[ that's what you get for trying to pose like a badass, rhys. you get treated like one, whether you're ready or not. zero watches him scuttle down the slope, kicking up dust in his wake, and follows after a few seconds' delay at an easy lope. he keeps with the rifle even at this range, taking a few shots at the bandits poking their heads up out of the building.
when rhys is having his tug of war, he's still visible, running toward the gate control pad. a bandit vaults over the gate, shouting and firing towards zero, who jerks as if struck, then flickers and disappears.
the bandit struggling with rhys' baton stops moving just as suddenly when he finds a blade protruding through the front of his throat. zero, flickering back into sight, withdraws it and shakes blood off the glowing edge. ]
Pick up the shotgun. Murder's easier with one... [ a pause, before he turns to go back to the control pad. ] ...and you'll need to kill.
