"That seems harsh." Somebody may just have some anger issues. Better for me to keep my mouth shut about my past after all. Would hate to have to shoot her.
The sectoid continued to say "Friend, FRIEND!" in a panicked voice, knowing that it was probably going to die. It's red eyes, though alien, did show fear and terror, as it shuttered at the thought of it's limited time free being taken away by trying to help terrified him.
Medic watched idly.[hr]
Engineer finished the defenses.
First off, the EMP's, which would activate immidiately upon entry, then drop one by one as they entered. From there, a rocket launcher would blow up the entrances, locking them in. From there, if they tried to move foward, they would step into a line of bear-traps, that would lock pin them down.

"He's an ally that helped in combat and gave us important information. You are the one antagonising him." Samus said, glaring at her sternly like a disappointed teacher.
The cyborgs closed in, one opening the door and looking around as he stepped inside.

Having recuparated, the bug took a breath and stood up, picking up its bag, the bug moved to the edge of the grassy area, staying close to a half-ruined building, and peeking around. Saw plentiful of destroyed and abandoned buildings and cars, but no people, although it could smell them further away.
The first thing it needed to do, it figured, was found out what caused the destruction, interesting in learning of it. It briefly considdered searching out a bounty store, but then figured if the faceless person knew what had befallen Damascus, they would've told the bug when they spoke in Guinea. The thought that the destruction didn't happen after its and the figure's talk didn't really occur to it.
Moving towards the spot where it detected human scents coming from, the bug saw two civilians working to remove rubble, likely to free someone trapped underneath. Thinking either of them would do in gettin information, the bug moved to a building opposite them, and climbed onto the wall from the western side, entering the building through a hole in the wall.
One of the civilians looked to his right as the bug moved by, vaguely spotting it from his peripheral, but continued working, albeit with a more nervous body language.
On the second floor of the building, the bug moved to a broken window, set its bag down, and retrieved the Savage M10. After the usual fiddling with the rifle's grip, the bug took aim at the civillian to the left, and fired a shot aimed for the back of the head. Striking true, the bullet kicked up a small dust cloud and left a stain of blood on the rubble infront of the civillian as it went through the skull and imbedded in the stone.
As the now dead civilian fell forwards, the one that still lived screamed and after a moment's hesitation, fled. Having no need to kill the second civillian also, the bug laid down its rifle, and jumped through the window, flapping its wings to slow its descend, and safely touching down on the ground. Approaching its latest victim, the bug began devouring the body.

"You're going to kill it because it might be dangerous? Seems like you could feel that way about all of us." I reach into my coat near my guns. Don't know what I plan to do with 'em. Guess we'll have to see what happens next.
"Oh my god..." Sophia had said a bit teary eyed about finding out about this info, having to take a minute to simply mull over what it all meant given the gravity of the news that Shara was still alive. This only further going along with the already tension filled situation that they still needed to get through to even reach Shara, since they needed to get to the ship, and the information of Shara was needless to say ground breaking.
"Everyone just.... calm your tits or something... seriously." Sophia interjected, walking over to Victora and Sectoid.
"Alright! You." She pointed firmly at Sectoid. "You should have waited til we could actually do something about that. How on- Earth do you expect us to do anything about helping Shara here? Wait until we can get in the ship and go back for her alright!?"
She then turned to Victoria. "I understand the feeling, but you don't need to beat him over the head for it. Use your words, and then you can beat him over the head if need be." She explained before turning back to Sectoid.
"And further to what I just said with Victoria. Don't just barge into people's heads like that. Nobody likes people messing with personal things. So ask before you do that, alright? It will save you the next time from getting beat over the head for trying to help someone." She said as she rubbed her forehead.
'Now I have a headache...' She groaned before opening one eye to look at EMily. "Can we please try to get going now, or is there something still blocking the way for us?"

The trio of EMPs frazzled the cyborgs, all four of them shuddering and shaking as their systems rebooted.
Samus looked at Sophia, surprised by her sudden outburst. She was quiet for a second. "...I agree. As soon as we are clear here, we should try and head back and find Shara."

EMily snickered at Sophia's new language.
"Deftly handled there. In any case, I've felt traces of a powerful EMP from far away. Let's get to our engineer. I think I can pinpoint the location of the radio transmission he made." She held up Photon once again, displaying a map where it came from and also where they were. "It looks like we can still get there on foot."
