First Breath of November

[bi_otic]

Who: First Breath crew
Broadcast: Not unless specified
Action: SS First Breath and Lato'li surface
When: Month of November

[The Vieziri may be on the offensive, but they have their hands full with the crew of the First Breath. The ship has been outfitted inside and out for a fight and the crew themselves aren't to be taken lightly either. The first order of business is repelling the boarding attempts, then rescuing the members of their marooned on the planet below, and finally re-joining the fleet for the attack on the Warlord's ship.

And when the dust settles...?

Who knows.]

[Wing it. That's fine. He takes a breath and nods.

Prompto listens to their options, lips pressed together and eyes moving, gun at the ready. He can focus when he needs to.

He doesn't like the idea of Kaidan taking a few hits, even if his barrier could handle it. But Prompto doesn't wear armor. And he knows where his skills lie.]

I'm not a leader. Always been better at support. But my aim is good. I can keep them off you.

[He smile, but it's not with a lot of humor. Hard to, in this kind of situation. The only mildly funny part is that in a lot of ways he still feels the same about himself. Better at being the support and not the leader. Except he's fallen into the role more often in the last few years. Sometimes he forgets that's the case. The mantle of leader feels strange of his shoulders.]

Works for me. Don't worry, alright. Just pick your targets.

[He nods to Prompto, the sign that he's about to move.

Being the bait. This is fine...

Kaidan round the tree and starts moving. Not a run, this time, but a steady, quick pace with his rifle held at the ready as he scans the trees. It's all very close-feeling, but he ignore the hair standing up at the back of his neck. Let the Vieziri think he's overconfident. Hopefully that's not actually the case.

It takes a few minutes, the tension cut only the distant sound of gunfire. Other battles happening elsewhere. But they have to focus on this one.

And then it happens. The trees barely rustle before the first bolt fires. One hits Kaidan on the shoulder, his barrier blossoming with light for a moment, the other missing and exploding into the tree near his head. They're on both sides of him and slightly forward, their lines of fire crossing with Kaidan at the center, three or four in each group from what they can see. He dives forward to try and escape.]

[He's out of his element, but he can do this. He's been cast out of his comfort zone before. He's fought without Ignis' plans, and Gladio plowing into everything in sight, and Noctis ... plowing into everything in sight.

Gun is loaded. He's got another waiting in the armiger. It won't even take a second to switch them out.

He watches Kaidan move out, sees the first hit and winces. He can see they're coming from both sides. Prompto sees that one pokes around a tree to fire every couple of seconds, so he waits it out, lines up a headshot. He doesn't wait to watch it fall before he's skirting to the left to circle behind the grouping there. If he can take out one or two before they realize he's there, he might survive this.]
