#Snowscape – April 21, 2016
The omni-gel is easily removed, opening the door up to the higher floors again, although it remains mostly closed.
Jason keeps his rifle trained on the doorway and steps inside, aiming upwards through the hatch. Upon seeing that there's no murderous robots leaping down to maim them, he looks back at the others. "Clear." He holsters his rifle and interlocks his fingers, waiting to begin boosting people up.
Artullin walks in after Jason and uses the boost to hop up on top of the elevator. He immediately scans the top level to make sure nothing iwll start shooting down on them.
Jessica steps forward next, holstering her pistol and slapping a palm over Jason's face to hold on as she climbs up him and onto the top of the elevator.
Jason closes his eye and lets out a low pained grunt as a finger pokes him in the eye. "Hey, watch it!" he mutters.
Ilyna enters next, and climbs up without the use of Jason's face. She steps away from the hatch, waiting for the others before climbing up herself.
Athassa gets to her feet on her own, letting out a quiet grown. Plask is quick to come to her side and help her walk over to the elevator.
Rala continues to look around the facility, taking a last look before joining the others in the elevator.
Jason waits before boosting anyone else up. "Clear to send the others up?" he calls up to his three teammates.
Ilyna moves over to stand at the edge of the hatch, a biotic shimmer surrounding her. She's not in the way of anyone climbing the ladder.
Plask helps Jason lift Athassa up, and the asari grabs the edge of the hatch, climbing up with a groan.
Plask gives Jason an apologetic look before starting to climb, claws inevitably digging into his armor as the vorcha scrambles up with a grunt.
Rala goes up next, having no trouble with the climb. Once up she steps aside. It's getting rather crowded on top of the elevator now.
Ilyna looks up. "Holds onto me," she says, wrapping her arms around the asari before the start to slowly levitate upward. It's taxing for her, and she barely manages to thanks to the low gravity.
Yan Sun approaches Jason, shooting a doubtful glance up before starting to climb on top of Jason, slipping off his shoulder halfway up and just barely keeping from hitting the floor by hooking an arm around his neck. "Sorry! Sorry!" she shouts as she scrambles to start climbing again.
Artullin clambers up and quickly rights himself at the top of the shaft, gun drawn and sweeping the area.
Jason cranes his neck forward uncomfortably, awkwardly pushing her upwards. "It's fi-...fine.... Just.... get up there..." he grumbles.
The room at the top of the shaft is clear, but all three of the other doors have regained power, and are green. The airlock door has closed.
Ilyna reorient herself to see the exit door when they get there. "Almost there now," she says, starting to move into the room. Their feet are about four inches off the floor when they enter the room.
Jessica climbs out shortly after Artullin and lifts her pistol. She quickly lowers it upon realizing there's nothing to be seen. "Looks safe." she announces back down the shaft as she steps away, clearing the area for anyone else.
Yan Sun manages to get up at last, clambering out of the hatch with a series of grunts, and then crawling aside before getting on her feet again.
Rala emerges at the top of the ladder, moving into the room with the others and looking around. "So... what's the plan?"
Jason gives Yan Sun a moment to get clear of the hatch before leaping up and gripping the edges of the hatch with his robo-arms and easily pulling himself up.
Jason gives a nod from the bottom of the ladder as he hears Artullin. "Yeah. Sounds like they're nearby... I'm gonna guess that noise was them." he says, waiting for the others to climb up the ladder, "Might be worth heading outside and checking if you can see them. Maybe fire a few rounds into the air to get their attention."
Artullin nods. "Understood, Wolfe. I'll head out," he says, waiting for any potential objections or ideas.
Yan Sun stays to the back of the group, looking like she's expecting vorcha or geth to pop up at any moment.
Athassa gives Ilyna a nod as they land, leaning a little against her for support. "Thanks again." she says with a small chuckle that ends in a wince.
