checking the coordinates on his snooper
Rafael sensed he was being watched
then he saw it
a Miasma Drone hovering at about 800 ft
it could be on a standard recon or it could be hunting
being so small they had to get fairly close to make a kill
he turned on his scrambler to block any microwave location capabilities
and he set the trap - a palmsized "jumper" with electromagnetic targeting
he set it for six seconds and started to run
drones like to hunt on the run
the jumper went off as the drone started firing
a .23 caliber bullet tore along Rafael's calf as he rolled into the cover of a cement divider
the jumper blew half the drone to pieces and the rest landed about thirty feet from Rafael
the machine gun was still firing into the ground
the operator had turned on the speaker and was laughing and cursing Rafael
in a dialect that sounded like Mamean 
he fired one shot and put out the speaker
"fuck you wingnut"
He sprayed cureskin on the wound and headed to the rendezvous.
