"[color=6ecff6]How much ordnance is that anthropomorphic sardine packing?![/color]"

Vella privately thought to herself as she watched Giles work. As a dedicated shock trooper, she had easily recognized the kind of mines that the Drell was deploying; it was the Cain type, as they were called. She knew that a single one of those were sufficient to blow up a small block. Put a few of them together, and you could annihilate an entire neighborhood real fast!

Granted, Gile's were noticeably smaller than what she usually worked with in the past...

"BWAHAHA! DESPAIR, YE MIGHTY! HAHAHAHAA!" 

"[color=6ecff6]No no, step back; then you can do your A4 evil Cerberus laughter sans personal vaporization, you primate![/color]" Vella cried back in a response to Ellis; almost as if she had been instructing a child; as the Asari had already begun to step backwards, still firing continuously into the oncoming horde in a dazzling streaks of crystal clear white beams that leaped from her Apostle assault rifle, disintegrating the cores of the enemy husks.
Thanks to her Kinetic Barriers supported by her Tech Armor and further supplanted by her own Biotic Barriers, the Asari usually felt very confident, even in the face of overwhelming enemy fire.

But to hell if she wanted to try her luck with more than a dozen Cain units!!!

"[color=6ecff6]Wait, who let the,-[/color]" Vella would suddenly exclaim as she quickly glanced over her shoulder, looked back; paused, then suddenly looked back as she saw the escaping backs of the Cerberus scientists currently fleeing the scene!

"[b][color=6ecff6]STOP![/color][/b]" Vella paused, interrupting her own reload process as she instead turned to point at the fleeing Cerberus scientists whom; [i]unsurprisingly[/i]; completely ignored her!

"[b][color=6ecff6]GET OVER HERE![/color][/b]"

Vella formed a gestured with her outstretched hand, before throwing her arm backwards in a pulling motion! One of the Cerberus scientists was suddenly stopped right in his track, as if an invisible force had just grabbed him, before he was pulled back like a stunt man from a bad action movie, and came flying back into the room before falling in a trashed heap onto the floor with a painful groan!
However, before Vella could repeat the process with any of the other Cerberus scientists, they had already fled out of sight!

She had to admit, Vella was surprised at how fast those academic eggheads could actually run once their asses were in the fire!

"[color=6ecff6]Oafhh![/color]" 

Yet as soon as the Cerberus scientist had hit the ground, Vella felt a force hit her from behind as one of the husks had just leaped on her. She heard another clank, as a second husk had thrown itself at her feet and was trying to gnaw its way through her boot, with a third closing in!

[i]"[color=6ecff6]BY THE GODDESS'S SANCTIFIED ASS, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAMN LINE?!?[/color]"[/i]

Vella thought to herself, as she was promptly rammed by a trio of husks! However, that was not quite as bad as her previous encounter with Rykarn, who was a literal bus by comparison! She was staggered, but not knocked prone, and she came back with an immediate vengeance!

With her rifle still overheating and the husks all over her, Vella moved one finger across an omni panel below her wrist; which caused the glowing tech barriers around her to suddenly explode with a violent force, sending out a blinding electric light, immediately charring the nearby husks! The entire front of the tusk latched onto her torso was fried, half its skull immediately vaporized by the violent electric surges emanating from her! The third one behind it was knocked back, but the one lying at her feet had mostly gone unharmed!

"[color=6ecff6]Get - off![/color]"

Vella mouthed as she raised her other foot, and brought it slamming down onto the husk's skull in a hard stomp, causing its skull to cave in on itself with a sickening squelching noise and the desiccated fiend to finally go still!

Taking some steps back, Vella saw another wave of husks come surging forward. The entryway was like the opening of an insect hive, with an endless wave of reanimated, mutilated corpses constantly ushering out in a single, black, writhing mass of limbs, lights and wails; throwing itself against anyone and anything it could find! Eight more husks were already coming towards her, and Vella let out a mechanical chuckle from behind her helmet.

"[color=6ecff6]Stand aside![/color]" She called out, clenching her fists as her entire being was suddenly engulfed in a shimmering, blue biotic light! Teeth clenched, she would suddenly let out a ferocious cry as she threw her arm forward, suddenly unleashing a great wave of force that surged into the oncoming horde like a biotic wind!

Dozens of husks were picked up by the force and swept off their feet, thrown back towards the entryway as if they had been swatted aside like ants!

The actual damage from the attack had been minimal, but it had served to halt a large portion of the advancing husks, leaving them in a sprawling mess near the entryway as they tried to get themselves untangled from one another to resume the charge!

"[color=6ecff6]Beat that one, Ellis.[/color]" Vella said with a bemused tone as she continued to step back, reactivating her Tech Armor and drawing her Acolyte pistol. Yet as she stepped back, she would turn around halfway and place one foot on the hand of the Cerberus scientist lying on the ground, the man currently groaning suddenly letting out a scared yelp as she grabbed him by his collar and began pulling him after her as she continued to move further away from the entryway.

"[color=6ecff6]You know there are laws against shooting unarmed prisoners.[/color]" Vella spoke to him as she dragged him towards the back, suddenly whipping out a duo of shots and dropping a charging husk; all the while the scientist in question was scratching at his collar which acted almost like a suffocating noose on him as he was dragged along the ground!
" [color=6ecff6]... that is, unless they are fleeing from you. I can be a benevolent mistress, but don't try anything again. Next time I'll have a prepared Thermal clip just for you, honey![/color]"
