#Missing – March 28, 2014

Mendez 's armor plate is removes by Renala, causing a large spurt of blood to erupt from the wound as the pressure from the armor is alleviated. He groans loudly, "Fuuuck. How bad is it?" he asks.

Jason steps into the hallway with his Revenant raised and keeps it trained on the door at the far end of the hall.

Renala looks concerned as removing the armor had that effect. "It's... gonna be fine," she says, though her tone isn't too confident, as takes off one of her armored gloves. "Appying the gel now, might hurt a little." And with that, she starts applying it to the wound, using quite a bit due to the depth of the wound.

Mendez winces, jittering a bit as the gel is applied. "I'm fine..." he says, not sounding too sure of himself, "Came out of fucking nowhere...".

Kim pops in a new thermal clip into her pistol before lowering it to face the ground. "What the hell are these guys?" she asks before moving towards the pilot and tugging at him to get him to his feet.

Renala finishes applying it, looking over the wound to see if the bleeding stops. "Yeah," she says. "Should be four more of them if the pilot's right."

(Enemy) Pilot puts his hands up and quickly climbs back to his feet. "You better be damn sure she's dead!" he says, nodding towards Jana's corpse.

Zaylus looks down at the human female crumpled on the ground. "You... don't really think?" He asks, still somewhat dazed. Before the pilot can response, he discharges another shot, this time aiming for her head.

Zaylus nods to himself, as if satisfied. Even so, he moves cautiously past her and rejoins Jason at the entrance, looking somewhat dazed.

Jason continues further down the hallway as he's joined by Zaylus, careful to step around the bodies. "Ugly is what they are." he shouts a response to Kim. "How you holding up, Mendez?" he asks without looking back.

Mendez 's wound stops bleeding as the medi-gel has thoroughly sealed it, but he'll no doubt require some serious medical attention. He climbs to his knee and reaches across his chest with his right hand, patting his shoulder. "I'll be fine..." he shouts in response. "Get my armor back on..." he grunts a request to Renala.

Kim smirks at Jason's response, but the smirk fades away wehn she looks towards Mendez. "You look like you can barely stand. Are you sure you can even hold up a gun with your shoulder like that?"

Renala nods, and puts the armor piece(s) she had to remove back on. "You should see a doctor when you're back in town, though," she says before standing up.

Zaylus glances back at the rest of the group, but progresses down the hall as Jason begins to move again.

Mendez shrugs away from Renala once the armor is replaces. He reaches out with his right hand and picks his Katana back up before standing. "Do I have much of a choice?" he asks, glaring at Kim for a moment before stepping towards the hall.

Jason nears the end of the hall and steps aside, waiting for the others to catch up.

Jason glances back down the hallway momentarily. "Renala, you're up!"

Renala nods and makes her way through the hallway, remembering the pilot's omni-tool this time. "On it." She picks it up and starts looking around it for a key or means of opening the door.

Renala uses that program and tries to get an idea of all its capabilities as well as a means to identify this specific door.

Renala frowns, and uses the available option, hoping it'll open the nearest door.

Mendez takes a position behind Jason. A pained expression crosses his face as he takes a knee and hoists his shotgun at the ready.

Renala heads over to the left doorframe, pressing herself against the wall. She glances at Jason, waiting for an order or everyone to be ready.

Jason takes a knee beside Renala, mostly exposed to the doorway, but in a position to fire through the door without getting in Renala's way.

Zaylus positions himself opposite of Renala, reading his weapon.

Kim stays outside the hallway, deciding instead to keep an eye on the surrounding area for the moment. She keeps a very close watch on the pilot at the same time.

Mendez mimics Jason's actions and moves beside Zaylus. The look on his face would make it clear that he's struggling a bit.

Jason actives his comms, "Got it." he says plainly, remaining focused on the door. He gives Renala a quick nod, "Open it."

Renala reaches out and taps on the door's interface, quickly getting behind her cover while the door opens.

Renala leans around cover as the door is fully open, catching some of the gun fire as she sends off a 4-shot burst towards the leftmost Avenger-using hostile. She gets back to cover, her shields depelted. "Fuck," she mutters.

Mendez manages to fire off two shots with his Katana as he's pelted with gunfire. He aims his shots at the other Avenger-user before stepping out of the line of fire.

