Source text - English Sgt Nbele gave the command, and the squad started moving down into the mine pit. Their march discipline remained tight with good dispersion and they descended. Unless the mine was abandoned, there had to be eyes on them now, and the more professional the Marines looked the more intimidating and the less likely that any Jimmylegs would want to tangle with them. Loyalty to an employer could only go so far.
He glanced to his left for a visual on Kim’s team. The icons projected onto his visor gave him an exact picture of their movement, but human nature sometimes took over, and he wanted to see them with his eyes. He could see three of the four Marines as they made their way through the rocks and dirt of the pit slope.
He blinked at Kim’s icon to bring him up on a direct comms when with a flash, his visor’s electronics went blank and his suit came to a sudden halt. His PICS had failed, something that had never happened to him before. He thumbed the emergency reset, but nothing changed. He tried it again, but with the same result. Of all the times for this to happen it had to happen now, on his first assault as a squad leader! He cursed CWO2 Slyth, the company ordinance officer, the man in charge of keeping the suits operational.
His Marines were well-trained. They would continue the mission, but he would be out of it. Cpl Castallano would have to take over the assault.
Translation - Portuguese O Sargento Nbele deu o comando, e o esquadrão começou a se mover para a mina. A sua disciplina de marcha lhes mantiveram unidos com boa dispersão e eles desceram. A menos que a mina estivesse abandonada, eles tinham que colocar os olhos para funcionar agora, e quanto mais profissional os Fuzileiros pareciam mais intimidantes e menos prováveis que qualquer Jimmylegs desejaria se emaranhar com eles. A lealdade a um empregador só poderia ir até esse ponto.
Ele olhou para a esquerda para visualizar a equipe de Kim. Os ícones projetados em seu visor lhe deram uma imagem exata de seu movimento, mas a natureza humana às vezes assume o controle, e ele queria vê-los com os próprios olhos. Ele podia ver três dos quatro Fuzileiros enquanto eles atravessavam as rochas e a sujeira da encosta do buraco.
Ele piscou no ícone de Kim para se oferecer a uma comunicação direta, de repente, a eletrônica do visor ficou em branco e seu traje parou bruscamente. Seu PICS falhou, algo que nunca tinha acontecido com ele antes. Ele acionou a reiniciação de emergência, mas nada mudou. Ele tentou novamente, mas nada adiantou. Tantas vezes para isso acontecer, acontece justo agora em sua primeira expedição como líder de esquadrão! Ele amaldiçoou o Comandante Slyth, o oficial direto da companhia, o responsável pela manutenção dos trajes.
Seus fuzileiros estavam bem treinados. Eles continuariam a missão, mas ele ficaria fora dela. O Cabo Castellano teria que assumir o ataque.
