	Torag stared Omega down for a second following his sass, hoping the deadpan expression beneath his hood would get the point across sufficiently.  He refocused on the current predicament by dragging the disabled Kan into cover and pulling it apart, attempting to salvage the thick, undamaged plates on the sides of the bots to use as shields and mobile cover.  After a moment of wedging the armor off, he passed one sheet to Tartys and one to Omega.  [color=gold]"Keep these angled towards their sniper, the armor on the Kan's is durable!"[/color]  With that he stood from his crouched position, kicking over another Kan that was attempting an advance and sending it tumbling out range, back towards the Machina forces.

	[color=gold]"I'm a liability while pinned, I'll move into the core to defend it from anything with half a mind to sneak by!"[/color]  While he thought it unlikely, he couldn't afford a black mark like losing a stronghold on his reputation.  Omega and Tartys would likely be able to hold the location, anyhow.  He nodded to the two and made his way into the volcano as the landscape started to rumble noticeably, signalling an eruption soon.  [color=gold]"Someone's here already... dwarves would never let this place fall."[/color]  He started to follow the most direct path to the volcano's core, in something of a rush to reach the location.  If that room fell to the Machina, they may as well take the battle right there.  Given his bulk and relative lack of agility, it would take him a while to reach his holding point.

	When his second bullet only grazed his target, Marquis let out a disgruntled noise.  He was slipping, based on those two shots, and decided to swap to a less aware target for the time being.  His plans changed, however, when a few bullets pinged the air craft near the sniper, effectively suppressing his dominance over the battlefield for a short moment.  He ducked into the cargo hold to avoid getting shot, taking a moment to watch the infiltration crew via his owl.  From what he could tell, they were getting very close to the core of Point Hephaestus, though seismic activity was going to start occurring.

	This just became a suicide mission for them, unless they found the teleporter in working condition.

	The AI poked back out after a moment, this time using the inner edge of the carrier as cover.  He scoped back in on the targets he had taken shots at, and squinted in search of the armored one that had tanked one of his bullets.  Unable to find that one, he opened a comm channel to both Hibiki and Shizuka.  [color=brown]"I've lost sight of durable unit.  I believe he's heading for your location, do not engage him directly.  Shrugged off a shot to the shoulder like it was a rock."[/color]  With the warning given, the robot decided on another target that had cost the Machina the victory in Ruthria; Henry Avaritia II.  He peered down the scope of Bindlebane yet again, aiming to blindside the demon lord and hit him through the temple.  Running the calculations as his heat sinks vented, he led his target a fair distance and accounted for the gravitational effect of the micro-black hole in the vicinity, along with the standard wind and velocity.  A short moment later, the trigger was pulled and a large bullet was flying for where Henry's head would be in a moment.  The bang was indistinguishable from the chaos enveloping the rest of the war-torn desert, and a projectile moving at such a speed wouldn't be noticed until it was too late.  The demon's one hope, given he realized the death chasing him down, would be to abandon his chase of Miyu and drastically change his course.
