The thug offered no resistance as Darion threw him over the balcony. The group encroaching on Rajarr lost another of their number as the thug flung from above landed square on one them. The weight of the man and his armor knocked the firing gunman below him to the ground, compacting his spine on the way down.<br/><br/>They all continued pushing forward. A few of them jerked and spun as Sorv made his run from behind the bar sending shots whipping past them or ricocheting off their shields. A brief moment later Rajarr burst forward. With nowhere to go but through the grip of thugs, the Krogan's barreling charge threw the Asari in front of him off her feet, and a distance away from where she was last standing. Rajarr's shoulder clipped a Human beside the Asari, the force of the hit dislocating his arm immediately and sending him spinning to broken glass on the ground below.<br/><br/>Rajarr's final incendiary shot tore across the bar, but anything that may have been left standing on the bar had been turned to shards before. The spattering of alcohol, however, ignited as the flaming rounds ricocheted  off the counter, sending the higher proofs which quickly spread.<span style="color: DarkRed">Fuck 'em!</span>A bigger Human with scars running across his face shouted as the other thugs separated from Rajarr and Darion by the small wall of flame.<span style="color: DarkRed">Illium security's gunna be here any second!</span><br/><br/>With that, the remaining group that had been guarding Gilax ran for the back door to disappear in the streets beyond. It wasn't long before the distinct repeating whine of Security squadcars could be heard in the distance and closing in rapidly.<br/><br/>Sorv's hopes of chasing Gilax in a vehicle rapidly evaporated. While it was nothing short of a miracle that he even found a skycar among the tight corridors created by the towering multilayer buildings, there was no chance of getting anywhere near Gilax who had disappeared into the labyrinth that was the city spaces beneath the domes.There was only one way to go: up, dodging the dozens of walkways that ran between open layers of commercial and living space. All parking in the confinement of the dome was relegated to the rooftops of the towers within, as they were the only places where there was any room to put a skycar, little alone several hundred. As Sorv flew, his omni-tool repeated it's message.<br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: DeepSkyBlue">Gilax! Stop! Illium Security!</span>the officer shouted as loud as she could as she followed Gilax up another flight of stairs line by Asari civilians lining the narrow railings in an effort to give the security officer room to pursue the Salarian who had  just moments before shoved them out of his way, nearly tossing them over the edge in his mad dash to escape.<br/><br/>Despite the officer's orders, Gilax kept running. As he passed a group of Asari women exiting a store with arms laden with bags of clothing he turned, pulling his pistol from his hip and fired at the security officer, grasping the weapon with two shaking hands and trying to see through the sweat that was rapidly making itself a danger as it stung his eyes. He bared his teeth and shouted wildly as he pulled the trigger.<br/><br/>The shots zipped passed the officer and into a long pane of glass lined with flashing advertisements. The glass exploded on impact. The security officer threw herself to the ground, amid the blast of glass that stung her bare neck as it flew through the air all around her and skidded across the ground.<br/><br/>Gilax saw the officer dive and immediately turned around and kept running. The officer scrambled to get back on her feet on the shards of glass, feeling blood flow as the small razors dug into her hands as she pushed herself up.<br/><br/>Screams were everywhere as the officer charged after Gilax, who had disappeared around the corner of another shop down the corridor. The Salarian kept checking over his shoulder as he ran for another stairway to the next level. He had to get to the roof, he had to get to his car.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
