Just like I was worried about raising my voice with only half a mile of distance separating our unit from the enemy, the noise made by those humans quickly proved to be the best disguise for any sound that we made while approaching. 

Everything went pretty well, all the way up until the point when we encroached on the huge group of humans, reaching merely a hundred steps away from their rear guard.

'Dodge.'

It wasn't a conscious thought. It was a scream of my soul, uttered when my brain calculated stimuli faster than I could consciously perceive it. 

'Shit!'
