Kaya seemed to hesitate for a moment, two fingers held to the side of her head. It was a brief gesture, easily missed, and quickly overshadowed by her putting a hand up to the Krogan,<b>Arkorran</b>- looking up at him with a sudden intensity. If he'd moved against her the strain would have been obvious, she wasn't super human after all, but Kaya could hold her ground nonetheless. She spoke to him quietly and quickly, the distortion of her filter off-set by the crispness of her accent.<br/><br/><i>"He's on the move. Feddik. Change of direction - get ready to use that thing."</i><br/><br/>It wasn't a run she broke into, more of a determined power walk, but Kaya was surprisingly quick even clad in all that armour. Every once in a while she'd shoot a look back at the Krogan following her and frequently double check the firing mechanism on her gun; she knew everything in place, she knew none of it would fail on her, but this was how she always psyched up before an op. All in the little details, those pedantic little elements you could control - just a goddamn shame she had to resort to aliens in order to get anywhere. Still, the Krogan would be useful and could keep an entire crowd penned down by themselves; that was something to account for, if not necessarily rely on.<br/><br/>A couple of mercs slammed into her but they were too distracted to pick a fight - knocking a third civilian out of her way she ducked into what would have passed an alley way, cutting behind a number of small storefronts. She could hear the gunshots now, an obvious clue as to where they would find the target, and broke off into a run at last. With an almighty crack her shoulder whacked into a nearby wall, a quick peek offered out across the courtyard. Briefly she glimpsed Cravin duck behind something. Fair bit of ground between them but there was cover at least...all she had to do was get over there. Kaya cursed inwardly, hopefully everything would still be intact back at the warehouse.<br/><br/><i>"Keep the bastard safe - at least for now. Anyone goes to take him down you take </i>them<i> down, got it? We need to confirm it's him so don't go blowing his head off until you're absolutely pissing certain!"</i><br/><br/>It wasn't a request.<br/><br/>Two fingers to her headset again, a brief pause and she was suddenly barreling forward across the courtyard, notching down behind a series of maintenance pipes. Her head ducked out of cover for barely half a second, getting a fix on Cravin's location, shortly followed by the barrel of that M-99 she carried - a series of loud, booming shots rang out startling a nearby trio of mercenaries. The first shot got their attention, the second slammed through a chest, the third finished off his friend; the survivor turned and fled freeing up space between them and Cravin. Kaya's eyes scanned the apartments and windows nearby...it was a shooting gallery out here, there were going to be marksmen and wannabes all over the place.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