Plask has, of course, emerged at the top of the ladder as well, and is looking around uneasily at the mention of blowing a hole in the wall.
Jason climbs the ladder as well. As he reaches the top, he hops on comms. "No holes needed!" he announces as he hears the chatter, "Artullin is heading outside to fire a few rounds into the air. Just-... listen for it!"
Artullin steps into the airlock and makes to open the door outside. Once it is open, he'll step out and fire a single shot into the air. He'll then wait about ten seconds, then fire another. He'll repeat the process about ten times.
Jason lets out a frustrated groan as he hears the comms talk. "Those fucking vorcha are back. Sit tight." he instructs the Grizzly team, "We're gonna try and find out way to you."
Jessica gives Jason a quick nod as she steps towards the door, taking his comms message as instructions.
Ilyna frowns and starts moving to the left corner in fron of her, to get out of view of the entrance doorway.
Jason reaches out and clasps a hand on Jessica's shoulder. "Not you. You stay here with the researchers. Just in case those vorcha get brave and decide to come inside." He unholsters his Revenant and starts towards the airlock. "On our way, Ten."
Jessica lets out a long, frustrated sigh. She fires off a sloppy, sarcastic salute with her free hand. "Of course." she mutters.
Yan Sun shoots the corridor an uneasy glance, and seems about to say something when Jessica starts moving. She seems relieved by Jason's instructions, letting out a quiet sigh and preparing her omni-tool just in case she needs to defend herself.
Athassa moves along with Ilyna, saying nothing as she doesn't want to clutter comms during the critical situation.
Jason exits the airlock, instantly bringing his Revenant up as he scans back and forth. "Anything, Artullin!?" he calls out over the storm.
Jason keeps his Revenant raised as he begins to round the structure, following the wall along. "Sounds like they ran into our old friends! We need to find them!"
Uvena groans in pain as a claw manages to cut deeply enough to wound her, the armor's medi-gel systems quickly getting to work plugging the holes. She pulls her Locust towards her with a biotic field, having finally spotted it in the slow ahead. Once she has it, she blindly aims it over her shoulder and squeezes the trigger.
Jessica stands around awkwardly for a few moments, unsure of what she should be doing. She glances around at the others, feeling as though she should say something. "It's-... uhh.... gonna be alright. They just need to kill those fuckers real quick, then we can go home." She nods and smiles at Yan Sun, pleased with her own inspiring words.
As Jason and Artullin follow along the ice-cliff wall their path becomes less and less clear as droves of snow pile on, and soon there's no sign of any structure at all, just snowscape. The wind continues to howl around them, but luckily the clatter of Nathan's Argus can be faintly heard to their left. The vorcha on Uvena is caught completely by surprised as its head is cut in half by Uvena's blind-firing, and its body goes limp on top
of her. The big vorcha is grazed by a burst of shots from Nathan's rifle, but to little effect. It bashes his rifle aside with a swipe of its left hand and then stabs down with its right at his throat while simultaneously planting a heavy foot on his stomach as their struggle behind the Grizzly continues. They should be within view of the IFV's rear camera.
Athassa is trying to stand on her own as much as she can to avoid exhausting Ilyna any more than needed.
Jason points in the general direction of the firing. "That way!" He steps away from the ice-cliff, taking note of where the firing is in relation to the structure they exited, and begins to stomp off through the snow, looking out for any sign of ambushing snow-vorcha.
Yan Sun returns Jessica's smile, although it does nothing to hide the fear in her eyes. Her fingers are still hovering over her omni-tool interface.
Nathan watches as his rifle is clattered aside. As he sees the vorcha's intention, he shifts his upper body to the side, very narrowly avoiding a speared throat. His knife springs out of his gauntlet as he reaches up to grip the Vorcha's arm. He would try and drag it down to him and thrust the dagger into it's face, a loud snarl coming from him. "C'mere, gorgeous!"
