Inside the room the drone whirls about looking for a target, it locks it's sights on Nicol once again and lets loose.

Re: Chapter 1: Greener Pastures
Grzag leaps forward and takes a swing towards the guard his punch landing square on the guard's face, however his shield holds the punch effectively, leaving Grzag exposed in front of the guard. The engineer takes out his pistol and aims it towards the now exposed Grzag, he opens fire letting out two shots, both of which hit Grzag on the flank, luckily for Grzaghis shield just barely manages to hold on.

Bata'Vek aims to back up Grzag, working as a team rather than a gaggle of fools. He turns to the engineer trying to take down his buddy, focusing his and his drone's attacks on the man.

Re: Chapter 1: Greener Pastures
Bata takes aim and fires upon the engineer, his shot missing and ringing off the hallway walls, his drone whirls back towards the it's enemy counterpart, it shoots an electric beam towards the enemy's drone and hits it square in the middle. The enemy drone takes the hit and gets pushed backwards a couple of feet, before regaining it's power and moving on.
Kaester peeks from behind cover and fires a shot from his shotgun. The guard's body, falls to the ground in a bloody heap.

"Damn that drone."
Nicol levels his rifle again at the enemy drone, keen on taking them out over men. He fires at it and shouts, "Put down your weapons and no one else needs to get hurt here! We aren't here to harm anyone!" He's trying to give them a chance.

Nicol steadies his aim and fires on the drone, the shot hits it right in it's center of mass and sends it spiraling down as a tiny explosion destroys what remained of the drone.

Re: Chapter 1: Greener Pastures
As the guards dwindle in number the engineer and remaining guard attempt to fall back towards the back of the barge, as they do they get caught in an mass effect field created by Scarr and both are flung towards the bulkhead, they hit the wall hard and fall unconscious, Alex moves out to gather the pair and restrains them, while Kaester surveys the damage, and shakes his head. "We are going to pay dearly for this bloodshed." He says to no one in particular. The barge's alarm still blares loudly and emergency lights flash. Bata'Vek receives a communication alert on his omni tool, the rest of the guards are trying to broadcast a message.

"Shit shit shit, they're trying to get the word out about the alarm. I'll do what I can, but I can't promise anything." The Quarian gets to business on the console trying to jam any outgoing messages.

Re: Chapter 1: Greener Pastures
"Hey I told you not to kill anyone." Nicol moves to the guards and takes any keycards or security devices off them. "We need to get our target and get out of here at once. Bata'Vek jam that signal, the rest of you follow me. Bata, join us when you are done." As an after thought he turns to the group, "Anyone want to prep the ship for departure."

Re: Chapter 1: Greener Pastures
Aliens. Bloodied, Grzag joins Nicol with only two steps, shouldering his hammer as he does. Scratching noises in his head berate him for hiding it up his own ass and not swinging it sooner. "It'll look more convincing now," he says, watching Kaester in his expansive peripheral view. "They won't hold back anymore, we can't either!"

Re: Chapter 1: Greener Pastures
Bata'Vek types furiously on the keyboard, an alert sounds off from the system, and suddenly everything shuts off, the blaring alarm dies down, the lights turn off and so does the artificial gravity, in order to prevent the communication system from sending the S.O.S Bata'Vek had to overload the barge's electrical system triggering a shut down.
Kaester looks at the hulking Krogan, "I don't think they will be all that effective now." Kaester, looks at the rest of the crew floating in place ad says "I can get the ship ready, I'll take Alex and Scarr with me to help me get things ready while you retrieve our prisoner." Alex and Scarr both follow Kaester out of the office and make their way up the stairs into the ship.
Bata'Vek, Nicol and Grzag reload their weapons and ready themselves to move forward with the retrieval.
