Zypha looked at small marine with a bored expression, thought in reality she was sizing him up.  She also remembered that he had been the marine that had dashed away on the trail to alert the base.  He had been quite a quick little guy and the fact that he was wielding dual knives meant he was a fast and agile fighter.  

Knives could be very annoying as they were easy to move around with, quick on the defense, and easily became throwing knives at any moment.  Of course the downside of knives was they had little length and once thrown, unless one picked them up again could not be used again.  Against a quick opponent the pistol was not going to be of much use so she left it along and instead gripped her twin scythe.

[color=662d91]"Well if it isn't the brave one that ran to tell the others."[/color]  Zypha let her right scythe drop a bit, her hand now on the the attached chain and kept lowering it until it was just above ground level.  [color=662d91]"Splitting us up isn't the worst idea your captain could come up with but he is fighting in one of the other rooms right?"[/color]  She tilted her head to the right as she started to get her rights scythe in motion, starting to spin it around from her grip on the chain next to her.  

[color=662d91]"So, if he still has the remote on hand then really whoever wins that fight has control over the base, a bit stupid he didn't leave it with some flunky in the back.  As annoying as it is I guess our fight won't count for too much, ah well not like you'll be leaving with your head."[/color]  Zypha brought the circling scythe above her head for two spins while she edged closer to her opponent the let the scythe fly forward in an arc, aimed at the marine's neck.

If the scythe hit or missed the target Zypha was about to reel it back into a spin on her right side.  While it would be nice if the first attacked ended the fight it probably wouldn't so it would be up to Zypha to observe her opponent's reactions to come up with a plan of attack.  If the opponent was quick like she thought, the best way would be to figure out how best to trap her opponent and limit his movements but she needed to see him in action first.