Jasper watched the fight through the camera, silently cheering Nathan on. After a few moments, he chimes in on comms. "Jus' get out the Grizzly's way! I'll turn that ugly sucker inta roadkill!"
Uvena rolls over to push the vorcha off her before getting to her feet. "I got him," she says over comms. "I'm on my way back to the grizzly." She reloads her weapon.
The big vorcha snarls as it is pulled in closer, and lets out a raging roar as the knife buries itself in its jaw, blood spraying over Nathan's visor. The brutal warrior is undeterred, grabbing hold of the arm used to stab it and twisting hard enough to break it, all the while making another stab with its right hand at the armpit of his other arm. Uvena would find a spear coming her way while she's reloading her weapon, and another two
Ilyna gives a faint smile, looking at Jessica. "Be ready to fend them off if they get in here," she says. "I won't be able to fight back while I hold the barrier up."
Jason continues towards the battle, undeterred by the puny spear crashing against his armor plating. He makes no attempt to return fire yet, lest he accidentally clip an ally. "We're closing in on your location! How many are there!?"
Nathan cries out in pain as his arm snaps... then gasps as he is stabbed. Blinded, wounded and overall fucked, he tries to bring his knee up to smash into the back of the vorcha in a futile attempt at fighting back. His hand, however, reaches down to a grenade at his hip.
Uvena is hit by the spear, but it doesn't do any damage as it hits plating. She decides against fighting a target she cannot see, and starts running back to the Grizzly.
Jasper frantically looks about for anything he might be able to do. "I'unno, Jay! More than a couple, less than all of 'em!"
A spear lands infront of Uvena as she runs, and the howls of vorcha can be heard to her side. The large vorcha lets out a vicious laugh as Nathan's arm snaps, but it is thrown off by the sudden kick, letting out an aggressive hiss and slashing at the human's helmet repeatedly. Jason finds himself jumped by a vorcha from the side in an attempt to knock him to the ground. They'd be able to see the Grizzly's lights through the haze and
Jason continues onward through the snow. "We've got you in our si-..." he begins when he's blindsided by the vorcha, sending him sprawling to the ground. He rolls onto his back, kicking up a flurry of snow as he brings his Revenant up and begins to unload a volley into his attacker.
Nathan 's helmet takes the slashing quite well, being designed to handle explosions at close range. He brings his mostly functioning arm up and slaps the grenade onto the vorcha's back, his HUD crackling and fizzling. "Fuck you!" He activates the stun device.
Uvena stumbles over the spear, but she doesn't lose balance completely. Once she spots a Vorcha attacking Nathan, she quickly prepares her biotics, making a stasis field targetting the vorcha.
Artullin looks to Jason, but decides the man can handle himself. He charges towards towards the Grizzly, sweeping back and forth in search of other targets, not spotting the vorcha attacking Nathan for the moment.
The big vorcha cries out in pain as it is zapped, but it does not start convulsing, surprisingly enough. It proves irrelevant as it is hit by a stasis field a moment later, freezing in place over Nathan and pinning him down. A pair of vorcha run at Uvena not long after she launches the biotic attack, one of them charging right at her with a spear. The one that tackled Jason is quickly gunned down, but two more come at Artullin, one of
Uvena hurls a shockwave at the approaching Vorcha when they get close enough, and she opens fire at the one holding the spear.
Jason scrambles back to his feet and rushes to catch up to Artullin, a flurry of snow kicking off of his now-white armor due to his trip to the ground. He nears the turian as he's ambushed by the two vorcha, and he instantly grasps at the one behind Artullin and makes to just brute force him away and toss him to the ground. If successful, he'd bring his Revenant up and pump an ungodly
Artullin grunts as the vorcha jumps onto him. He catches the one from the side and raises his rifle single handedly, keeping it aimed at the ground then firing full auto so that the climb would travel upwards and hopefully across the entire vorcha's body.
