[color=SteelBlue]{Copy that, Fox. Stay in one piece down there.}[/color] Looking for a better vantage point, James begins to climb the seats to get up higher. While the position wasn't as unreachable as he would have liked, he would still be able to check his surroundings often enough that he could defend himself, not to mention Charger always had his back. As he climbed, Guile got back to him with orders for the group as a whole. They were to perform as much containment as elimination, and, despite it not sitting too well with the Nightstalker, eliminate any infected bystanders due to lack of a cure. Opening a channel to all those with some form of communication on them, James relays the information. [color=SteelBlue]{Just got word back from Guile. We're to contain this as well as eliminate it. We're also to put down anyone who's infected, we don't have a cure for it and I guess he doesn't want to risk an escape. The only reinforcements we're getting are checkpoints at all the subway entrances, no one else is coming in.}[/color]

Sliding into a prone position at the top of the arena, James holstered the Imago Loop and pulled the Stillpiercer off his back, scoping up on the guy in the robe in time to pick off a Gnorc that was sneaking up on him, shifting targets to try and help finish off the Egg-stealer just in time for it to slip free of the block man's grip and take off into the tunnels after the survivors. [color=SteelBlue][i]Shit...[/i][/color] He fired three more rounds into three different super Gnorcs, their heads becoming mush, before he replaced his sniper onto his back and stood, drawing the Imago Loop and leaping towards the subway tunnel the Egg-stealer had run down. Then the Gnasty Gnorc spoke up and James was forced to dive for cover as more spines flew through the air and while the Guardian was definitely vaccinated, he had no desire to test just how potent that vaccination was.

Now the Nightstalker was torn, because he didn't want to abandon the group fighting Gnasty Gnorc, but he also wasn't sure he wanted to leave the unvaccinated heroes to deal with the Egg-stealer on the off chance that it was also infected. Then he had an idea, even as he spotted what the surviving Gnorcs had become. [color=LightCoral]"Oh dear, you're going to do it again, aren't you?"[/color] James smiled at his partner's foresight, since this wasn't the first time he'd been faced with a choice similar to this.

[color=SteelBlue]"Damn straight."[/color] Summoning a Voidwall Grenade, he tosses it at the four abominations that were previously Gnorcs, knowing that the Void flames would be little more than a time buyer. Holstering the hand cannon, he draws the Stillpiercer and looks around the corner of his cover as he scopes up. Taking a moment to aim, he finds his target, Gnasty Gnorcs left eye, and fires before quickly ducking back behind cover. Replacing his rifle on his back, he draws his hand cannon again and sprints for the tunnel, grabbing the block man and dragging him along as he darts from cover piece to cover piece. [color=SteelBlue]{Fox, I'm heading into the tunnels, where that blue robed freak went. I don't know if it's been infected or not, but we can't risk it. Holler if you need my help.}[/color]

Eventually reaching the tunnel, he gets inside just in time to witness the survivors panicking and running down the tunnel, threatening to run the purple haired girl and the robed guy down. [color=SteelBlue]"Alright, block man, you stay here, keep panicking people from going back into that arena. It's REAL dangerous for those without a vaccination to be in there, and I don't want to have to shoot an infected civilian."[/color] Spotting the grin and glowing eyes, James takes aim and fires three shots at where he thinks the body would be in relation before calling out to the other two. [color=SteelBlue]"You two! Keep moving the survivors away! I'll deal with the laughing jack ass here!"[/color]
