[Open] Motherfucking cannibals on this motherfucking plane-- I mean ship

[padadin]

Who: The Blameless crew and whoever wants to help them fight the boarding cannibals
Broadcast: No
Action: Yes, on the Blameless
When: Some random day this week
Notes: Some threads may get a bit bloody, please warn accordingly

[The SS Blameless doesn't have a security augment - hell, it doesn't even have a security officer. Between that and having their engineer on the surface (which means the ship damage isn't completely repaired), the Blameless stands as one of the most vulnerable ships in the fleet right now.

So of course, it's the perfect target for the Vieziri to test the waters when it comes to boarding.

They're covered from head to toes in heavy armor, and they're pretty tough - but so it's this crew. And they aren't going down without a fight.

Bring it on.]

[The armor is getting incredibly annoying to deal with. These guys shouldn't be so hard to fight, Shiro should be able to take them down without so much fuzz... but that damn armor.]

Lance! [He shouts as he jumps into the fray, his arm hot and glowing.] I'll try to pierce their armor! Shoot as soon as I open a spot for you!

[A scream for a Vieziri puts the period on that sentence as Shiro's energy hand-blade cuts beyond metal and reaches skin as well. Quiznaking armor!]

[That damn armor is right. It's difficult to find just the right spots to shoot, weak points in their armor, little nooks and crannies that bullets can easily get through...

Shiro making those nooks for him, though, is an enormous help.]

Got it!

[As soon as Shiro draws his arm away, he fires at the gash left behind. The bullet flies into the Vieziri unhindered, and they crumple to the floor soon after.]

things are getting bloody in here

[padadin]

[Shiro can feel some burning in his chest - but it's not the physical kind, it's emotional. Because he's pretty sure that guy just fell dead and dammit, isn't the war at home enough? Does he have to drag these teenagers into killing here too?

But this isn't the time to think about that - there's a ship to defend. The Vieziri are changing into a more defensive stand too, aware now of what a combo the two Paladins make together. So they get together behind a shield to charge against Lance, and Shiro sees red.

There's no hesitation - his glowing hand reaches the guy at the front, breaking the armor but still going until it burns flesh and cuts arteries, blood making a mess all over his armor.

One less to go.]

oh noooooo

[It's jarring to see Shiro covered in blood like that, to put it mildly. They've fought against plenty of enemies, but rarely have they had to kill another living being up close like this.

It isn't fully sinking in yet, might not for a while. The killing he's already done in the past certainly isn't something he spends much conscious thought on. Right now, the only focus is to survive and to protect, and if that means firing a bullet into the neck of another Vieziri near them, then that's just what it is.]

[padadin]

[It's not a panic attack - not really. He's learned to channel those into fighting during his first days in Voltron. But seeing himself covered in blood definitely triggers some sort of episode, and Shiro goes all wild, his movements raw and desperate, the precise strikes of someone trying to survive.

Powerful punches and kicks send them back through the way they come when possible. When not? Then they don't survive the arm.]
