Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the string of sudden injuries, and Kwon's insane rush out the door, Ruth had to hold back for fear of hurting his squad mate. But with Garret's instructions, he silently nodded and covered his ears, closing his eyes as tight as he could. Once the bang set off, he was out the door and flanking it, covering their escape route, unable to see much through the haze from the flash-bangs. he hoped everyone would get out, and waited for the signal to move his butt out of there. the farther away from these damn lizards, the better.

Amidst all the chaos, all Sehene could do was stay as low and out of the way as possible. She heard the order and turned away from the noise as much as possible, hailing the transport. She had to almost scream into the comm to get through. “Transport. This is Sehene, we will be heading to the rendezvous now, and it’s most likely going to be a hot pick-up, so be prepared.” She looked around a moment, seeing Hendlow toss the bombs. “Sehene out!” She ducked and covered her ears, trying to avoid the ringing that would inevitably come after the harsh explosion. The room seemed to shake slightly, and a moment of utter silence fell before chaos resumed; Drathonian shouts, and the marching of soldiers. She got up swiftly and ran with the others into the hallway, drawing her small energy rifle ((I’m too lazy to go find the actual name...sorry guys)) from the side of her armour and preparing it for firing if need be. She almost slipped and fell over the Drathonian bodies in the hall, but ignored them, focusing solely on getting out of there.

The Drathonians, not expecting flash-bangs, had hidden behind their shields for protection, and were now dazed. Though not quite blind, borth were very deaf and disoriented, and had stopped shooting for a moment to try and recover. Now was the time for Flare element to get moving if they were going to go.

[[Oh... I blame it on the meds i'm taking for having my wisdom teeth pulled XD they are, indeed, dead.. I may be normal soon, so just.. yannow.. ignore that then. In any case, we can now escape!!!!]]

[[I haven't killed off your character yet, so i suppose that means you do. We're about to end the current chapter, so if you need a restart point you've come at the right time.]]

Ruth watched as Kwon sort of limped past, and stayed behind a few moments to make sure the way out was safe for Mortego, Sehene and Meigan. Just in the nick of time, a few drathonians rounded the corner, to be peppered with lead from Ruth's rifle. The trio of lizards ducked behind the corner in suprise. Ruth kept up his fire, allowing for the others to escape.


Outside, Garrett was greeted with quite a bit more light than there had been when they went inside, not in the form of sunlight, but instead spotlights. pointed at him. oh, and these angry red lances of light peppering the ground near his feet from every direction. Apparently there were multiple entrances to the compound and more guards than originally thought.

"Damnit!" he breathed and made his way into the woods where he could take cover. "Go back, and make sure they all get out, preferably alive." He smirked stupidly at his own miserable joke. "I trust you to get it done, Kwon." He patted the soldier on the shoulder and slumped against a tree, taking a deep breath. There was nothing he could do.
