Ja'Far was slightly surprised at the VI's lack of reaction to his shot. He supposed that they were driven towards the firefight beyond them, the gunfire outside increasing in volume rapidly. It seemed as though that the distraction team were encountering quite heavy resistance, however he doubted that they would be slowed down any considerable amount. With multiple krogans and multiple vanguards, he would guess that the enemy will be quickly squashed under their combined might. He relaxed his grip on his rifle, keeping it at the ready as he watched the mechs march onwards, leaving the sparking scrap behind.
He had to admit, he was impressed with how this team ws currently functioning. Rayes'Xum has proved his worth in his hacking/tech skills, the lines of scripts and code were hard for him to follow even as someone who was versed in tech. He wasn't any sort of genius, he took a little too long in sabotaging and hacking than he''d like in the instantaneous moment to moment fights. In reality, unlike what most people believed fighting was like, it wasn't slow motion. It was fast paced, hard to keep up with and most combat situations will end swiftly. It weren't the long slog sieges that you would see in some sort of vid, only soldiers or the exceptionally talented could keep up with how fast it all was.
'This seems too easy.' The former Legionnaire peered suspiciously around the room, finger inching slowly to the trigger. As if almost on cue, a group of Cerberus soldiers ran into the room, weapons at the ready. Two FENRIR mechs launched towards the Turians and Rayes who was currently busy with hacking. Phalanx was quick on it's feet and deactivated the FENRIR launching at the Quarian before proceeding to pin the other mech. However, as he watched this all happen in a mere few seconds, he saw the round object currently hurtling towards him. Eyes widening in surprise, he raised his omni-tool arm to use incinerate on the blasted thing. Fortunately, the grenade was quickly deflected by the aforementioned Geth's own incinerate, making it explode mid air. He breathed a sigh of relief before swearing at himself.
It was unforgivable, to have been so slow in reacting. If it wasn't for Phalanx, Ja'Far might have incinerated much too close to his own position,t hus collapsing the balcony he was currently in. Reminding himself to thank the Geth later and to train much harder to shake off the rust, he prepped another shot. He flipped to three-round bursts, figuring that it would be more useful for these shielded opponents.
This, this was when the combat slowed down for him, when the Divine prayers were upon his lips. He slowed his breathing, peering through his scope once more as he zoomed in on the soldier nearest to Rayes as he fired on Anderson's position. His heartbeat slowed, his vision solely on the target in his sights. He inhaled, zooming on to the soldier's leg. The Incisor sung once more, two three-round bursts in quick succession, any jerking reduced by his shoulder as he exhaled. The first burst was deflected by the barrier, the fourth round piercing it as the other two hit home. Both shot through his thigh, causing the Dog to come down in pain. He visibly jerked and fell down, clutching his leg.
The marksman adjusted his aim to another trooper as he watched his comrade go down in pain and fired another two bursts at him, bringing him down as the soldier also clutched his thigh in pain. Fire was quickly directed at him and the boogeyman quickly took cover with his shields flickering slightly, searching for where he placed his clip. Although the Incisor had quite a large clip for a sniper rifle and a built in burst mode, it's firepower was severely lacking and he could only disable his opponents at this current point in time. Ejecting the heat cartridge, he continued to pray under his breath. "-the Pillar of Guidance who looks upon me. I prithee that thou give miń blessing upon my unholy eyes, I beg for thine salvation through fire-"
