<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Careful! Don't let them- no!

*My gaze goes down to a Nightwatch gangster brandishing a rocket launcher and pointing it at the vehicle. Before he can fire, however, I shoot him in the head and the resulting shot goes wide, demolishing a storefront.*

*I then jump down and land atop the roof, crawling down towards the rear doors only to see that not only are they triple-locked, but I have just exposed myself to the truck behind's line of fire.*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Narrows my eyes and turns my head, using my pistol to take shots at the truck behind, with the goal of either taking the gunmen out or providing covering fire in the process*
Careful, partner.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*I look at the lock to see that it's using a cypher I know nothing of, then shout a curse that is lost in the wind, knowing that I cannot breach the door.*

No, no! NO!

*Just as I begin to despair, a dark silhouette leaps from a nearby rooftop and grabs onto the rear railing of the vehicle in one fluid motion.*

Katerina: Privetstviya, comrade.

*She waves a hand at me, gesturing for me to move.*

Let me do my work, silly man.

*With effortless precision, she hacks into and unlocks the door.*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

That speed is impressive. Saves me having to rip the car apart too.
*Pulls back out my second pistol and maintains covering fire against the opposing vehicles as best I can*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Katerina: And you didn't even set an ambush?

*She turns, drawing her sniper rifle and firing a .50 anti-tank round directly into the engine of the truck behind. It swerves out of control and strikes a second building.*

Katerina: You're getting complacent, Alexei.

I know, I know.

*I look down in shame as I open the door. Due to this, I don't immediately see what Katerina gasps at. I look up to see that Alexandria is gone, in her place a shimmering purple field.*

Oh, blyat.

*The truck detonates in a purple flash, sending both Katerina and I flying. I grab her in midair and turn so that my armor absorbs most of the fall, feeling a rib give way in the process.*

Leon, you need to get away now.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I’m about to sacrifice equipment to pull this off.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Of course. Really, I was pulling them closer to get a good look. If they really were enemy, then I would have them shot into the heart of the storm faster than a man-hunt spills blood.

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Is sent flying by the explosion as well, crashing into the wall of a building not far from you two, then I falls to the ground groaning*
I wish I knew that was coming...
*Pushes myself to my feet*
We all need to get away.
*I run to you to, offering a hand to help you to your feet*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I question that decision.

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

That’s one way to get rid of an adversary.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Katerina and I have to stay. We're the only ones she'll listen to.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Me too.
*Places my hand through a floating device at the center of the floating array, then clenches my fist and shoves forward, launching the rest of the devices and the projected barrier into the storm itself*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

I'm more resilient than I look. I came here to scout things out, not to kill anyone, but I'll be darned if I just let a child get taken like that.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You shouldn't throw away your technology.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I mean, I would bring my Vampyrs, but there's not enough of them to push the storm back permanently.

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Then this is going to be a sacrifice regardless.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

No. She's the danger now, and if you stay here, it'll only get worse!

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Then this is going to be a sacrifice regardless.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I don't use the suit to control the barrier, but that's besides the point. I will not let Melody perish.
*The storm slowly begins to grow less and less dense, its effects weakening*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

It might be a worthwhile sacrifice.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Screw that. We're winning with her around.
*The storm continues to weaken*