Jason takes quite a hail of rounds, his shields spark and fizzle out nearly instantly. He quickly presses himself against the hallway wall beside Renala. "I count six." he shouts, cussing softly under his breath.

Zaylus takes a few pings off his shields as he leans slightly out of cover, pulling himself back in a moment later. He mutters something quickly under his breath, glancing at the others.

Renala snorts. "Uh-huh?" she says, not buying that at all. She is still in cover while her shields recharge.

Mendez leans out with his shotgun raised as the gunfire becomes more sporadic and unleashes another couple of shots with his shotgun before returning to cover. He pays no mind to the slaver's taunts.

(Enemy) Pilot looks in the direction of the gunfire for a moment before returning his attention to Kim. "Look..." he says, "There's no way they're getting through this. But we can still make a run for it." he pleads, "Come on, this is crazy!"

Zaylus notes and apparent lull and uses the opportunity to get a better look for himself as well as squeeze off a few shots, after Mendez returns to cover.

Jason reaches down and removes a grenade from his belt. He holds it in front of his face and gives Renala a shrug. "You think that room can handle a blast without bringing the whole place down?" he asks.

Kim keeps behind cover as gunfire streams through the door. She grits her teeth and thinks for several moments, but glares at the pilot as he speaks. "Shut up. If I had a choice between running away from certain death with you or dying, I'd take the bullet and die."

Jason raises an eyebrow. "That..." he nods in the general direction of the room, "...was your handy work?" he asks with a large grin, "The more I get to know you, the more I like you." He looks across at Zaylus and Mendez with a nod. "Stay clear." he says as he activates the grenade. He leans into the doorway and underhands the grenade towards the center of the room before quickly pulling

(Enemy) Pilot folds his arms across his chest and glares at Kim. "Stick around here and you're sure to get your wish." he groans, "This is so stupid! The shuttle is right there!" he shouts, casting a glance down the path.

Renala remains in cover after the grenade is thrown. "Can't take credit for that one, I'm afraid," she says, "but the bunch of us did some damage on the way out."

Zaylus remains backed into cover, turning from the tossed grenade.

Mendez leans heavily against the hallway wall beside Zaylus, grunting loudly as his shoulder makes contact with the wall. He lowers and pulls his arm up alongside his head to protect it from any potential debris.

(Enemy) Pilot jumps at the explosion and nervously looks over at Kim. "We have to get out of here!"

Renala waits for the debris to settle before casting a glance into the room to assess the damage, and the number of remaining hostiles.

Jason blinks hard and shakes his head, attempting to get rid of the low ringing sound as he raises his Revenant and tentatively rounds the doorframe.

Kim grits her teeth and points her gun at the pilot. "Run and I'll gun you down. You're in this just as much as the rest of us."

Zaylus holds his stances as the moments pass, letting go and peering around the the chaos settles. He seems to scan the debris, making an uncertain "hm" sound as he does.

Jason steps over some of the crate-debris and scans the area for any threats as he enters the room while sweeping back and forth with his Revenant. He activates his comms, "Kim, get him in here."

Kim glances down at Jason's message and gives the pilot a sarcastic grin. "Looks like you're too late. After you."

Renala follows after Jason, looking around the room for the same reason. "Hm?" she says at the pained moan, starting to step towards the edge before stopping and looking up instead in case that was a trap.

(Enemy) Pilot gives Kim an icy glare before slowly starting down the hallway.

Mendez climbs back to his feet and follows the others into the room. His breathing is a bit erratic.

Kim laughs at the glare and follows the pilot in... at a few steps behind and her gun raised, of course.

Renala shakes her head and looks over at Mendez. "You sure you're alright?" she says before stepping up to the edge and looking down. "Who are you?"

Zaylus paces to the other side of the room, inspecting the wreckage. Only when the voice speaks up does he divert his attention.

Mendez waves the asari off. "I'm. Fine." he says, sounding a bit frustrated, "Focus on the job."

Jason joins Renala at the edge. He glances over the side, looking for the source of the noise.

(Enemy) Pilot enters the central chamber and his eyes go wide as he stares at the bodies. "What did you-..." he pauses, gaining a somewhat sad expression.

Renala points her Locust down at him. "Why?" she says. "From my experience, every one like you have tried to kill us."

Renala frowns, sending off a 5-shot burst towards the turian, and two shots at the human he's hauling with him.

Jason shoulders his Revenant and opens up at the pair, unwilling to give them an opportunity to escape.

