He jerked an eye at Feign's efforts on the webbed grating.  Seeing that they were within inches of freedom, he shouted, "Feign!  Grab O'Toole once you get through!  Baz, get the hell away from that thing!"</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Feign doesn't respond, but continues to saw furiously at the webbing until the sword pops free unexpectedly, nearly tossing him back with the force of his pulling on it.  Rather than trying to get the blade tip back under the web, he grabs at the grate and pulls with all his might, one edge is still covered with webbing and another edge less than halfway covered.  The seal on the half-covered side begin to pull against the pull, but even with the leverage, they hang on...  With a harder pull, the webbing suddenly tears away just as there is a loud snap from Feign's arm.<br/><br/>"SHIT!  OW!  It's open! Go!!"  He snatches his gun with his right hand, the left one hanging uselessly, and obviously broken somewhere.  A bad consequence of super-human muscles with semi-hollow bones.<br/><br/>He takes aim and fires without a thought to the pain in his left arm, the demege was something he could worry about when more immediate threats are out of the way.<br/><br/>The single bullet travels mere inches away from Halvorson's arm, and even closer to Baz's head on its path towards Seth.  Even though the full noise of the shot is far from them both, the supersonic crack of the bullet through the air seems extremely loud as it goes by Baz's super-sensative ear.
