First Drack’s grenade was thrown, then a blast of cold seized through Juko’s lanky frame and caused ice crystals to form on his exposed skin. But it was the concussive blast of Jarv’s grenade that knocked the salarian off of his feet, rag-dolling as all of his lights were instantly switched off. One resistance member was out of the count before his body could finally settle into unconsciousness on the floor.<br/><br/>Some of the others didn’t fare very well, either. Although certainly better than the first. The turian twins were hit with the concussive force of two separate blasts, but distance and partial cover lessened the blow so that they were sprawling and disoriented, but not out of the fight. The twin on the left of the barricade, however, was climbing to his feet almost instantly, tucked away behind the glowing blue wall erected by a<em>very</em>livid commando who didn’t find any amusement to the situation. She wanted nice, easy money, and this just made things a whole lot more complicated.<br/><br/>With a scream that only supported her short temper, the asari converted her biotic shield into a wave that was powerful enough to knock even a krogan off of his feet if they weren’t smart or careful. Turn about was fair play.<br/><br/>On the other side of the landing zone, those who hadn’t yet picked sides found their encouragement in violence. Three other mercs joined the ranks of the disgruntled asari, and started positioning themselves behind stone barriers to protect her exposed flank. That left a hail of bullets sweeping back towards Ashton… and innocent civilians who only wished to find safety and sanctuary in these troubling circumstances. Screams of panic, alarm -which could very well act as dinner bells to some of the beasts lurking in the streets- began to pitch in volume over the staccato of weapon’s fire.<br/><br/>This was why the human sniper that Luus charged with his biotics had to shout to be heard, even if his comeback was quite dreadful and perhaps a little pathetic with its outcome. “Not if you’re dead!” But the fact that the human flickered out of view and turned invisible might have added a point in his favor, anyway.<br/><br/><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Drack</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Cover is available where you are, but complete coverage from the asari’s biotic-bullshit isn’t within a reasonable distance. A battle-hardened krogan would certainly survive a blast like that, and the experience that comes with it would let Drack know that the asari wouldn’t necessarily have long to ‘cool down’. (And since he has two asari daughters… he probably knows that when they lose their temper a ‘cool down’ isn’t really something you can depend on.) Still, there are cemented barriers that could provide a decent amount of protection when you’ve got unarmored cargo in your mits.</div></div>          <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Zel</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The cryo blast hit its mark, and our poor chemist is in a poor position. With the three mercenaries joining the ranks behind the asari, she will be an easy target. While the asari’s biotic blast is something to be wary of… Zel is <em>pretty sure</em> she’s only on the outermost edge of the wave. Maybe… probably? Those barriers will help her position, but it’s up to her if she wants to fully depend on them.</div></div>          <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Jarv</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The twins are giving you the stink-eye. You’re not as protected from the biotic wave as Zel is, but there are cemented platforms around you that are likely great cover-spots. Jarv would know these faces well -and he’d know that they tend to hold grudges. Now that violence has been exchanged, there aren’t going to be any words of forgiveness. The Asari -Iraya- is especially cold and calculating. She isn’t part of any merc-group because she is impulsive and greedy. And can’t be trusted. But she’s easily distracted, and her eyes are on the krogan and human.</div></div>          <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Luus</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Your sniper cloaked, and it’s far too loud to listen for footsteps in the hopes of picking out which direction he intends to go. But Luus is a big guy, and humans are kind of fragile… are you certain he could even get up after being smeared across the pavement like that?</div></div></div><br/><br/>
