"...I have a radar in my skull," Owle answered, rubbing a hand on the back of her head. She was squirming under the suspicious glance, not really sure how she was going to explain this quickly.
"...that's really the best way to explain it," she added, shifting uncomfortably. She was now playing with her hair, another nervous gesture. She hated to admit it. "Telepath."
And she just waited, for more suspicious looks. For them to condemn her, to warn her not to go poking around in their skulls. That was the reaction she'd been taught to expect by a guy in an eight foot tall mech suit, once.

Fenrir Fenix One more with feeling.Aiming the rifle blindly, not using the sights, Saul plugged the down beastie in the back of the head. BLAM. One of the assumed-to-be-dead creatures near Saul wasn't dead- it was getting ready for round two. In the special case of this Cocoon, a sack of flesh incubating a darker, more disturbing abomination of biology, the rapid evolution of the Omnipraga virus had taken full hold. The seemingly lifeless 'zombie' twitch and let out a sickening gurgling sound from within. It bloated, plumped. Like a bloody, gory marshmellow cooking in the microwave the creature began to explode and release something real shitty.

Now what?
Walking backwards, raising the rifle, Saul intended to put a whole lot of distance between him and Explodey McCorpse. Getting covered with gore wasn't high on his lists of interests.
Twisting his head around to make sure he didn't step into anything big enough to trip him, he looked forward again. Nineteen rounds left in the mag, one ******** up corpse.

The corpse tore halfway open down the middle a** ((Edit: haha, a**.)) bullets riddled it's pulsing mass. A curdled screech came from inside what was left of the thinly strechted flesh that was once human.
Dripping tentacles exploded from the gore-crevice and from various different, random places on the body, writhing in agony. The creature would never see the light of day.

From where he was, Saul just watched.
"That's gross."
Fighting the natural urge to go over and poke it with a stick, or otherwise see what just happened. Moving away, really fast.
Just in case it really wanted to go all Matryoshka Doll on his a**.

"You know, you saying that just makes me think that, instead of picking up your stuff, we might spend that time saving that guy."
He smiled, this time it was less sincere and more of a mocking gesture. Then, more gunshots. He lifted his head, and started jogging forward, ahead of Tweak, towards the noise.
Now he was ready to snap the rifle up to attention the moment something came into view, which, judging by the proximity of the gunshots, wasn't going to be too far from that point.
"Just great."
He muttered beneath his breath.

Owle blinked. No notice taken of the fact she was a ******** by soldier boy, at least. Thank the gods.
So...
Following right behind the guy heading towards the trouble when you don't have a ranged weapon isn't the best idea. Ever.
Owle thought about staying where she was for a second. Two.
Then again, being seperated from the only person in this whole group she trusted to get her out of here alive...that was a worse idea.
With a muttered curse, she went jogging after Gabe.

Tweak wasted no time in jogging along with Owle and Gabe. A telepath and soldier boy were his tickets to staying alive. It would be assumed Stiffy followed.
"Thats coo', just stay out of my head. Dont need my secrets being spread all over and s**t." He stayed on the opposite side of Gabe from her. Not that he was really all that worried about it. Worse case scenerio he could just shoot her or something if need be. Granted he would probably be killed be soldier boy and that would take away their radar.
s**t, what if she knew what he was thinking!? Took effort to steer his mind off how to work around her telepathy, just in case she was reading him, and focusing on what Gabe was doing.
"Look man. If we run into some bitchin zombies, we can save this mutha and then book it for the shop I'm talking 'bout. Guy who lived there was a ******** psycho or some s**t, can probably use his stuff to make it back out!" Unspoken in the back of Tweak's mind was a, "And I can fill my pockets with cash from the register and any valuable jewels!"

Nearly tripping over his own numb foot, he dropped into a crouch with the rifle up. Facing a handful of people jogging his way, atleast they weren't zombies. Hopefully.
With the camopatterned helmet balancing delicately on his head, Saul didn't say anything. Just watching with a dumb look on his heavily tattoo'd face. Branching arcs of barbed wire crisscrossed his face in a design Saul thought was cool at the time.
Having not given much thought to the situation, Saul didn't stop to think that maybe they think him hostile and start shooting. Maybe not, considering his overall soldier-y look. Despite his forearms being covered in blood from the elbow down the flak jacket, dogtags, camo helmet and pants, and rifle were very distinct.

When Gabe began jogging towards the sounds of gunshots, Drake silently followed, his katana drawn as he moves in his version of a jog, a slow shambling movement that is about as fast as a quick walking pace for an average person. Drake could care less that the medic was a telepath. He knew how to guard his mind against them, and her abilities only increased her worth to the group, despite her hasty and impetuous mind. He could also care less about Tweak's thinly veiled "get-rich-by-loot" schemes. He had everything he needed...well, except a few things...
Drake: "I think that's Saul."
He breaks his silence once he sees the unique tattoo branded across the face of the man before them.

Owle stiffened at the almost accusation from Tweak, but didn't stop moving. "Of course..." she forced herself to answer. "I don't casually barge into people's minds!"
She didn't say it loudly, but her tone was angry, defensive. Too many times, and too much abuse over that suspicion, had made her rather quick to snap at people who dared accuse her of it. Well...at least the samurai-ninja-pirate didn't seem to mind.
"Are you alright?" she called out to the (presumably) injured soldier before them...Saul, the samurai said his name was?
She held up her hands, showing that there were no weapons in them. She didn't look human, but she could at least appear nonthreatening.
