"This guy was driving tracked vehicles before they had any of these fancy new gadgets. If he has to, he unbuttons the hatch, sticks his face in the wind, and steers by instinct and guts. Sure, he's an expert with all the new hardware, but who knows if it's all going to work when the chips are down? Dodger isn't dependent on them, and that makes him somebody you can depend on..." | |

| DODGER's been fascinated with lasers ever since he went to a local science fair and watched a one inch laser beam slice through six feet of concrete like it was Swiss cheese. It was just a matter of time before he was using thermal imaging range finders, noncoherent pulse Doppler radars, computer driven, multi-mode situational displays, and a host of equally sophisticated high-tech equipment. With his invaluable field experience using laser-guided weapons, Dodger is now part of the Sonic Fighters. "Once Dodger sets his laser targeting sight on an advancing front line, he's got about thirty seconds to lock in, fire the round, and hit the dirt. And when that blast impacts, he's got about three seconds before it starts raining shrapnel. Why else would they call him 'Dodger'?" Assigned Armaments: M-A2 SAW [Squad Automatic Weapon] 5.566mm Machine Gun, 9m m Beretta Auto Pistol, Long Range Thermal Intensifying GPLW [General Purpose Laser Weapon], Short Burst Laser Pistol Weapons Qualification: Sharpshooter | |
