Fortunately, she had been able to blast free of the roots ensnaring her legs, but even if she retreated out the nearby door, that still left the rest of her team at the mercy of a hoard of belligerent brawlers, to say nothing of the schoolgirls Finn had wanted them to protect. Ashley couldn’t make out their, or Estelle’s, current condition amidst the chaotic scrum, but she [i]could[/i] see that Finn was in a rather perilous situation that demanded swift action, action Director Moller had just given approval for. Yet, as the director had [i]also[/i] stated, she couldn’t really begin a counteroffensive until the schoolgirls were out of harm’s way, quite the predicament, to be sure.

Yet, despite the strangeness of their appearance, and of MDP’s voice, Ashley would take whatever help she could get, especially if all it required was an open window. Turning slightly, she snapped off a quick energy blast from her techno-wand, aiming the shot at the nearest window, and angling it to shoot on an upwards trajectory, so that if it managed to shatter the glass and still maintain its potency, it wouldn’t hit anyone who might be outside. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Window’s open!”[/color] the Knight of Tomorrow called over her headset, as if the sight and sound of the glass shattering apart didn’t make that fact painfully obvious. Refreshing her form-fitting protective energy field, the high-tech heroine braced herself for another round of attacks, hoping that, with MDP’s help, it would be the [i]last[/i] one… [hr] [center]18 | Female | GEMINI | Vision of Tomorrow Implements of Tomorrow | Wand, Shield | Arcane | Tune of Tomorrow Raiment of Tomorrow | Stride of Tomorrow Light of Tomorrow | Light | Power of Tomorrow PRO-TEK 4000 Defensive Surgery Implement | Kevlar Coat, Kevlar Padding, Medical Supplies, Tazer, Clip Light [Reveal (2), Purity (4)], Damage (2), Damage X (6), Shield (4), Reflect (4), Heal (6), Major Heal (18), AoE (2), Powerful (0), Piercing (2), Purify (6), Homing (2), Avoid (2) DAMAGE: B | SPEED: E | SENTINEL: C | 1000 [Silver Self][Shield] = -48 mana PHYSICAL: E | ARCANE: C | CHAOS: B | 856[/center]
