[h2][color=00aeef][b]Marrie Knight[/b][/color][/h2]

Sovereign, huh? Well, despite the somewhat pretentious codename, she seemed like a decent person. She didn't quite get a chance to reply before she had to go quiet to listen to the speech. Whoever was giving it was certainly a good orator. It wasn't all that dissimilar to a preacher of any of the one true gods that were out there, at least. Probably thought himself one of them, too. But wait, [i]purified the water?[/i] That really wasn't something she wanted to hear. 

When the [i]homeless[/i] started pouring out into view, though, Marrie blanched. The chance of innocent people getting hurt, or worse killed, was now much higher than she was comfortable with. As Sovereign stated the mostly obvious, Marrie ran her eyes over the "cultist" group. Something didn't seem quite right here. Didn't the speaker say his "appendage" was [i]white[/i]? Did he mean that literally or was she thinking too hard about this? She was roused from her deepening thoughts by Sovereign pointing out what was hopefully another (friendly) esper on a nearby roof. How had she not noticed her before? Her bad habits of overthinking and getting too distracted by her own thoughts only gave her further pause. The bad feeling in her gut was getting even worse, but she wasn't going to let things go to shit this time. 

Sovereign seemed to be letting her make the decision on an approach. The sight of her firearm reassured her a bit. Being a mostly melee-focused fighter herself, having a ranged esper there was good. Marrie took a deep breath, squared her shoulders, and did her best to focus.

[color=00aeef]"If you don't know the person on the roof, that makes two of us. Since they haven't attacked us, I just hope they're friendly."[/color] She glanced at the semi and back to Sovereign as she pulled Apexer Predator out of her sleeve, letting some of its mostly contracted chain dangle next to it. [color=00aeef]"If you're not for stealth, that's fine, but you have a range advantage on me. I do have an idea though. If I mess it up, I'm screwed, so some cover fire would be great. Just please try not to kill anyone if you can avoid it."[/color] 

With that said, Marrie began to cast a melody, aimed about 150 feet (45.7 meters) in front of the truck's path. With any luck, she wouldn't get instantly run over.

This stupid idea was a huge risk, but if someone was going to get hurt, better her than anyone else.