Nathan takes this opportunity to draw his pistol as the medi-gel fixes his wound. He raises the pistol to the vorcha and aims at its head. As soon as the stasis is worn off, he would fire until the clip runs dry.
The big vorcha gets a round through its skull just as the statis wears off, and then drops dead on top of Nathan, making it rather hard to shoot further shots. The two vorcha charging at Uvena are hurled away by the shockwave, and a great deal of snow is kicked up, reducing visibility even further, and soon another spear comes at the asari from the dark. Artullin's attackers are both gunned down, one by him and one by Jason, but more
are approaching quickly from their right side, one of them stopping to throw a spear while two more charge. There are sounds of more vorcha moving around in the blur of snow.
Nathan gasps as the vorcha collapses on him, his arm bending at an awkward angle. "Ooooooowwwwww," he groans over comms. "Jassssperrrr.... heeeeellllppppp." He whines. "This fucker is heavy and... one of my arms is broken... the other is kinda numb...".
Jason leans his head instinctively to the side as the spear flies wide and he gives a quick glance to Artullin before raising his Revenant once more and unloading into the charging vorcha. "These assholes must reeeeally want us to kill them!"
Uvena doesn't react to the spear fast enough, and it embeds itself in the padding on her left arm for a second before falling out on its own. She ignores the pain for the moment and hurries over to Nathan's side, and she starts to drag the big corpse off of him, groaning in pain as that puts pressure on the wound left by the spear.
Artullin turns towards the encroaching horde, slapping a fresh clip in and aiming at them. He fires short, disciplined bursts at one. If he drops it, he switches to another. If he drops that one, another. He uses the last of his fabrication and power usage to muster one last attack drone and one turret. The turret would follow the earlier tactics of shoot and burn, whilst the drone would make strafing runs against the horde, belching
Jasper cusses under his breath a few times. "I'm-a-comin', Ten! You jus' hold on back there!" he says as he scurries up to the hatch, pushing it open. He climbs out into the storm with a grunt and makes sure to secure the hatch before scurrying across the top of the Grizzly towards the back end.
Artullin and Jason gun down the initial wave of vorcha, but more follow after them, howling and snarling as they come running and jumping on all fours while spears fly overhead. The turret and drone slows their advance, but it is unlikely to keep them occupied for long. A metal net is tossed at Uvena while she's removing the dead vorcha, and Jasper finds himself attacked from two sides as vorcha start to climb onto the Grizzly, one of
Jasper's eyes go wide. With no weaponry to speak of, he hopes the slippery surface of the Grizzly will do most of the work as he kicks at the creature, hoping to push it off.
Jason nudges Artullin. "They're just gonna keep coming. Just keep moving." he says, firing a quick spray into the vorcha to empty the rest of his clip before starting his jog towards their destination, slapping a fresh thermal clip into his gun en route.
Artullin nods and follows Jason, leaving the drone and turret to thin out their numbers. "Help Uvena and Nathan, I'll go and help Jasper," he says, a mix of a suggestion and perhaps a statement.
Uvena turns around as the net hits her, making her stumble over as she gets tangled in it. She lands face first into the ramp, hitting her head quite hard. She does not get up, at least not right away.
Jason gives Artullin a nod... Not because he's taking orders! But because it's a good suggestion, okay!? "Solid plan." he says, securing the thermal clip in place as he reshoulders his weapon and stalks towards the tail of the Grizzly, ready to shoot whatever might jump out at him.
Nathan manages to push the Vorcha off with Uvena's help. He struggles to his feet and, seeing Uvena go down, he moves over to her, dropping to one knee and using his body to shield her. He aims the pistol about, firing in the rough direction it came from.
