Hoshi stayed close to Marius as the others engaged the Mutons. It hadn't taken long at all for things to start heating up and she was starting to get anxious. [I]Where's my kill going to be?[/I] Just as the thought ran across her mind Nic had jumped across the checkout counter and dragged a Muton in with him. It charged out of cover in a rage but Hoshi was ready for him. Just seconds after it rounded the corner she fired her rifle and a beam cut across the parking, lot through the window, and into the Muton's skull. "One less for worry." The other Mutons started opening fire in response so Hoshi took a dive behind the exploded car on the street. Just then she noticed the familiar sound of Floaters. She scanned the sky until she spotted two of them heading for the Skyranger. "Two Floaters gunning for the transport!" Hoshi took a shot at one but there movements were too erratic for her to hit with the sniper rifle. "Pilot take evasive action now!"
