"I'm fine, but krogans are much tougher than you think. Apparently your Systems Alliance advises the use of anti-vehicle weapons against enemy krogans."

"Yes, but it was just reaction. Too many of my men have died to mercenaries. You going to the dig site too? Sairus lowered himself behind cover, and sat down, taking a rest.

"I'm here in search of a salarian assassin. He seems to realize I'm on his trail, but isn't very good at covering his tracks." Korzin pressed his open palm and his fist together. "I'd love to smash that bug-eye's skull to bits."

Gerdon chuckled as he spied the Krogan talking to a human. "That buffoon, He's not going to give up anytime soon". He took out his Widower, and aimed for his head, Then stopped. Where would be the fun in that?
He looked around and saw the dig site, as well as several dead humans. Then he saw something which caught his interest. a "dead" geth. he took a photogrph for the special task forces and continued his search. The planet was razed, The geth did'nt have any incentive to attack a random Human colony. Why would they, other than the dig site... He jumped down to the dig site to look around.

Gane lifted himself up off the ground as gunfire erupted in front of him. He backpedaled to his previous position, among a group of large trees to one side of a dirt path. He reached for his communicator. "Visual contact lost on Krogan target." His reply was almost immediate. "Copy that. Regroup at LZ, over." Gane checked his weapon, and started off towards his ordered destination. "Copy that. On route to destination. Out."

As the group unrealistically tries to go their separate ways,
a large explosion can be seen and heard in the south east.

It is likely to be a fuel depot, judging by the ball shape of the firestorm and the large amount of force for its size.

A couple of minutes later a young man wearing a Systems Alliance dress uniform suddenly limps into view,
carrying a 22 year old human female in his arms. The woman seems to be unconscious,
but from her appearance it is obvious that if she were awake she would likely be carrying the man.

The woman is moderately armored, in a bright yellow and white carapace of biotic amps and field generators.

It doesn't seem possible that the man could be carrying all that weight unarmored,
since the armor must weigh at least twice as much as him.

"Medic! I need a medic! ANYONE!" He gently lays the woman down on the ground and frantically rummages through
a medical satchel he had probably lifted off of a dead Marine. "Stay with me!" The young man gently slaps the woman's
face a few times, which to his surprise elicits a response.

Her eyes shoot open and glow a bright neon blue.

The man barely has time to curse before he gets thrown over three parked farm vehicles and lands in a pile of grain.

She then turns her attention to the Krogan, who she perceives to be the largest threat.


So the current scenario is this:

The woman is loaded with biotic power, but it's apparent now that she is wounded and her armor is partially frozen.
Her actions seem to denote that she isn't in complete control of her body and trying to incapacitate her
would be a hell of a lot easier than trying to kill her.

The player closest to the woman is Korzin.

The player closest to the wounded man is Gane.

The player furthest from the battle is Gerdon.

Kara and Sairus are midway between Korzin and Gane.


I would also suggest you guys choose a color to post with,
so it is easier to differentiate your posts.

The closest player to the woman is Korzin.

The farthest player from the woman and the closest to the wounded man is Gane.
The man doesn't seem to be in too bad of shape, and it would probably be safe to leave him alone for now.

Gerdon is the same distance from the woman as Kara and Sairus, but on the opposite side and cloaked.

The woman is still staring down Korzin, and seems to be waiting for the krogan to make his move.

The man watches as Gane approaches him, thankful that the Turian's weapon isn't being pointed at him.
"My leg, I think it's broken... I'm safe enough for now. Just make sure they don't hurt Kassandra... She means the world to me."

He points at the biotic crazed woman in the fancy armor, who is continuing to stare down Korzin.
Suddenly he seizes in pain, which makes Kassandra look in his direction with a concerned look.

Her maternal glare is marred by the neon glow of her biotics,
but you can see that the man's short flight through over the battle scarred farmland probably wasn't intentional.

Gerdon is in a prime location to charge up behind the woman and completely disable her power armor.
This would leave him wide open to Korzin however, and an opportunity has presented itself to possibly talk her down.

"Humans... " Korzin sighs. "You know, you're not the only biotic here," he says, his voice barely holding back his rage. He starts to glow with his own biotic powers. He raises his shotgun at the same time, ready to fire. "You're also not the toughest around here, either," Korzin taunts, making sure his shotgun is loaded with incendiary ammo.

As Gane lifts the man onto to his feet, the young Alliance officer accidentally tries to put weight onto his left leg and winces in pain.

"You'd best leave me here for now Jack, even with modern technology that bone is gonna need to be set before you move me."

The biotic known as Kassandra glances back at her wounded comrade, again giving either Korzin or Gerdon a chance to incapacitate her.

Whatever you decide to do can't be to extreme however, or her already damaged power armor might explode.

Both Sairus and Kara see a weak point in both Korzin's and Kassandra's biotic fields.

Weakening either one will bring an end to the standoff, and hopefully allow me to advance the story.

"I'm impressed. Humans that don't back down from such power are rarer than fertile krogan females," Korzin comments, walking around the apparently very brave, very powerful, or very naive human. A few seconds after saying this, several small, blue explosions appear on the human biotic's armor. "What, is this your laughable attempt to get me to back down? Trying to detonate your power armor in an attempt to kill yourself, me, the turian, and the other human who seems to care about you so much?" Korzin chuckles, being careful to not let his guard down.

The young man winces as Gane drags him away from the standoff. "I don't know about you Turians,
but when a human has a broken leg, you shouldn't move the casualty without stabilizing it.
I don't fancy having to go through the treatment to have to grow a new one."

Kara's sabotage of the woman's power armor has snapped her back into a state of lucidity,
and without missing a beat Kassandra rips Korzin's shotgun from his hands and hits the top of his brow with the butt end.

"I don't like people pointing guns at me. Where's Michael?" She ejects a thermal clip and places the shotgun on her back holster.
She watches Korzin's murderous gaze as he recovers from the sudden attack. "Don't worry, you'll get it back in a bit."

She breaks open an omni-gel canister and lathers it on her armor, which gets to work repairing it.
"Michael, where are you?" She begins to walk away from Korzin and towards Gane, who is dragging Michael on a broken leg.

"And just how long is a bit?" Korzin grabs his assault rifle. Pointing it at the ground, he adds, "If there's one thing 500 years of living in this galaxy has taught me, it's that there's only one person you can trust: yourself."

"As much as I don't think this calls for a truce, I know I'm outnumbered in this. So, whatever. Let's call a truce." Korzin stops glowing with biotic energy, but he keeps his assault rifle out and aimed at the ground. "You know, the only person here capable of any actual combat right now aside from me is the non-crippled human. So be glad I'm not resisting you." Then, he turns around to face his attacker, who turns out to be a salarian. He says quietly "And if you give me any reason to believe you're the assassin I'm hunting, you will regret not staying on your ship and immediately running away."
