"Andoran," began Iris, "These are what Petra wanted us to investigate."

"Great, Fallen zombies and corrupted ether," replied Andoran as he readied his Telesto to fire on the incoming Scorn. Two bursts from the fusion rifle and six stalkers were already dead. 

"You two," he said to the other guardians. "Get up on the wreckage, I'll lay down a rift." He blinked on top of the wreckage and with a wave of his hand, light poured out from him and onto the crashed ship, illuminating a circle. He left off two more blasts from his Telesto into the wave of oncoming Scorn. He switched to a scout rifle, not bothering to reload.
