Divine Intervention
When: Immediately after Rosette blew Castillo away
Who: A few people
Where: Supply Field C
Davie trained the cross hairs of the scope on
Cassandra as she was holding a detonator for the explosive collar Rufus
had around his neck.
<Snip>
The combustion of the cordite propellant igniting in the chamber of the
pistol, creating the raw kinetic energy to fire the small metal hollow
point slug faster than the speed of sound caught them all by surprise,
even to a degree Rosette, who fell to her knees as she pulled the
trigger. The bang echoed around the empty supply field and the soft,
wet crunching thwip as the bullet struck home, dead on target between
Castillo's eyes.
<End Snip>
Davie heard the sharp crack of the pistol firing, and
instantly pulled the trigger of his rifle, intending to shoot down
Cassandra, but as his trigger clicked backwards, the entire magzine of
the plasma rifle sparked and detonated into a small green explosion.
"Argh!!" and he dropped the rifle to the floor of the vent as his
exoskeleton's hardlight shield sparked and fizzed . He looked back out
through the grate to see Amber firing her gun wildly around the field.
He looked to see what had become of Rufus, only to find his body
missing, and Cass, stunned, staring at a small red puddle on the floor
where he stood. He saw Castillo's body laying lifeless nearby, and he
turned to head back to control room.
