[b][i]Blue Crow (NPC)[/i][/b]

The wave of Underworld energy overwhelmed Blue Crow's Supernal Vision for a moment, and the bounty hunter and his Tayanen 'coat' instinctively dived behind a stack of empty crates, trying to buy time to turn off the magical senses which he had been relying on. 

A second later, the hyper-accelerated stun baton punched through his shield of force and the sonic boom split the air in the spot where he had once stood. If not for his mask and the Tayanen 'coat's' gelatinous bodies, he'd have been deafened. All right, enough playing around, enough sympathy for his opponents, no matter how deserved. [i]Time to get serious[/i]. 

From what he saw, Nero was the biggest threat, although the Matthews Twins were capable of taking him down by themselves if he didn't step up his game. But Blue Crow had not spent years in the underbelly of civilized society for nothing. As he adjusted to having normal sight again, the bounty hunter assessed his environment - An armory with empty crates, with only a few weapons left lying around. And his remaining assets that weren't his magical weapons were his damaged longcoat and under-armor and four Tayanen literally covering him.

Sending three of the gelatinous aliens sneaking off amidst the empty crates, Blue Crow leapt over the stack of crates before him, coated in the silicon-based slime of the remaining Tayanen, firing two 'Penetrating Nonfatal Shots' at to cover himself as he charged at Nero, slashing downward with a magically-blunted blade in a straight slash at the kid's shoulder. Without Supernal Vision to guide him, he didn't know if the latter was projecting a spell to rot him and his Tayanen covering, or what hazards directly attacking him would bring. 

Besides, Blue Crow didn't need to win -  He just had to survive long enough to draw the attention of all three members of the group, even as two of the Tayanen crept towards Samuel and Iris, crossing pipes of coolant, sliding through the gaps in crates, or even splitting into smaller slimes for a moment before reconverging into a pair of globs as large as an adult human and trying to engulf Samuel and Iris. The third Tayanen minion, meanwhile, was clinging to the [i]ceiling[/i], absorbing electricity from the remains of the power grid and water from the sprinklers so that if things went truly bad, it can literally rain down on the three Star Marines' metaphorical parade.