Zaylus quickly approaches the edge with his weapon drawn, but hesitates to fire.

Jason turns to the pilot, looking a bit frantic. "You said the slave quarters are on the lowest level, right? Where?" he demands, casting a glance towards the doors on each side of them uneasily, "Where!?" he repeats before even giving the man a chance to respond.

Renala looks around for the ladder. "I know where they are," she says, "unless that has changed since my last visit."

(Enemy) Pilot flinches as he's shouted at. "Right below us!" he shouts back, "Just-... There's a door just down the ladder... You'll be facing it as you go down the ladder, but-..." he sighs, "There might be some on this level, I don't know! We're expanding the tunnels..." he says, jutting his chin towards the door just beyond the group, directly across from where they entered.

Mendez looks down at the ladder. "There's no way I'm makin' it down that ladder." he says, "I'll stay up here and look for the others." he says tentatively, "Just get down there and do what you need to do."

Jason looks at Mendez and sighs, but doesn't feel they have the time to argue. "Kim, go with him. If you run into any trouble... Well, we'll be back as soon as we can." he says before turning to Renala, "Give them the omni-tool. You should be able to get us through any doors down there, right?"

Kim has been staying next to the door they came in from with a very alert pose, but nods when she is addressed. "Understood. What about him?" she asks, motioning her head towards the pilot.

Renala nods and walks over to Kim, passing her the omni-tool from the pilot, "Here." She glances towards Jason, "Want me to go first on the ladder?"

Zaylus steps back from the edge, glancing around the group and giving an uncertain grunt.

Jason glances at the pilot and sighs. "He's coming with us." he says, "I'm not about to let him out of our sight... We're going to need that second shuttle if they have as many people here as he's saying" He sighs and nods his head at Renala. "I'll be sending him down right behind you." he says, nodding towards the pilot, "You know the drill. If he tries anything, or attempts to run..." he drags a thumb across his neck grimly.

(Enemy) Pilot steps closer to the ladder. "I haven't run yet, have I!?" he shouts.

Renala nods slowly. "I know," she says before walking over to the ladder, slowly starting to climb down. If she makes it far enough to see the ceiling under the floor they're currently on, she looks it over.

Jason looks towards the door indicated by the pilot. "The others are through there?" he asks.

Kim walks up to the three doors on the opposite wall. "Alright, princess. Which door are you partial to?"

(Enemy) Pilot shrugs. "I. Don't. Know. But we've been doing work down that way. It's your best bet." he says.

Jason nods to Kim and Mendez. "Better get going. If you come across any of the captives, get them back to the shuttle." he says before nudging the pilot with his weapon, urging him to follow Renala down the ladder.

Renala | "Think I see some of the slaves," she says, continuing down the ladder. She has her weapon in hand, but is unable to aim while climbing.

(Enemy) Pilot mutters something under his breath and begins to descend the ladder after Renala.

(Enemy) Turian glances back and spots Renala. Looking a bit frantic, he presses a hand against one of the slaves backs and pushes him into the doorway before hastily following the man inside.

Mendez nods to the door indicated by the pilot. "Let's get this done." he says through gritted teeth to Kim, urging her towards the door.

Kim nods back and goes towards the middle door, then stops to the side of it with her hand on the handle. "Ready?"

Jason pats Zaylus on the shoulder once the pilot is a short ways down the ladder. "You're up." He glances around, looking a bit uneasy.

Mendez raises his shotgun at the door and nods quietly.

Zaylus glances at Jason as he proceeds to the ladder. "Hmm. Nice." he mutters, looking down. The turian grabs onto the bars and starts the descent.

Kim slides the door open and peeks around the entranceway to see what's beyond.

Renala drops down to the floor as she's down, sighing. "It's clear down here," she shouts up to the others. "The turian went into a room to the right through the hallway."

(Enemy) Pilot drops down a few moments later and dusts off his hands. He gives a quick look around apprehensively before pointing at the aforementioned door. "In there." he says. "That's where we keep 'em..."

Jason holsters his weapon on his back and starts down the ladder once Zaylus is far enough down.

Zaylus drops down after him, stepping a few feet from the steps. He turns back around and waits for Jason to emerge.

Mendez keeps his shotgun trained on the door at the far end of the hall and quickly makes his way towards it. "Get it open." he says, wincing slightly.

