"All the more reason to survive this." Felix smirked masking the desperation of the situation with a bit of flirting. He ran, easily keeping up with Eve. It seemed she was well above even career athletes, but Felix had his cybernetics. Of course, that wouldn't be enough to get away from this thing. It was certainly faster than either of them, though perhaps not quite as maneuverable.

"How do you expect to do that!?" He shouted back, briefly considering splitting up. That way, it'd be a fifty percent chance that the creature would chase Eve instead...Then again, she was easily the closest thing he had to an ally at this point even if it had literally only been for a minute or two. "Wait, I've got an idea!"

In an attempt to lose the monster, Felix primed a flashbang grenade and tossed it back. The beast slowed down slightly to investigate the object.

"Cover your ears!" Felix shouted as he did exactly that. The bright flash and loud bang seemed to disorient the beast for a moment, causing it to stumble into a tree. In that time, the pair managed to gain some distance before it recovered. It didn't last long, however, as the beast continued the pursuit the moment it recovered. Had it not been for that momentary distraction, there was almost no doubt that they would have been caught.

The sound of gunfire caught Felix's attention. The smoke in that direction indicated another crashed block. "If we can't kill it, and we can't lose it, we'll have to make it someone else's problem!" Felix said shamelessly.

Well as luck would have it, Felix has a trick or two up his sleeve. Those flashbangs can do more than suppress prisoners.

Posted. Now the fun run begins.

Felix Dromas

Felix observed this stranger carefully, even if she wasn't a prisoner...Most of the guards weren't exactly great people. Everyone stationed on board the Alcatraz had essentially no chance of returning, so it was only normal that every soldier on board was either expendable or, like in Felix's case, in need of disposal. The ones locked in cells weren't the only prisoners on board that ship, everyone was stuck. Now though, they were stuck on a hostile planet away from the many comforts that even a prison vessel provided.

He was better off blindly trusting this woman than trying to face this planet alone. Even if he was shot in the back, it would be a much less grisly fate than he had seen on his way.

"That's fair, better to save the fun for-" Felix started before he heard what was easily one of the most terrible sounds he could imagine. It sounded like some hellish mix between a bear and one of those lizard monsters from old human movies. Drawing his hand cannon, he turned to fire at whatever made it.

The culprit was much more intimidating than Felix had hoped, the creature pushing through the trees covered in what could only be the blood and gore of prisoners. The beast sniffed the air for just a moment, its eyes settling on the two morsels in front of it. Before it could lunge forward, Felix's pistol hummed for a moment and fired a rail round directly into the monster's face. From the burst of blood and flesh from the beast's face, one might think the rail-powered round had a profound effect. Unfortunately, the only real response was a cry of rage and pain as the four armed monster grasped its face for just a moment before glaring back at the prey that had tried to fight it.

Felix was slightly distracted by the way the creature's flesh seemed to reform, covering the damage that the powerful shot had done. The monster's face had mended, and it was angry. It was clear that even a heavy weapon like his hand cannon wouldn't be able to put this thing down. Even if that thing wasn't healing itself, a rail-powered hand cannon didn't even pierce the bone.

"I'm gonna suggest we run. We run very fast, and we run very far." Felix said turning towards Eve as he backed up. "I don't know if we can outrun it, but I do know we don't have the firepower to handle it. Hope that offer's still open if we manage to stay in one piece."

Mass Effect AU (open)

Sounds like the best solution would be @dabombjk to get Kieran in there. It looks like we'll have to make @AquaAzura'so characters npcs until she reappears.

I'm sure Felix would fire at least one round into it. I mean, his hand cannon has a fair bit of stopping power. Of course, when that doesn't work he's going to book it.

Might be important to remember what's in the entry about the Ashra. It's not picky about what it eats, if Eve and Felix just happen to find some other prisoners...Well, let's just say the creature would go for the larger group.

@Rune_Alchemist

Probably the nigh unkillable four armed one. It'd be fun to have something we can't deal with. Running away could be a good time.

Err, well she would probably survive it, but I don't know if she could repair all of the damage. At the very least the area around the point of entry would be pretty screwed up.

@Rune_Alchemist

I'm thinking Eve and Felix may have a run-in with one of the more dangerous species. Good reason to get moving.

I'll probably get a post up tomorrow. It's gonna be a long trip to the Alcatraz.

Don't feel bad buddy.

I should probably mention that I've been considering a thing or two to officially even the odds between attuned and augmented. Mana dispersal devices...like a taser, but for magic. It'd be something that could be added to weapons, cuffs, that kind of thing.
