[i]The smells of war were nothing that seasoned mercenaries feared nor were surprised by. The only thing that concerned Sidewinder was the entrenchment of these other forces. Rubicon had so far been less than entertaining to deal with, and he’d shown his disdain for them rather bluntly.

Entering a combat formation, his expeditionary force began a slow advance, wary of any potential attacks.[/i]