Renala starts making her way towards the door, weapon held up in front of her in case there's someone waiting for her. She also looks around now and then to make sure there's reptile-men dropping down on her.

Jason hops down as he nears the bottom of the ladder and removes his Revenant from his back. He takes a position near the hall the turian disappeared down and raises his weapon. "Get that door open, Renala." he says, casting a glance back in her direction.

Kim moves over to the door and pulls out the pilot's omni-tool. She tries to work it out on the door from what she saw Renala doing earlier. She had been given minor training in hacking in the past, but it has been way too long since she has had to use that knowledge.

Mendez reaches out towards the green panel. He gives Kim a quick look before planting a hand on it and re-steadying his shotgun.

Kim keeps her pistol raised as she awaits the door opening. She stays to the side of Mendez for the moment to avoid any accidental(?) clipping if they need to shoot immediately.

Renala enables her omni-tool and gets to work on the door.

Kim scowls as she takes a quick step backwards and fires every round in her gun as fast as she can pseudo-accurately put them out.

Renala takes cover beside the door after getting it open, waiting on an order from Jason.

(Enemy) Pilot remains near Renala, looking around frantically as if something may pop out at any moment.

Jason glances back and nods at Renala as he keeps watch on his corner.

Zaylus steps a bit closer to the frightened pilot. "Stop that." He mutters, pushing past him.

Mendez has his shotgun ripped away before he can fire a shot. Using his good arm, he grips the disfigured man by the throat and slams him against the wall.

Renala notices the nods and hits the door's panel before returning to cover by the frame.

Renala leans into the doorway, aiming around in case there are any hostiles in there. She doesn't say anything, since the less the hostiles know about their intentions, the better.

Renala grimaces quite a bit at the smell, though.

(Enemy) ModifiedMan thrashes against Mendez as he's slammed against the wall. He struggles to reach a hand out towards the larger man's face.

Kim doesn't offer any resistance right away to the tackle. Instead, she moves towards her side so that she doesn't end up landing on the sniper rifle attached to her back. She hits her side roughly and is stunned for a moment, but begins thrashing as much as she can afterwards.

(Enemy) ModifiedWoman wrestles in an attempt to climb on top of Kim. She's lost a healthy amount of blood due to her wounds, and is tossed aside by Kim's thrashing. She gives another pained shriek as she begins to sluggishly climb back to her feet.

Mendez lifts his left arm, biting his lower lip as a sharp pain shoots through his shoulder, and presses his forearm up under the slaver's throat. In one swift movement, he slams his forehead against the man and releases his body.

Renala lowers her weapon, but remains outside the room. "We will once it's safe to get you all out of here," she says. "For now, it's probably best you hold up in here."

Kim gets to her feet and runs towards the woman to fight hand-to-hand. She immediately tries to sweep the woman's feet away.

(Enemy) ModifiedMan slumps against the wall as Mendez' headbutt connects. His body goes limp as he's nearly instantly knocked unconscious and he slides down the wall.

Zaylus glances between Jason and the scene unfolding with Renala and the captives. "Well, boss?" He asks, offering a look of sympathy to the feeble prisoners.

(Enemy) ModifiedWoman 's movements are rapidly becoming more and more sluggish. She attempts to step out of the way of Kim's sweep, but is unable to muster up the speed to do so. Her legs slide out from beneath her and she falls backwards, hitting the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of her.

Mendez reaches down and grabs his Katana from the floor. He pulls it up to his shoulder and fires a single shot into the unconscious man's chest.

Kim steps up towards the woman and presses one foot as hard as she can on the woman's neck.

Jason remains at the hallway. He glances at the pleading woman and at Renala. He seems to struggle for a moment before sighing, "Get them out of here, Zaylus." he says, "Take them to the shuttle and wait for us. Be careful."

(Enemy) ModifiedWoman screetches and begins coughing. She grabs Kim's foot and struggles to pry it from her neck, but it's clear she doesn't have any fight left in her.

Renala nods. "But Jason, the turian's still on the floor," she says, "and probably more of them with him. We should probably take care of them before bringing these people up."

Kim holds her position until she is either forced to stop or the woman stops moving.

Jason nods at Renala. "We are, Renala. I'm not leaving until this place is a crater. But these people have been here long enough." he says before passing a glance towards Zaylus.

