<b>[Group 1]</b><br/><br/>Neymi's heavy backpack slid off her back as Darion picked her up, allowing only to bear the hybrid weight, rather than that of her gear as well. She didn't respond to him picking her up, but neither did her drones, who didn't even seem to glance in Darion's direction. She indeed must've added Kes and Darion to the drones's IFF list. As the soldier broke into a run, the drones retreated with him, staying within range of Neymi and giving the soldier some covering fire. On the move their aiming was less than ideal, and the drones even started to lag behind a bit. Still bullets cut through the advancing slime wall, causing at least some damage as the walls got painted with goo and bullet holes.<br/><br/>As if responding to Darion's words, the hybrid stirred while laying on his shoulders. She groaned in pain, clutching at her head while returning her senses.<span style="color: blue">"W-Where... zo much p-pain... Darion? G-get me into cover, please." </span>She sounded a lot meeker, and was far quieter than the pain should account for. The proud woman knocked off her high horse by the Kryslin commander taking her down with such ease. Despite the brain wracking her skull, Neymi forced herself to focus. Looking on her wristbound computer, she tapped a few buttons. Instantly, the grenade-droids that had formed a minefield activated, and all congregated on a single target. The five drones flew over to the Kryslin commander, detonating in a fiery explosion while Neymi watched. The hybrid basked in the light and warmth of the explosion, and was unable to suppress a grin.<span style="color: blue">"Zome people just want to zet the world on fire..."</span><br/><br/>Neymi groaned in pain when Darion set her down into cover, despite the regeneration abilities of one of her father races, she was still in a bad shape and had trouble recovering from the mental attack. She still mustered the strength to call out.<span style="color: blue">"I don't care who or what you are, Kryslin, but I will be no one's pet or beast. Even if you zurvived that attack and manage to kill us three, you will ztill die. The zhip we arrived in is going to blow this cruiser sky-high, and will zelf-destruct if we don't return. If you pull back those slimes now, I promise we'll zpare you and the cruiser zo your buddies can pick you up."</span>She contacted the Exarch AI at the same time, ordering it to just that should they all die and should Toi and Kimmi fail to retrieve the queen.<span style="color: blue">"Zo, if you've got any zhred of zelf-preservation, drop your gun and walk away with these zlimes in tow."</span><br/><br/><b>["Boo" Supressor drone: action 1: move, action 2: fire (to-hit 11+5 acc = 16.