After the net hits a group of vorcha emerge from the blizzard, one of them going down to a lucky shot from Nathan's pistol, which causes the others to hesitate slightly, withdrawing. It's not long before two of them emege again, leaping through the air at the two people by the ramp. The vorcha on top of the Grizzly flies right over Jasper as it is hit by the kick, landing ontop of its companion that slipped off earlier. The two of them
scramble to get back on their feet and climb up the vehicle again. In the distance Artullin's drone is destroyed by by repeated clawings, and the turret falls not long after, although several vorcha are set alight with fire as they clump together, forcing them to drop and roll in the snow, letting the storm extinguish them. The rest follow after Jason and Artullin at a quick pace.
Jason hurries to Uvena and Nathan's side, dropping into a shooter's stance to lay down suppression fire on the approaching vorcha... Although given the wide-open nature of their battlefield, 'suppression fire' in this instance of course means 'pumping a bunch of rounds into their faces'. "Get her untangled and in the vehicle! We need to get out of here!"
Artullin clambers up the side of the tank, ending up on the roof. He leans over the edge and fires into the two vorcha. "Get in the tank and get ready to move out! I'll man the turret," he instructs.
Jasper continues along the spine of the Grizzly towards the rear. When he spots Jason already dealing with the problem, he gives a shout of "Balls!" before turning back and beginning his scuttle back towards the hatch.
One of the vorcha on top of the tank jumps at Artullin as he starts firing, tackling him off the vehicle. The other one chases after Jasper, scratching at his back with bone claws. WHile Nathan untangles the unmoving Uvena several vorcha are gunned down by Jason's fire, and the rest are slowed, but they keep coming, clambering over the dead to jump at him, the first three arriving at the same time, all clawing at the lone human from
Nathan finishes untangling Uvena and grabs her armor. He bites down on his tongue as a surge of pain flares in his arm as he starts to drag her inside the Grizzly.
Artullin is tackled off of the vehicle. As he crashes into the snow, he uses his free hand to draw his dagger and to thrust it into the side of the vorcha's head, his other using the rifle to try and keep the vorcha at a distance.
Jasper has a little more pep in his step as he notices the vorcha on his tail. "One's got me! He's got me!" he's already shouting before the vorcha even has a hold on him. He falls forward atop the Grizzly as the vorcha makes contact with his back, and begins crawling forward.
Jason reaches out and pats Nathan. "A little quicker!" he instructs, "They're not stopping!" he shouts as he continues to squeeze the trigger. As the vorcha reach him, he gives up on firing at them and makes to trade blows, swinging a heavy right overhand punch as he holds his Revenant in his left hand. He lashes forward, planting a headbutt squarely into the jaw of the second vorcha as
the third's claw finds purchase in his undersuit, piercing his side. He lashes out in pain at it, swinging his Revenant like a club.
Artullin's vorcha is stabbed in the head. It turns out being stabbed in the head is quite lethal. Bummer. The one chasing Jasper slips, but continues after, trying to stop the human's escape with a kick in the side. As Nathan drags Uvena into the Grizzly the approaching vorcha engage in melee with Jason, one getting taken out immediately by a metal punch and another being dazed by the headbutt. The third wrestles for control of the
Revenant after the successful stab, while the second backs off and tries to go around to attack the vulnerable Nathan.
Jessica shakes her head, frowning at Yan Sun through her visor. "He said to stay here, we stay here. I'm not getting in even more trouble, kitty cat."
Nathan | The vorcha would find that, despite being injured, Nathan would not be considered completely vulnerable. Seeing the vorcha approach, he draws his pistol and, instead of firing it, uses it as an oversized knuckle duster. He adopts a ragtag boxer's pose (minus one arm) and darts forwards, jabbing at the vorcha with the barrel. If it finds contact with the
vorcha, the pistol would be pulled, adding a painful surprise in with the jab. He would dance backwards, sheer pain and adrenaline combining to make one pissed off and still dangerous Nathan.
Artullin scrambles up once again. He sheathes the dagger and makes up to the top of the tank again. He twists, drops to one knee, and fires at the vorcha attacking Jasper.
