The turret firing off a massive beam gave the cyborg hope that at least one more of the guards had been taken care of, possibly two, but the light of the energy made it hard to verify. That left only one target easily visible, the airborn catgirl throwing wind at them. Seeing as Scout had been down by this nuisance earlier and Alicia had already been pegged by a sniper round that the mechanical girl knew from personal experience hurt a lot more than it should. Penny opted to act as moving barricade looking to intercept any incoming attacks while she waited for another Gauss charge to become ready. [color=9e0039][b][u]“Don’t be afraid to me as a shield if you need to, I can tank the hits easily and I’ll heal faster than you” [/u][/b][/color]Penny nearly growled out as she kept her eyes on their current target, while also trying to keep an eye out for any other potentially incoming attacks. Her hands keep flexing in to half claws in irritation as she vastly preferred close quarters combat, but knew that it would be unlikely that she would get her wish to beat one of the opponents bloody any time soon. Part of her wished she had went with the infiltration team, feeling that she would be of more use there as she had a rather limited ranged combat capability but another part vastly preferred to be here helping out Alicia as at the very least she knew she could trust the light user.
