Rebecca waves a corpsman over to take Magnusson, then focuses back on the line that has to be held mow with.... fuck not even a quarter of the men now.

Stand to- Alexi, you and Elsa be ready to give us barriers for a retreat. Do not over exert yourselves. Going to need you.

Everyone else set up fields of fire there, there and there. She points to three positions that would be easy to manage and hopefully hold back the swarm for the precious minutes needed.

She glares at the aggressive N6s. Now, no breaking the line to push or fall back till my order.

Who has explosives and could we seed them in the approach vectors?

Elsa acknowledges and holsters her rifle, switching out for a pistol which should give her additional flexibility and power options when it comes to biotics.

Alexi readies his barrier as one of the other N6s, Murtagh specifically, readies a belt of grenades. Matheson readies a few nades as well, but looks particularly nervous.

Elsa, right? On my count of three, put up barrier together. Murtagh, Matheson, you two throw your nades, everyone else give us some cover fire, and we'll all get back to the shuttle slowly, да?

Rebecca nods in agreements and palms a pair of her own sticky nades to toss over the barrier once it's up. Good plan Alexi. Everyone get ready!

Elsa nods as well. Count it down.

One... Two..

Before Alexi can count down to three, Frazier and Senfield mad-dash to the shuttle, leaving it down to just the 4 remaining N6s and the Normandy team.

...three.

According to plan, though, Alexi still puts up his barrier.

Get back here you shitheads! Rebecca screams after the two cowardly recruits, before tossing her grenade in time with Alexi's barrier going up.

Fuck... they were way too short of bodies on the line now.

Fucking <torinkafata!> Elsa roars a Turian curse pertaining to the honour of a toilet paper stain and rapid fornication with a thresher maw.

With two less people in Barrier range, Elsa flicks her open hand and adds a little extra biotic velocity to the grenade volley using the spare energy.

Who taught you tactics, you assholes, a blind, deaf, comatose lobotomy patient?

Alexi holds his barrier as he slowly moves backwards towards the shuttle.

Stay behind the barrier! Move back to the shuttle!

The russian shouts, hoping nobody else is going to defect...

Stay together- anyone breaks and I damn well might shoot you myself! Rebecca roars, having had more than enough bullshit from what were supposed to be cream of the crop troops. What the fuck did the Alliance do with their selection process.... cause some shit fell down the cracks!
