"Hmmm, potential traitors?" uttered Raddia quietly as she looked at the Turian weaponry the Krogan had somehow acquired for a quick moment, before she walked ahead with the group until the flashbang blew before them. "Ugghh..." The asari commando groaned as she backed up a little and tried to focus her vision on whatever was on the other side of the door. Raising her hand in the air, she flung a Statis orb towards where she remembered the center of the door being, hoping to at least slow down the enemy enough to reorient herself.
Gerris staggered in place, the force of the blast fortunately not as focused to knock her off her feet but her ears were ringing too much for her to concentrate her vision, everything was a blur for quite a few seconds. She prepared her dual omni-blades above her backhands, shutting her eyes and trying to clear her hearing enough to have a means to defend herself were the enemy about to ambush them in CQC.
But this was dangerous. The concussion from the flashbangs was enough to tear through kinetic barriers, disabling them temporarily- without shields they were all easy targets!
The female turian threw her back against the wall to do her best at hiding. It would be tough to fight an enemy with this kind of disadvantage, but there was nothing to do but wait.
"GAH! Bastards!" Talon growled as he instinctively covered his eyes, too late to block the bright flash of light. His vision blurred and odd spots of color floating before his eyes as he tried focusin, "Crud, get ready for an attack, and watch the friendly fire!" He warned as he took he pressed against the wall, the only source of cover in the small area.
Raddia's statis orb connected as a figure seem to hover through the smoke of the flash bang grenades till the group could see it was a Quarian. "Uhhhh don't shoot." she gasped.
"Indeed, wouldn't want to shoot your little spy," Tritop said as he came through the doors armed to the hilt in Krogan battle armor. "but then again I have something else in mind." he said using biotic "push" on Zevia sending her flying towards Talon's cover spot. The Quarian tried to brace the impact, but her helmet snapped into the wall with a distinctive 'crack' as she landed beside Talon in a daze.
Tritop chuckled, and pumped his shotgun. "Well you've come this fair for me. Don't disappoint me." he growled.
Tafina stumbled behind the console as his eyes were blurred from the grenades. He pulled his omni-tool up, and started to scan Tritop. "I'll scan his armor, give me time to find a weakness." he sent over his com to the rest of the group.
**Battle Start**
OOC: Well after a long discussion with Drake apparently I am NOT allowed to have a gatling bazooka. So guess we do this the old fashioned way.
IC:
"Cover me!" Talon shouted as he dove from cover, firing a few blind and hasty shots at Tritop to hopefully keep him busy as he moved for the downed quarian, wrapping an arm around her waist as he dragged her behind cover.
"Just stay put, last thing I need's a wild-card with a head injury," he said to her as he moved to the edge of his cover, glancing past cautiously towards Tritop, "We're under orders to bring him in alive, that doesn't mean intact, so make your shots count!" he shouted.
Gerris found herself in a fortunate situation as the krogan battlemaster didn't seem to notice her once he made his appearance. She glanced down at her omni-tool and waited as a gauge went from 97% to 100% in a couple of seconds. "It's fixed..." she thought, then quickly assumed her tactical cloak to keep aggro off herself. Seeing Talon was busy she made a quick hand gesture over to Raddia before she faded, hoping she would attract attention while Gerris assessed which angle she'd sneak-attack Tritops from.
"Shit..." gasped the Asari as her Statis sphere hit the wrong target, the commando ducking as the Quarian was flung towards them. Raddia took cover and held her head for a moment, trying to get her vision to straighten, things still a bit of a blur. Looking over, she noticed Gerris signaling her to make a move. Oh goodie, she wants me to be the decoy when I still got shaky cam. 'Kay, get in there, not die, I can do that. Following Gerris' hand signal, she threw a Warp orb towards Tritop's armor to weaken the thick plating on the molecular scale, all while rolling over to another bit of cover to distract him. Good thing he's such a big target in that hunk of metal.
**Guys I am going to ditch the dice battle results for now as I started to notice a lot of attacks getting near instant kills so it was making things too easy. We'll continue to do this as a rp and I will try to keep the boss battles as fair as possible. If you want it back let me know**
**Tritop**
Tritop mused at Talon's words. "Haha, try and take me alive. I'll make sure the price is high."
Raddia's ward orb hit Tritop's barrier causing it to ripple as it protected the battlemaster. "An Asari in a Turian squad, interesting." he mused as he pulled out some smoke grenades, and tossed them into the area she was hiding before moving to cover as the area filled with a thick white smoke.
"Lets see how you do without eyes to see." he said as the lenses to his helmet changed to infra-red to register heat before he started to walk towards the Asari.
**Raddia**
The Varren growled as the smoke filled the area as it stuck close to his master.
**Zevia & Talon**
Zevia moaned as her vision started to come back out of the dark with her mind recalling flying through the air and into a wall. Her vision slowly unclouded as she looked upon a Turian looking down at her for a moment before looking back yelling out orders. She was about to say more when she heard a hissing down from her helmet. She looked down and her eyes went wide as she saw a large crack in her helmet's shell. Her helmet was leaking! "I'm leaking!" Zevia shouted at the Turian before putting her hands onto the crack trying to slow the air coming into her suit.
**Tafina**
The salarian continued to type on his omni-tool as he hid behind the heavy duty crates. He had managed to hack into into the mainframe of the base and looked through records in an attempt to identify the Battlemasters armor. It had to have a weakness, one that the group could explore, but the files were heavily encrypted, but he knew he had to break through if they hope to win against the Krogan.
Gerris stood still and stifled a grunt as she saw the battlemaster produce a thick curtain of smoke. Fortunately, she was still behind him thanks to her earlier positioning, so unless Tritops had a radial heat-sign detector she would be safe out from view. She patiently awaited for Tafina's analysis, knowing the cloak would only work once in this kind of situation.
But any bonus damage she could inflict on Tritops would wane if the lingering effect from Raddia's Warp field disappeared. If Tafina couldn't deliver in time she would have to strike.
Smoke screen, most likely using some form of visor. Too much noise for sonar, so must be heat. Talon holstered his pistol, grabbing onto the handle of his assault rifle as he pulled it free, "Switch to incendiary ammo if you have 'em!" He ordered, knowing it would not only make the heat visor more difficult if it was filled with hundreds of glowing dots but also that incendiary rounds were highly effective against Krogan's natural healing.
Talon glanced over towards the shouting, seeing the Quarian desperately grasping her helmet, knowing even a small hole in their armor could cause death, "Damn," he growled as he moved towards her, still keeping his senses trained on Tritop, "Do you have any sealant or anything that can be used to stop the leak?" he asked.
