A quick affirmative and Yalu was in line with Ryker. He strode forward with his needle rifle down and to one side. With any luck, the engagement would finish rapidly after it started.

Yalu had to perform some mental unit conversion in his head to give Ryker an answer. [colour=ff4d27]"21 metres during combat. Until then, Tar is the huntress here."[/colour] He did not elaborate. [colour=ff4d27]"Grikgar, signal ten seconds before detonation. We will ready weapons and shields as late as we can."[/colour]

It was tempting for Yalu to take off his helmet to see further past the storm cover. Every second leading up to the clash was making him more tense. Until then, more climbing, more stalking.
