For Derek and eventually Initiate

There's something to be said about not bringing a knife to a gunfight. Terezi has never been very skilled in firearms. Her forte has always lain in swords and staves and the ability to outwit or outmaneuver her opponent. Thus, when lots are being pulled for different teams of the mission, Terezi volunteers to scout for the Capitol explosives. It's dangerous work, but this is a war. What isn't dangerous at this point?

Once on the ground, Terezi sets out to keep track of the Capitol troop movement. Top priority for her is finding those bombs, not necessarily engaging the enemy. As such, she sticks to any tight spaces between houses, foliage, empty structures, and whatever other cover she can find. She has to keep track of both the ground and the rooftops for Capitol lookouts, but she uncovers a handful of explosives to report back to the Rebels. Most of the time, there's a team nearby to take care of it, but on this particular occasion, no one is close enough to help.

Steeling herself, Terezi slips out of her cover and over to the place where she observed the bomb being set. It's concealed by tall grass, pressed up against the back of a building. She goes to one knee next to it, resting her personalized staff-sword against the house. She might not be a natural bomb expert, but her fingers are small and slim for delicate work, and she's been briefed on how to handle these.
