Burke nodded as Reynolds spoke, giving his support as well.
Burke: Yes...what is the status of our ground teams? What can you update us with? What are our people currently up to, exactly? Would it be farfetched to assume that they are still engaged in active combat...or have things cooled down a bit?
Meanwhile:
Jennifer thought for a moment. She was unsure on how to proceed. Every option carried extreme risk and danger to it. This was by no means a simple decision, as anyone going up against The Risk Takers, would be putting themselves into a grave amount of danger.
Jennifer looked at Nighthawk, who then looked back at her.
Nighthawk: What is it?
Jennifer looked at NIghthawk. She knew that he knew that something was wrong.
Jennifer: Jacob reports that there is a very large team of Spartan's coming this way. Based on what you have told me...they may be here for you.
Nighthawk: Shit...I have expected that I would see them sooner or later.
Nighthawk paused. He thought for a moment.
Nighthawk: Where are they coming from?
Jennifer: They are moving through the main corridor. We branched off from it a while ago. Chances are, they will move up on our six.
Nighthawk looked back the way they had come, and then back at Jennifer.
Nighthawk: I will move to intercept. I will try and keep them off your ass.
Jennifer: Jacob says that he could try and intercept them.
Nighthawk: Negative...I don't need his death on my conscious. I have enough to answer for. Tell him to proceed as he was. I will deal with these Spartans...somehow.
Jennifer gave Nighthawk an unsure look...but she gave way, and then spoke to Jacob again.
Jennifer: Jacob...carry on...as you were. Do not engage. Repeat...do not engage. Can you acknowledge?
