailant.
