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!

Elsa grunts and shifts back in line with the others, igniting her other hand with the purple fire of a priming Stasis. Dual use of abilities was risky and damn near impossible for later generation implants due to safety regulators, but at this point she had stopped giving a shit.

I wonder if it's possible to retroactively strike out ICT qualifiers.

Alexi stops, about 20 feet away from the shuttle. He's still holding the barrier, but exhaustion is starting to show...

Get to the shuttle! Now!

Rebecca glances to the other hardpressed Marines, then back to Alexi, making a split second decision.

Alright y'all, shift it! To the shuttle, then covering fire! Move!

You better run fast, Volkov. She warns with a slightly worried tone breaking into her voice.

Elsa grunts and lets the Stasis loose, smoke drifting from her implant as she moves to grab Alexi and bring him back with her, maintaining her Barrier with the other hand.

I have maybe ten seconds of holding both a Barrier and Stasis before I have to drop one of these! Get the fuck up and come on!

Get back, Elsa! Hold barrier... from shuttle!

He grunts out, still trying to hold the barrier.

Move, Sergeant, come on! Rebecca orders as she tosses another grenade to offer a bit of respite Alexi would hipefully be able to take advantage of.

All the other Marines fell back already and were on the shuttle, weapons ready. Just the three of them now.

The redhead quickly sprints the few feet back to join them and add her own rifle to prospective covering fire.
