Godot is here..."</em><br/><br/>The sudden static had surprised Ranna as she watched Maho's sling jump up on top of the buildings to crater the streets.  But the real signal that shit was about to get bad had been when the David's retreated from the streets.  The ominous call on the broadcast frequencies had only sealed the moment of distress in her mind when she half turned a corner in time to see Hiro's Spider impaled by the Atlas' huge arm and Yamina's Locust falling towards the ground minus a leg.<br/><br/>They always say your training will define how you deal with a threat like this and your reactions will be unconscious which could be the difference in time between life and death.  With Ranna training was all she had known for years and as with everything it was fine tuned.  Without thinking Ranna turned back around the side of the building and slowly started moving through the streets of the building trying to put as much metal and ferroscrete between her hand the Atlas.  Secondly she flipped a switch on her secondary systems console and toggled the button underneath.  With a thud of metal and a pop of energy a small rocket shaped device launched from the back of Harlequin's torso.  Shooting high into the sky at high speed,, followed only by a light smoke trail a few seconds later the flare inside exploded into a magnesium rain of energy and light.  The IR interference blanketing the air over the Atlas would blind any sensor grid for minutes while the bright star in the sky would provide a signal flare to any outside of the umbrella of magnesium rain.<br/><br/>Without hesitation, Ranna used the cover to make her escape quickly ducking in and out of alleyways and streets moving faster than she knew the Atlas could follow, hoping Miyoko had seen the danger before getting to close and that Maho was close enough to see her turn and run and follow closely behind her.  Today, against those odds,  survival was the better part of Valor.<br/><br/>
