Call me a lunatic.

"Aira."

[Yes, my lord].

"Pull up everything Graveyard has on the Imps and the Corpse Eaters. Is it also possible that you become my spotter? Can you warn me if something attacks me?"

Snipers usually worked in teams, due to the large number of complex tasks required of a marksman. Calculations, area protection, and a wide field of view were required in addition to the actual shooting. 

But because the sniper would be focused on the target at the other end of his scope, it would be difficult for him to see anything else. 

So a sniper is assigned a spotter. The spotter's job is to do whatever it takes to keep the sniper focused on his target. Since I was operating alone, I was susceptible to being caught off guard. Since my role today was anti-air, I needed protection.