Zaylus finally nods in agreeance, "I trust you can handle the cratering on your own." He says, stepping closer to the group inside. "Alright, everybody's coming with big buddy Zaylus. You've seen your last freaky-monster man for a long time." The turian waves the prisoners out, beckoning them toward the ladder.

(Enemy) ModifiedWoman 's eyes begin to flicker and roll back before she stops struggling entirely. Her arms fall limply to her side.

Renala frowns, but doesn't push her argument. The man looks oddly familiar to her, though, but she fails to really place him. She turns towards the other tunnel and looks the room over thoroughly.

Jason gives Zaylus a smirk. "Oh, you've got nothing to worry about there." he says, "Cratering is my specialty." he gives a quick look towards the slaves before making eye contact with Zaylus, "Just get them back to the shuttle safely."

Jonathan follows Zaylus to the ladder. He looks towards Jason. "I know I have no right to ask but-... My friend. They still have him. And three others. Please... Don't leave them here. Nobody deserves to be here..."

Mendez moves towards the slaves once he's sure Kim has her opponent under control. "We're here to help." he says, although his intimidating demeanor doesn't seem to be doing much to put the two at ease.

Zaylus nods, giving a dismissive wave. "I think we'll be fine." he says as he walks back to the ladder, stopping short at Jonathan's request. "Ah, hm." He frowns, glancing back at Jason. "Do you have any idea where they are?" He asks, focusing on Perkins this time.

Renala | "The armory and their leader's room both connect to the third floor's central chamber," she says. "If that hatch is open... be careful."

Kim sighs and removes her foot, then moves over besides Mendez while keeping an eye on the now-deceased woman. She turns towards the two and motions towards the dead people on the floor with a small smile. "It's alright. We're here to get you guys out of this sorry excuse for a facility. We won't hurt you."

Jonathan looks down and shakes his head. "No... They could be anywhere." he says, appearing disappointed in himself. He casts a glance at the hall the turian disappeared down. "They sometimes take people to the rooms down there." he points, "They took three of us down there a week ago... But they never come back."

Mendez activates his comms, "Jason... We've got two more captives over here. How are we handling this."

Jason nods at Jonathan. "We'll do whatever we can." he says as Mendez' voice comes over comms. "We've found two more." he says, staring directly at Jonathan, "We'll find those last two, don't worry. And if the others are alive, we'll get them out of here too, you have my word." Activating his comms, he responds to Mendez, "Get them out of here, Mendez. Zaylus is heading back towards the shuttle with five more. Me and Renala will be up soon."

Zaylus nods, "He means it, too." adding as he turns toward the ladder, addressing the captives. "Alright, I'm goning to quick climb up and make sure it's still clear. Then you guys file on up and I'll give you a hand at the top." The turian explains, nodding once more before jumping up the first few rungs.

Jonathan nods silently in response and watches as the turian begins climbing the ladder.

Jason glances at Renala. "You ready?" he asks as he retakes a position outside of the hallway the turian was last seen in.

Renala nods, taking a position beside him; she raises her weapon ahead of her, looking around the tunnel.

Zaylus pulls himself onto the next floor up, quickly looking around to see if anything has changed.

(Enemy) Pilot remains in place, looking around. "So... Does this mean I can... Uhh... Go?" he asks.

Zaylus turns around, beckoning the captives up the steps and offering a hand as they near the top. "It looks safe, come on up."

Jason glances back at the pilot and gives a shake of his head. "Get back to the shuttle while we clean up your mess." he mutters.

Jonathan goes to reach for the ladder, but is cut off by the pilot who quickly begins climbing to the top.

Jonathan waits for him to get part way up with a frown on his face before following.

Jason looks over at Renala and takes a deep breath. "Did you see where the turian went?" he asks.

Zaylus regards the pilot with displeasure, retracting his hand until he's all the way up the ladder. "Tell me again why we didn't kill you already?"

(Enemy) Pilot smirks at Zaylus confidently now that he seems to be on his way to being home-free. "You need me." he taunts, "Unless you know how to fly, bird-brain." He begins walking towards the exit.

Renala nods, gesturing at one the holding cell the turian went for wordlessly. She then starts making her way towards it.

Jonathan reaches the top next. He pulls himself up and follows behind the pilot, looking quite uncomfortable.

Jason nods and follows closely beside Renala, casting a glance between the doors.

