it had started out simple enough. though she wasn't banking on getting caught up dealing with a small hoarde of the glitched, she had help– if one could call it that. the commander knew dorothy as something of an old friend of snow's, and while the pink-haired nikke could be a pain in the ass, she was clearly a capable fighter and shepard wasn't one to turn down any sort of assistance. the sort of silent cooperation was working, too– reluctant as she was to pull the trigger, casualities were inevitable and the hoard was thinning.
and then every single glitch surrounding them vanished.
it wasn't silent. no, their screeching was still echoing around the two, but they couldn't be seen. she'd have thought it to be a new ability were it not for the short beep from her phone, followed by the Normandy's AI speaking into her comms.
commander, a modifier has been applied via your cellular device. please adjust your combat plan accordingly– hostile lifesigns are still converging on your area.
" Heads up!" she shouts towards the Nikke a few feet behind her on the battlefield as she arms herself with her pistol. " They've got–" but words are cut off as a glitch quickly flashes into view far too close to Shepard, causing her to curse as she jerks her body to the side. claws scrape against her armor, unable to pierce, and as she aims her gun on the spot where the glitched should be...........there was nothing. " Son of a bitch."
