The puppet vacated, taking to the canopy and leaving the thanator to snap at his ankles, and (most importantly) clearing the fire lane. Of course Chance had to wonder how the puppet move faster than the animal, on each attack he avoided even a scratch... how was that possible? But in the end it really didn't matter.
The solider drew down, again crouching down to steady his aim, and flicked the weapon into a single round function. He would get the kill shot now and with no danger to the civie...
And then the puppet dropped down again and foiled his fire lane. He half considered putting a bullet through the puppets brain pan, he even snapped his sights up to cover the blue head, but then lowered them again to his target, but his target was gone. Iron Tooth must have had enough of getting shanked and not even laying a claw on a stationary target. The beast was bloodied and hurt, and frustrated, so it dashed off into the woods to live and hunt another day.
"FUCK!" he snapped as his motion detector picked up the signal as the monster darted away, and was quickly beyond his range, and then he had to use every ounce of control pounded into him (by the military) to not revert to his gangland was and just blow the meat puppet away.
The soldier rose, marched back to the gate, and growled at the puppet as he passed.
"Cocksucker," he hissed as he went by.
He didn't pause or give the worthless civie walking stick another thought, he strode away, back into the colony, and back to other work. If they wanted to go out into the forest and die he didn't care. He wasn't they babysitter or their keeper. He did his job, they went out, came back, and that was what he was supposed to ensure. Anything they did now was on them.
He promptly vanished into the buzz of the colony, and went back to work doing things that didn't involve those particular three colonists.