Jason doesn't bother wrestling with the vorcha for control, he merely tightens his metallic grip on the rifle with his left hand and unholsters his Phalanx with his right. He brings it up and rests it right against the vorcha's had before pulling the trigger.
The vorcha in the Grizzly blocks the pistol bash with its arm and drops down onto all four, growling and then pouncing at him, claws outstretched. The vorcha trying to grab the Revenant takes a bullet to the head and slumps to the ground, but more are fast approaching the ramp, and a spear flies Jason's way. On the roof of the vehicle, the vorcha above Jasper is gunned down by precision fire from Artullin, and it lands on top of the
Nathan drops to one knee and uses his mostly functioning arm and the vorcha's momentum to fling him over and against the wall of the Grizzly. He would, if successful, follow up by simply trying to cave the vorcha's face in with the grip of his pistol, a blood curling cry of rage erupting from his throat.
Artullin immediately turns away from Jasper and scurries over to the edge of the Grizzly. He crouches down and starts firing into the encroaching mass.
Jasper glances back just in time to catch the vorcha being gunned down. He looks around for his savior until he spots Artullin and gives him a bunch of exaggerated nods. "Yeah! Th-..." he nods again through gasping breaths, "...Thanks!" He crawls a few more feet before sloppily climbing back up and jogging to the hatch.
Jason shrugs off another spear as it clanks against his chestplate. Medi-gel begins to dispense towards his wound, broken fragments of bone being pushed free. "Everyone! In the Grizzly! Now!" he shouts as he begins to back up the ramp, cracking off shots with his Phalanx as he picks his targets, going for headshots on any that come close as body shots don't seem to be doing much to slow
Ilyna shakes her head. "I don't think the vehicle is close enough for us to make an extraction," she says.
Jason and Artullin's combined fire slows the advance of the vorcha pack, but their numbers are great, and they seem to have no objections to throwing themselves at the Grizzly. More spears come flying from the snow. The vorcha inside the vehicle is launched over Nathan and into the wall, but it's claw scratches at his plated arm on its way over. It recovers just in time to catch a pistol to the face, but takes the attack in stride
despite being bloodied. It snarls and bites down on the arm holding the pistol, although the teeth mostly hit ceramic plating.
Nathan roars and charges forwards, using the clamped vorcha on his arm to his advantage. He would drive it against the wall and simply drag his arm back and forth, aiming to repeatedly smash it's head against the wall. "JUST. FUCKING. DIE."
Artullin turns and retreats to the hatch on the roof behind Jasper. If Jasper opens it, he would go in behind him.
Jasper most certainly goes inside, holding it open as he notices Artullin trailing behind. He holds it open until the turian grabs ahold of it. "Awright folks! Hold onto yer butts!!!!!!" he shouts as he leaps off the ladder and into the seat, "I'unno where we're goin', but we're goin'!"
Jason reaches up, bracing his free hand against the roof of the Grizzly to keep himself upright as it begins to lurch forward. He continues to fire his Phalanx into the storm at any vorcha who get near.
The vorcha in the Grizzly claws, scratches and kicks at Nathan as its head is smashed against the wall, refusing to let go of his arm. It's getting bruised and bloodied, but does not let up in its relentless attacks. Uvena's SMG is still outside the vehicle when it begins to move. The vorcha are slowed by Jason's fire as several of them are hit, but none go down. Many of them hesitate at the vehicle starts to move but soon attacks with
renewed determination, spears clanking against the IFV's armor and several jumping on top of it, while one manages to get through the rear hatch and swipe a claw at Jason.
Jasper nods, swiping and poking at the interface as he steers the Grizzly in the indicated direction. "Folks, we're gon' be comin' in hot! Ya might wanna prep for a quick escape!" he announces over comms, "Whole lotta vorcha out here!"
Jason stumbles backwards, the combination of the swiping vorcha and the moving vehicle pushing him off balance. He widens his stance and removes his hand from the ceiling, using both to grip his Phalanx as he unloads the rest of his thermal clip into the vorcha.
