A Lucky Shot?
Coffey’s getting all set for the long haul… building a foxhole and stocking it with supplies… of course, he’s got more experience than the recruit… but he’s taken him under his wing.
Bacon’s already learned a couple of really important lessons here; never underestimate the enemy’s luck… and when in doubt, go to ground!

Panel 3 Bacon: Or you could just call it a shovel. Coffey: Look, there's not a lot of cover around; you're gonna want to start digging. Panel 4 Bacon: Aw c'mon... Orks couldn't hit a Titan's broadside with a gu* An ork blast interrupts Bacon, as it narrowly misses their position Panel 5 Bacon joins Coffey frantically digging the foxhole Bacon: Dig faster.
