Shepard: ****, ****, ****, ****, ****!
*Shepard is on the floor, his back pressed to a shipping crate. His forehead is bloody, he's sweating, and his face a mask of pain and rage. Hitting the release with the edge of his hand, he repeats the thermal clip from his handgun. The all-familiar sound of fired mass accelerators fills the air. Several slugs hit the back of his crate, but don't make it through.*
Shepard *shouting*: You alright, Tali?
*There's no answer*
Shepard: ****ing answer me, Tali! You okay?
*The discharge of a Geth Plasma Shotgun thunders the storage hall, shattering a shipping crate*
Shepard: Alright then.
*Shepard screws the high caliber barrel on and sets on the scope. Another Shotgun blast is followed by a painful grunt, indicating it hit something alive and now very much in pain. Shepard gets into a covering position, lifts the gun to his face and takes a deep breath. Then he aims around the crate. The Quarian on the other side of the room sees him and turns his assault rifle around. The thud of the handgun is distinctive, as is the crash as the projectile shatters the visor of the envirosuit. Tilting the head back, the Quarian falls limply to the ground.*
Tali *from somewhere in the room*: Bosh'tet!
Shepard *shouting back*: But he was shooting at me!
Tali: No! I meant him!
Shepard: Oh...alright!
*Shepard moves along the crate's side and leaves cover. Sprinting though the obstacles of containers, he finally ducks behind the same shipment as Tali is. Reloading her shotgun, the Quarian gives him a quick look*
Tali: You're bleeding!
Shepard: What? Oh. Forget it. It's from the headbutt.
Tali: ****ing bosh'tets!
*Tali presses the loading button of the shotgun until the barrel glows blue, then aims around the corner. The thundering of the discharge is deafening, as a crate including the human behind it are spread across the floor*
Shepard *softly*: I love it when you're angry.
Tali *reloading*: What?
Shepard: Nothing.
*Now Shepard aims around the corner, but only spies a Quarian ducking away behind a crate. Activating his barrier, Shepard sprints from cover, rolls before the gab and aims kneeling. Surprised, the Quarian can't even get his gun up before his visor sprays red from the inside and he falls backwards.*
Shepard *ducking behind the crate he was aiming past*: Got another one.
Tali: Two more!
Shepard: Gotcha.
*The blue glow around him still holds up, as Shepard moves along the edge. Footsteps are heard, running*
Shepard: ****. Runners!
*Both Shepard and Tali waste no time, leaving their covers and sprinting towards the footsteps. After a few meters, they reach the clearance before the back entrance. A Quarian is nearly at the metal door, as a human is following him. Shepard goes into weaver stance, aims and fires. The Quarian falls down, screaming in pain. Surprised, the human turns and lifts his assault rifle. The concentrated discharge of Talis shotgun splits his combat suit and his chest open. With a last grunt, he sacks to the ground.*
*Shepard gets up, still weaving his gun at the Quarian, who has grabbed his right knee where a constant flow of blood is covering the floor. Both Shepard and Tali carefully advance*
Tali *shouting*: Put your hands where I can see them! Do it!
*The Quarian turns his head towards them. Shepard stops, as the injured lifts his other hand from under his body. With a familiar beeping, the grenade is readied.*
*Shepard swirls around. His push hits Tali straight in the chest, knocking her back. The blast of the grenade sends Shepard flying over her as the barrier shatters with a sizzling noise. He hits the ground hard.*
Tali *on the ground, grasping the floor*: Shepard!
*Tali was halfway to the floor when the blast came. Most of the force and shrapnel missed her. Struggling, she gets up, holding her head*
Tali: Shepard?
*looking around, she sees Shepard behind her, face down on the floor*
Tali: SHEPARD!
*rushing to her side, Tali throws the shotgun to the floor*
Tali *grasping his shoulders*: Shepard! Say something!
*She kneels on the floor next to him, shaking him*
Tali: Shepard! Come on, Shepard!
*quickly she opens her omnitool and scans the man. Then she opens a com channel*
Tali: This is Inspector Zorah! A medic to Storage B. Quickly!
Com: Yes, ma'am.
Tali *holding him*: Shepard. It'll be okay. You'll be okay. You have to. Shepard...
