Women of the United Federation Marines

Staff Sergeant Gracie Medicine Crow is quickly becoming the most noted sniper in the United Federation Marine Corps if not in all human space. She's the go-to Marine for the most difficult missions. Not all of these missions are against human targets, and some missions require more than sniper skills. Gracie is tasked with a "material denial" target, in this case, a BOLO ("Be On The Lookout"). However, the circumstances are such that she will need support getting to the firing point and then exfiltrating, all on a friendly planet. Instead of having a squad of Marines as she would have wished, the powers-that-be decide she needs a SEAL team, the Federation's ultimate clandestine operators. SEALs are not overly fond of Marines, however, and they resent simply being in a support mode and having a Marine sniper assigned to them take the shot. Gracie isn't overly pleased with the situation either, but the mission comes first, and she'll do her best to accomplish it.
