"[color=00aeef][b]I CALLED OUT A PERFECTLY GOOD WARNING YOU A[/b],- ... huh.[/color]" Vella had initially intended to give Ellis a full retaliation across the radio at his outrageous accusation. However, she lost track of what she was supposed to say when she saw Ellis; for lack of better words; do his bloody work with the Cerberus operatives, before the smoke completely obscured him and she lost track of him.

[i]"[color=00aeef]Were we not supposed to like... incapacitate the enemy?[/color]"[/i]

Vella pondered for a moment, finding a rift between what Aegon had said, and what was actually happening. 

No matter! She was a soldier, she did as ordered by her superiors! Loyalty was one of the main fundamental tenets of the Lance of Light! It was what made the Division superior to all others in the face of overwhelming enemy fire or odds, and she was not about to break it, even if the command had been given by someone outside of the Division's leadership!

However, she suddenly snapped back to the battle as a new threat arose!

Cerberus had launched a coordinated volley of grenades at them. They were spread enough that Vella felt confident her defenses could handle one or two of them, but whether the structural integrity of the cave could hold them was another question entirely!
Her first instinct was to send them back at their senders, but that would conflict with both Aegon's no kill order, and have a good chance of actually killing Ellis!

[i]"[color=00aeef]I have to do this the hard way - no way around it![/color]"[/i]

As Rykarn was about to throw one of the Cerberus operatives ontop of one of the grenades, he would suddenly notice a blue tint surround it, as it began to buck and bop along the ground as it suddenly slithered between the Krogan's feet and flew off behind him! This was shortly followed by the rest of the grenades, as they were being hurtled by biotic force towards the middle of the room; their red lights blinking frantically as they rapidly neared detonation! However, as the grenades met in the center of the room, they would suddenly be encased in a stasis field - temporarily frozen in time in a white, opaque bubble.

"[color=00aeef]Erecting a Biotic Barrier, requesting biotic assistance![/color]" Vella radioed over the intercom as she had attached her rifle to her breastplate and turned all her attention towards the stasis field, preparing to erect a biotic barrier around it.

After a few seconds, the stasis would wear off. Vella doubted her barrier alone could fully stop the simultaneous explosion of more than half a dozen grenades, but as long as it could mitigate the destruction enough to prevent a cave-in, that was all she needed. Although she personally considered herself above any other would-be biotic in this party given her Asari heritage, she could not afford any chances with this, and so privately hoped some of the biotics in the squad would help. Barriers were one of the fundamental techniques taught in the division, and she knew well that they performed much better when reinforced by multiple biotics!
