Makita watches Proto settle into position and then counts silently to five. She lifts her carbine, exhales, and takes aim on the more distant of her two targets. The distance is short but that doesn't mean there's any reason not to aim at the harder target first.
Her finger curls back on the trigger and the sharp crack-crack-crack of a three round burst is a surprise even to her. It's just a much worse surprise for the scavengers as her target takes all three rounds in the chest and collapses.
Then, for one frozen moment, there is silence as the scavengers betray their lack of training. In the shock of the ambush only one of them dives immediately for cover. The two others stand there looking dazed.
