[John's adjusting his rig in the lull, tossing empties and re-distributing the weight across his vest. He showed up with everything he had, and whatever he could grouse up from the communal stockpile of munitions and weaponry.
What would he be saving his bullets for, a special occasion? Something tells him the Null don't have quinceañera, and Poe made it very clear they only had one shot at this. Once the battle starts there's no going back. Not until it's over. John, a seasoned veteran of multiple galaxies and universes, knows better than to assume that 'over' will be within his lifetime.
He clips his rifle to the front of his vest, resting his elbows over the butt with a genial smile. All too comfortable amidst explosions and gunfire. He and Nate are cut from the same disturbingly adaptive cloth.
Granted, Nate requires significantly more yardage than he does.]
Let me guess. You need someone to come in like a wrecking ball? Or are you the ball, and I'm the chain? Or, maybe a wrecking ball operator. Either way, I've demolished a few buildings in my day. So shoot.