Nathan can do little more but continue to smash it against the wall as it claws rake at his armour. He throws in a few knees into the mix, at this point simply trying to bash the vorcha to death.
The rearmost vorcha takes several shots to the chest before falling out of the vehicle, remarkably still alive, likely scurrying off to regenerate. The one Nathan is fighting is still not dead, a vicious creature indeed. It grabs at his throat, choking him hard all the while it is smashed brutally against the wall, over and over, blood staining it. There's clanking as other vorcha run around on top of the vehicle, one of them ripping
Ilyna nods. "You go ahead and keep an eye out for their vehicle," she says to Jessica. "Research team, stay behind me in the hallway." She starts walking towards the hallway, still supporting Athassa.
Jasper lowers himself as much as possible, slumping into the driver's seat. He bats a hand upwards in the general direction of the vorcha. "Shoot 'im! Shoot 'im!" he shouts.
Nathan braces himself, his air flow starting to slacken. He doesn't know much about Vorcha biology, so he simply kicks at the vorcha's groin. "Halp!" He chokes over comms.
Uvena sighs as she doesn't spot her SMG and stands up. She turns towards Nathan and starts to build up energy for a biotic field.
Jason glances upward at the clanking as he takes the moment of respite to reload his Phalanx before moving to join Nathan in jolly cooperation in pummeling the vorcha. "Holy fuck, look at the mess you made!" he shouts as he spots all of the blood from Nathan's encounter with the vorcha. He takes one heavy step towards the vorcha and aims a punch at the side of the vorcha's head.
Jessica gives Ilyna a nod and casts a glance over to Yan Sun before hurrying to the airlock and stepping outside, raising her pistol this way and that as she searches for sight of the rescue team.
There is a loud crunch as Jason strikes the vorcha with a cybernetic fist, and yet it continues to claw at Nathan, but after the next bash against the wall, it slumps up against it, its bite releasing from his arm as it collapses, leaving a trail of blood along the vehicle's inner wall. There is a thundering roar as the Grizzly comes crashing in from above and to the left of Jessica's position, driving down an ice cliff and kicking up
a great deal of snow. She would be able to see several vorcha on top of it, although one of them, near the hatch, is driven away by shots from Artullin. Several more can be seen lingering at the edge of visiblity, reluctant to approach the base door, but a spear flies Jessica's way.
Nathan pants heavily, his legs giving way as he is damn sure he's probably caused more damage to his injured arm. He crashes against the floor as the Grizzly soars, crying out in pain as he lands on his broken arm. Blackness creeps in at the edges of his vision as he is on the verge of blacking out.
Artullin braces himself, almost pitching over as the Grizzly soars. He quickly refocuses back on the hatch, keeping his pistol aimed and ready for any vorcha that dare to show their faces.
Jessica's jaw goes slack at the scene playing out before her. "They're here! They're here!" she shouts over comms, "Everyone out-..." her words are cut off as her eyes go wide, the spear heading straight for her. She moves to sidestep out of the way, but it gets a solid hit on her, stabbing into her side, through the undersuit.
Jason is tossed to the ground as the Grizzly flies majestically through the air. He moves to stand up, but tumbles right back over as it lands. "Mother fucker!" he cusses before finally getting back to his feet. He moves over to the dead vorcha and grabs him under the arms, scooting towards the rear hatch to hurl his corpse outside.
Uvena falls on the floor, as well, and she waits for the vehicle to stabilize slightly before getting back up to her feet. She hurries over to Nathan's side. "Goddess, how bad is it?" she asks.
Ilyna starts slowly moving forward until she's near the door, and she puts up a barrier wall in front of her as she spots the spear coming for Jessica.
Yan Sun runs past Ilyna, heading for the outside but slamming right into the barrier. She shouts out with a panicked tone "Jessica?! 狗屎 狗屎!" She looks over her shoulder at the asari. "What are you doing?! Help!"
