Like the others, Kelly carefully manoeuvred her Eva into a firing position and lifted her Pallet rifle, squeezing off a full auto burst. Two of the shells managed to find the target, but both plinked harmlessly off the barrier, and she sighed "Gods how I hate these rifles. I might as well have a giant BB gun.". Additionally, while Kelly might have a life time of indoctrination to keep her obedient to superior officers, she had no qualms about putting trumped up civil servants in their place, and keyed the comm open, addressing the mayor; "Shut it civvie, Maria is a thousand times more capable than<em>you</em>, so maybe you should be replaced instead. Perhaps with someone with a spine." she declared with no small amount of menace. No surprise really; 'The unit is your family' was one of the principles she was raised on, and her undying dedication to her team-mates was a big part of the reason that she was able to contently fill her roll as a living meat shield, she would protect them with her life, and anyone who wanted to harm them would have to go through her first.
