[u]Codi Bailey[/u]

When Codi was waiting in the flag room, she became aware of noise inside of it; which did not come from her own person. She didn’t know if it was her own team member, or someone from the enemy team, in the latter case, it was a mystery how the person got there. Regardless, she had warned her own team members that she lacked night vision, and therefore she would not be able to distinguish friend from foe once the lights went out. She had made up her mind once the warning was given that she would attack anyone who entered, seeing as that it made no sense for her own team to be in their flag room unless they were defending. She wasn’t the only defender, but she was the best in the flag room where people couldn’t see her, just as she couldn’t see them. It was to her advantage for people to try to attack her and then find that her defense not only protected her, but also did harm to assailants.

It was this logic that Codi immediately turned towards the stranger, and commanded Reef to swing one of its thick, bony arms at the threat. She doubted that if this person lacked night vision, they would have any indication except for the sound of the arm whirring through the air, moments before it connected; and even if it did not land a blow, a second followed close behind, at a lower angle. Codi sent yet another arm coming from the other side, for good measure. She had six of these arms, all with a very wide range around her, and when swung at full force, they could produce cracks or dents in stone or metal. Codi intended to use all of them, as she stepped forward right next to the flag, unsheathing syringe-like claws in her hands hidden under regular nails, and kneeling down so that it would be exceedingly dangerous to approach.

As the three blows connected, whether with a person, or with surrounding scenery, Codi opted against saying anything at all. Don’t give the intruder any hint as to where the blows came from.
