[ shield, fine. alarm, also fine. he sets his sights on the leftmost target, no longer speaking down the ECHO but leaving it on, and pulls the trigger once—the target reels as his shield is broken—and then twice, blowing his head into chunks.
zero tracks the second target's movements with his rifle and fires, but he's moving quickly, already hidden behind the corner of the building, which is unfortunately where the alarm is. he manages to clip the shoulder, but it's not enough to stop the guy from setting off the alarm. bandits and their hair-trigger reflexes are just so troublesome. the actual goal is somewhere inside the compound, and with the group now on high alert, reaching it will take forward motion.
zero doesn't bother trying again, just slings the rifle over his back before going on the move. he trots down the slope, towards the cliff where rhys is hiding, as bells and alarms start to blare in the bandit compound. ]
Time's up. We move in, or lose the fox in their den. [ he comes to a stop by rhys, turning off the comm system as he does to speak to him directly. ] Ready for the hunt?