Rala and Plask follow Ilyna towards the outside, but stop as the barrier is put up, remaining behind her.
A spear pokes through the hatch to the driver's compartment, trying to stab down at Artullin, but the vorcha holding is tossed off as the Grizzly stops, the spear dropping down into the compartment. The others on the roof are busy attacking the turret. Vorcha are gathering around but they're unwilling to approach for the attack, just growling and swiping at the air as they cricle around almost out of view.
Nathan groans feebly on the floor. "You think this is bad... you should see the other guy," he moans. He groggily sits up at looks at his broken arm, watching it swing limply. "It's like swingball," he murmurs. He looks up at Uvena, holstering his pistol. "Go on, help the others... I'll be fine. I'm just gonna mourn the loss of my knife and rifle...".
Jessica grips the spear stabbing out of her side with one hand, hoping to keep it from falling downard, tearing and creating an even worse wound if it should fall out, and raises her pistol through the pain with the other hand, firing into the crowd of vorcha at the edge of her vision. "Is that all you've got!?" she shouts, "A fucking spear!?" She rips the bone spear free and hurls it right back at the vorcha, giving a
loud roar of her own. A large amount of blood spills free from the wound as the spear is removed, but it's quickly clogged by her suit's medigel.
Artullin watches the spear clatter against his armour, before taking the opportunity to leap up and grip the hatch. He pulls himself up and braces, firing at the vorcha attacking the turret with controlled shots, aiming for the head.
Yan Sun rushes out as soon as the barrier drops, hurrying to Jessica's side and moving to support her. "Come on, let's get inside!" she shouts as a spear goes flying past.
Jessica shrugs Yan Sun away. "Get inside!" she orders, giving her a push towards the Grizzly. She continues firing as she moves in the direction of their escape vehicle, not stopping until she hears the click of the gun.
One of the vorcha on the roof goes down to a clean headshot, while the other takes a few body shots and scampers off into the snow. A spear narrowly misses Artullin's head, clanging against the turret.
Artullin ducks his head to the side. He grunts and makes to pull the hatch closed as he drops back into the compartment.
Yan Sun stumbles as she's pushed away to towards the Grizzly, and remains just inside, waiting anxiously for Jessica to catch up. "Come on!" she says as her gaze darts across the snowy surrroundings.
Jason remains at the rear of the Grizzly providing covering fire for the approaching team. "Get inside!" he orders to nobody in particular, as if they weren't already attempting to do so.
Uvena nods, and moves over to the ramp. She prepares to biotically throw the first spear-vorcha visible to her.
Jessica continues on towards the Grizzly, leaving a trail of blood in her wake. She continues to squeeze the trigger a few times despite the mechanical click before realizing she's empty. She pulls her free hand away from her wound with a pained groan and begins fumbling around for a fresh thermal clip while closing in on the ramp.
Ilyna keeps walking towards the ramp, looking around constantly at the vorcha gathered nearby in case she needs to make a barrier on very short notice.
A couple of the most visible vorcha get taken out by covering fire, and a few more spears clatter against the vehicle's armor, but everyone makes it inside at last.
Yan Sun shouts out again, almost looking like she's going to try and pull Jessica inside for a moment. "Jessica! Get inside! Hurry!"
Jessica finishes stumbling around with her thermal clip, hand covered in her own blood, and backs up the ramp, firing off a few more shots. She continues shouting at the vorcha over the storm, although it's barely audible over the rest of the noises going on as she isn't activating comms. Just as she reaches the top of the ramp, it begins to lift closed, care of Jasper. Suddenly, a bone spear slips through the gap. A thunk
sounds out and Jessica lets out a blood curdling cry-.... as it shatters against her helmet. "Fucking vorcha! I'm going to kill every. Fucking. One!!" she shouts at the door once it's closed.
