A Word about Friendly Fire...

Playing Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow with the Jackrabbit can be perilous, for both the Tap and the Random XS. WHY? In one instant, the Jackrabbit is full of zeal, and is on the roll clearing "Tangos" outta his way. The Random XS follows behind gingerly. The sound of gunfire erupts as the Jackrabbit does his Rambo force of freedom thing... and then eagerly shouts "CLEAR!"
Now, tell me, what does "CLEAR!" mean to anyone who is in that situation? Or for that matter, what does "CLEAR!" mean to ANYONE in the context of urban warfare??? It means that the room is SECURED and CLEARED right? Right.
So, with the Jackrabbit being your faithful team mate (or so it seems)...you decide that the room is CLEAR of TANGOs (bogeys, bad guys, whatever).
So you forge ahead and take over to relieve your team mate, so he can recharge and go the next lap, fully loaded. Then, for what puzzles the living bejeebers out of anyone, you hear a deafening "BANG!". The world around you becomes blur, and breaks into a spin, and you collapse to the ground in an ever growing pool of red...

WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION YOU WABBIT? THAT's CALLED FATRICIDE YOU WABBIT!

The Tap shakes his head in dismay as he watches on...and the rest of the world follows. And this is just ONE instant. We have not mentioned about the misfortune of the Tap teaming up with the WABBIT. But it's late now, and the Random XS needs to recharge for what promises to be a busy day. One can be sure, that more gems such as these will arise.

But ladies and funky gentlemen, I'll let you take this with you for the day:
FRIENDLY FIRE, RARELY IS.
