Lucius was hit bad...he looked at Tom and laughed, saying...
"I don't know about you but this might be it for me. Let's at least buy them some time and use our brains for this. I want to try a pincer move. The way I see it, we would have to cut through the woods for two paths or head straight down the middle and risk getting cut to shreds with the little cover we have. I would much rather take the former and rely on the two paths. In this fashion, if we get close enough, for one he won't be able to use his rifle in close quarters and two, he will be attacked on two fronts so if one of us does happen to fall in combat, the other has a more than opportune shot of making the kill. How does that sound? Then again, I hear footsteps...it sounds like two individuals coming. In that case, go for the legs and deliver the killing blow. Now that they have guns, we will have to nab some off of them."
He looked around and finished with,
"Jessica, Tom...it was good being here but now I think I can finally fulfill my purpose as a soldier. Koto, if Agatha doesn't make it, see to it that Zeus is in your care. Saizo can have my rifle if I die. Just make sure he uses Browning .303 ammunition for it. As for my pills, I have an idea. Tom, follow my lead with the pills. Keep track of where the enemy is looking and watch your step."