Zaylus grunts, almost seeming as if he's going to get up and have a 'chat' with this nice fellow, but seeing the captives emerging and stays with them, offering a hand. Once they're all standing together, he looks around for the hulking form of Mendez, but instead gives off a small shrug. The turian raises a hand to gesture in the direction of the exit. "We'll get out there now, they'll get anyone else that's still here." He says, leading them outside.

Jonathan nods to Zaylus and begins following him with the other slaves in tow.

(Enemy) Pilot has slowed his pace to wait for Zaylus. He continues alongside the turian silently.

Kim extends a hand towards the other slave, helping him to his feet. "Let's get you out of here." she says.

Renala makes her way towards the door and gets to work on it, her omni-tool coming to life and her fingers tapping rapidly at it as she finds the right program for the job.

Mendez nods in agreement with Kim and turns on his heels. He keeps his weapon trained in front of him as he return towards the central chamber.

Jason steps into each of the open doorways as Renala gets to work. He takes a few steps inside each to give a quick look around. Satisfied that they're all empty, he returns to Renala's side.

Zaylus grins widely as he catches up to the pilot, and snatches him roughly by the back of his neck as he nears. "Hey there friend. Quick little note I didn't get to add before. The only reason you were alive before is because you had use to us, and guess who just outlived his usefulness? Thaaat's right." He mutters menacingly, giving his fingers a nice squeeze, truthfully unsure if that's totally the case. "But we're good people, and it's also not my call, so it seems like you get to walk out of here tonight. Not that you'll do anything with the gift." The turian spits venomously, throwing the pilot forward.

Renala nods, and taps on the door. She raises her weapon and takes cover if there are any, aims at the door if not.

(Enemy) Pilot tenses up as Zaylus grabs hold of him and releases a pained groan. "Okay, okay! Fuck! I get it!" he shouts once the lecture has ended. Once released, he stumbles forward a few steps and begins rubbing at his neck. His posture slouches and he folds his arms across his chest, not feeling so confident all of a sudden.

Zaylus snorts, muttering something under his breath. Glancing back at the trail of captives behind him, he gives them a constrasting grin as the group makes their way back outside.

Kim follows behind Mendez, leading the two slaves back towards the central chamber.

Jason glances at Renala and takes a step through the door. He raises a gauntleted finger to his mouth, pantomiming for her to be quiet as he slowly begins down the stairs with his Revenant raised.

Renala takes a few quiet steps as she follows him -- though with armored boots on rock floor, it makes a bit of sound -- and aims her weapon towards the turian once she notices him.

(Enemy) Turian stares at them for a moment before tossing his Predator pistol aside and raising his arms. "I'm unarmed!" he shouts.

Maria immediately scrambles to see if she can reach the Predator through the bars, not even eyeing the people that distracted her captors.

(Enemy) Human leans forward, resting the palms of his hands against the blood-caked table as he gives a toothy grin. "Now, I don't remember inviting company." he says, looking between Jason and Renala, "But such pretty guests... Can't say no to that."

Renala aims at the human leaning agains the tabletop. "Can't say no to what?" she asks. "A bullet? Move, and you get it."

Jason reaches the bottom of the steps and steps aside, keeping his weapon trained on the turian. "Open the cell." he instructs, nodding towards the barred door, "Now!"

Maria is pressing against the bars while her eyes dart between the gun and the slavers. When she feels the hand on her shoulder she gives it a moment of thought before pulling back. She remains crouched.

(Enemy) Turian glances at the human beside him and begins to move towards the cell.

Mendez continues through the central chamber, checking for threats as he does, and exits out the other side. The two doors on the side of the chamber have been locked since they were last here.

Maria glares at the human slaver. She glances at the gun as if wondering if maybe she could reach a bit further if she tried harder.

Renala nods. "Or," she says, glaring at him. "I shoot you and take it anyway."

Kim keeps sheperding the slaves along through the chamber with her weapon pointed at the ground and keeps a close eye on the hatch above them.

(Enemy) Human 's smile grows large. "Now we're getting somewhere." he says. Without much warning, the heavy, metal table in front of him is hurled through the air at Jason and Renala. An obnoxious laugh escapes the man.

(Enemy) Turian seems to hesitate for a moment before making a go at his discarded pistol.

Renala starts preparing her biotics, but it's too late and she instead holds up her hands, dropping her Locust on the ground in the process. She doesn't let go of the saved-up biotic energy, though.

