Makita simply tosses herself over the railing and drops to catch the metal bars of the landing below her, then drops again to land on the ground at the bottom of the stairs. It's a practiced sort of motion.

Then she leads the way across the thick snow, following a course parallel to the one the Reds were following. Eventually she pulls up short. "About three blocks ahead there's a major intersection. You'll know it's the right one because it's got a shattered fountain in the center. We'll catch the Reds as they come through there." She nods at Goldy, "The entire intersection is surrounded by good sniping spots. Take your pick, and your first shot will be the signal for everyone to move in."

"Everyone else? You're here because you know how to handle yourselves. I'm guessing we've got maybe ten minutes before the Reds arrive. You've got that long to set up whatever you're setting up. Remember to wait for Goldy's shot. Once we hit them try to stay in touch by comm."

"It's possible we won't get them all at first, and they may scatter. Don't lose contact with them. In this snow they'll be hard to find again. If we get separated, meet up back at the plaza where we're headed now."

"Let's go then." She turns and starts moving.
