Go time.

Shiva practically leaped up the rungs of the ladder and made it to her feet behind Shuo as he gunned down the last patroller. The bright flash that Rareth's fusion grenade made was more than enough of a diversion to execute her own plan. Drawing her weapong, she sprinted to the cover she had seen; a piller with an adjacent crate. Once under fire from Shuo, the last group dove for cover, but were still slightly out of position in relation to Shiva. Pick a target, pull the trigger. Shiva aligned her scope with another tempu enemy and her Rebuffer near-instantly began to launch bolt after bolt of hot plasma into his side. The shock of the fire caused the man to stagger, but the shield he had equipped wasn't enough to withstand sustained fire and he suffered shots to the throat, chest and shoulder. He died before any noise could come through his radio.

Shiva obscured herself further and fired at the others without looking fully in their direction so as to suppress them. By her count there were only three left, and they were surrounded from three angles and counting. Once the initial retaliatory barrage seemed to wane, Shiva poked her head out and scanned down her scope for another target.
