The Lancers swiftness gains them the initiative. The Scout and Captain rush forward toward their objective, a small Inhabitabubble, keeping to cover.
The Fixer attempts to move forward toward the hut as well, but is fired upon by the GDF Sharpshooter perched atop some crates on Overwatch.

The Lanceguard now aware of the danger, takes aim on the Sharpshooter and fires, scoring two hits which prove fatal. The GDF Sharpshooter falls, the first casualty of the conflict.
