Aura was, admittedly, surprised when the Marine stepped in front of her to cover her from the Orks. She was a Guardswoman and was, therefore, more than used to the idea of expendability. Therefore, the thought that a Space Marine was going out of his way to protect her was strange. However, she utilized this by using the large Marine as cover, as was no doubt his intention. She raised the Hotshot and swapped to single-shot fire, since only one was needed to drop an Ork. The Hotshot Lasgun could pierce through the armor of the proud Space Marines, an Ork and whatever plating it had managed to scavenge to cover it's skull was nothing to the powerful weapon.

Soon however, the Marine began to move, leaving Aura to maneuver on her own. She began to utilize fallen Orks as cover, and dodged charging Orks with thought and her much smaller body. With a rapid slide to the right, a Rampaging Ork charged right past her towards the Zeta Marine. She leveled her weapon to aid him, however, his enhanced reflexes proved more than sufficient when his weapon covered the beast in Promethium. She then focused on dropping the Orks who were smart enough to use full-blown shootas and not just Sluggas and Choppas. Her rifle, accurate and deadly, sent lasers lancing out which dropped the enemy quickly and capably. It was then that she became aware of the Zeta Marine looking around, so she called out "Sergeant Kalstov over here sir!" To punctuate, she gave a light jump, making her black carapace armor plates clatter together slightly, and making her wince slightly as her chest pushed against the plating. Damn the Inquisition's requisition board and their slightly-too-small armor.
