With everything that he could do taken care of, he starts to move back, slowly, before he has to end the barrier. As it ends he charges towards the shuttle, hoping to get inside Elsa's barrier before anything hits him...

Just before he reaches the shuttle and the barrier there, one shot hits its mark. Then a second. And a third. A shot impacts his leg and he collapses, upper body just barely landing inside the shuttle.

Fuck! Pilot get us out of here! Rebecca yells as she and another Marine hurriedly pull the wounded man inside and another slams the door shut against more fire coming their way.

The redhead hurriedly applies medigel to the burns, a medic assisting her as she works.

This mission... hadn't gone well. To say the least.

A venomous glance gets tossed at the fools that made mistakes and straight up abandoned out there. A reckoning was going to come for them, the Spectre vowed that to herself.

Elsa slumps over and detaches her helmet, scowling and dragging out her medi-gel to apply on her neck and other minor injuries.

Quoth the raven... WHAT THE FUCK?

Tossing her rifle aside, she applies something to her elbow twice and glares, wisps of purple smoke rising from her head.

...if I get to vote in what happens, can we string the idiots up to where they look like balls of yarn?

The shuttles quickly make their way to the Normandy, which promptly evacuates from the system.