Maria presses against the bars again as the turian moves. She does her best to grab him by whatever limb is closer and keep him away from the gun.

Jason follows suit, releasing his grip on his weapon and pulling his arms up to protect his head.

(Enemy) Turian reaches for the pistol when his wrist is grabbed by Maria. He tumbles off balance a bit and crashes into the bars.

Renala sends of a biotic throw last second; it's not her full potential, but it might turn the table's trajectory around.

Maria does her best to hold on to the turian with all the strength she can muster in her weak state and tries to get her arm around his throat to choke him, a vicious expression on her face.

(Enemy) Turian is pulled up against the bars and kicks the pistol right up against the cell in the process. As Maria gets a grip around his neck, he aims a punch through the bars with his free hand.

Jason tries to take a step away from the projectile instinctively before realizing Renala has handled it, and stumbles into the wall.

Maria loses her grip when she is punched. After a brief moment of disorientation she goes for the gun, trying to get it through the bars and then get on her feet.

(Enemy) Human 's smile never fades as he casually steps around the sliding table. He begins humming softly to himself as he leans down and picks up the large blade that fell from the table and proceeds towards Renala and Jason.

(Enemy) Turian tumbles towards the pistol as it's pulled out of his grasp. He reaches into the cell in an attempt at grabbing Maria, pressing his arm as far in as he can.

Renala quickly picks up her gun again as she's done dealing with flipped table, and aims it at the human, while preparing her biotics. She fires off a 6-shot burst at him.

Maria is grabbed as she tries to move away from the bars. She immediately fires a trio of shots at the turian on the floor without giving it much thought.

(Enemy) Human 's barrier easily absorbs the shots as he dashes towards Renala and takes a swipe at her with the blade.

Jason reaches for his Phalanx and raises it at the human. He squeezes the trigger as the man begins to dash towards Renala.

(Enemy) Turian takes all three shots to the chest at close range, causing his poor shields to flicker out entirely. He tugs at Maria, pulling her harshly towards the bars.

(Enemy) Human doesn't seem remotely phased by Jason's shots, although his barriers undoubtedly must be failing.

Renala lets go of a biotic throw just after the blade manages to hit her left elbow as she holds up her hands in anticipation; just at where the plating gives way to the more elastic padding, and it does cut her below the armor. That makes her lose her submachine gun -- again.

Maria falls over after being tugged, and ends up sitting on the floor. She takes a moment to aim and squeezes of a shot at the head of the turian. "DIE YOU FUCKER!"

(Enemy) Turian dies cuz he's a fucker... Also because Maria's shot neatly penetrates his left eye. He slumps forward and slides to the ground, resting against the bars with his arms outstretched towards Maria.

Maria seems satisfied. She shakes free from the grip of the dead turian and scrambles back onto her feet and aiming her gun in a general outward direction as she tries to get a bearing on the situation.

(Enemy) Human is tossed backwards by Renala's throw, losing a grip on his blade in the process. He connects awkwardly with the metal table and rolls over it to the other side. Unfortunately it doesn't take long for him to rise to his feet. "Whoo!" he cheers with a swift shake of his head as he starts towards Renala for a second round.

Jason squeezes the trigger of his Phalanx, emptying the rest of his clip at the human. "Die already you fucking psychopath!"

Renala reaches for her weapon with the right hand, gritting her teeth. Blood is starting to seep from her wound. She would only get to her feet before the man closes the gap between them.

(Enemy) Human takes the Phalanx rounds to the chest, causing him to blink heavily as each one connects. He looks down at the holes peppering his body and takes a couple more steps before collapsing to the floor, smile still eerily stretched across his face.

Renala growls as she aims her weapon at the human's head, and fires the remaining 7 shots in her clip.

Renala 's aim is a little slow as the asari is left handed.

(Enemy) Human 's head is needlessly decimated by Renala's SMG rounds.

Maria lowers her weapon at the death of the slavers and remains silent. She glances at her fellow slaves.

Jason quickly begins to load a new thermal clip into his Phalanx as he, for a split second, questions whether the man will keep coming. He slows down once the psychotic biotic goes down. He winces upon Renala's sudden outburst of violence. "I-... Think he's dead." he says, panting slightly as he collects his Revenant off the ground.

Renala frowns. "Had... to make sure," she says, sounding a little pained. She places her weapon at the table before locating her medi-gel.
