Lauren found herself grateful for the fact that she had clung onto the tree as the hail of bullets from her P90 riddled the hive bug's chitin exoskeleton full of holes, as the sheer size and mass of the towering trunk of spruce had helped with curbing the recoil of her gun. Still, the recoil was still enough to send the tree gently spinning top to bottom like a carousel, and a tree that moves didn't make for much of an anchor. For now at least it didn't seem like any more hive bugs were going to be flying her way, her eyes getting a good look at her surroundings to find that the tree was starting to spiral towards a nasty looking field of debris. Worse still, it seemed that someone else had lost control of their spell, with the erupting lightshow sending a few stray beams of light her way as well. Without much time to think the familiar glow of her [color=f7941d][b][Holographic Great-Shield][/b][/color] formed at her side, quickly adjusting the parameters away from their default settings to form a bubble around herself before leaping off of the bark of the tree. With how hastily she had jumped away from the tree she had focused more on jumping towards the source of the spell, though she hoped that her protective barrier would keep her safe for the time being.

As she drifted towards some of the others falling down the hole with her Lauren briefly locked eyes with the person who had casted the spell, though her attention quickly shifted toward the rapidly approaching spikes down below. Stashing her gun under her coat for the time being she adjusted its strap and moved to grab hold of whoever was closest to her, the glow of her [color=f7941d][b][Holographic Great-Shield][/b][/color] reforming around her as she refreshed its durability and adjusted the parameters once more.
[color=f7941d][b]"Please refrain from such a lightshow next time, not all of us have the luxury of creating shields or barriers!"[/b][/color] Lauren yelled a warning to Aedri as her holographic projection took the form of a windglider, her hands getting a good grasp of its shimmering surface while she pressed her legs against the footbar in the back as best she could. Having used her shield as much as she has since that fateful day she was confident that this improvised solution would work, the wings of the windglider cutting through the air roaring around her as she used it to elegantly maneuver through the air to avoid the spikes.
