As the adrenaline wore off Tarvo realized just how much pain he was in. His eyes were swollen and streaming with tears from the CS gas drifting through the air, the rag was doing an ok job of filtering the CS gas and protecting his lungs from the effects of the gas. He refrained from rubbing at his eyes. There was no use in it.
Tarvo, pop that blue at them if you still have it," he ordered
"Copy that, one blue smoke coming up." Tarvo said, his voice strained with pain. He flicked the activation switch for the grenade launcher and braced the rifle against his shoulder. Through the gas-induced tears Tarvo could see the rising look of fear in the crowd's faces. He made some aiming adjustments and fired. With a Ploomp the 40mm blue smoke was on the range, landing perfectly where Tarvo wanted it to, at the protestors feet, but away from any source of fire. With a pop the grenade went off, blue smoke filtering in to the air. There was no injury caused to the crowd but still, some screamed in shock and surprise as they backed away from the grenade.
Tarvo lowered his rifle and turned back to AJ.
"Hey boss, my eyes are fucked up. I've got to get out of the gas." He said. His voice was a mix of pain and shame. Pain at the effects of the gas on his body, and shame because his failure to bring a gas mask meant that he was, at least in his mind, failing Red Team by needing to clear the road.
