((Ooc: You planning to encounter Shepard on your way to us?))
"I don't like needing to be rescued." Jack shouted over the gunfire. "Believe me, I know the feeling." Jessica replied, ejecting the SMGs thermal clip and slamming another in its place. The floor shook. "What the Hell was that?!" Jessica called, watching the Cerberus soldier she'd just shot dissolve in flames, screaming as he died. That fate was meant for us. "Trouble..." Jack replied, doubling the strength of her barrier around the students. Something big was coming their way.

Kothar stopped while walking along one of the corridors; he had been following the sounds of gunfire but there was something new. He could feel the ground vibrating underfoot and what sounded like something big moving not too far away from where he was.

"That's not a mech..." Jack said slowly, as she watched the thing stomp in. "Might as well be..." Jessica replied. The huge metal suit placed its feet solidly on the floor and aimed one of its arms at them. "Oh, that's not good..." Jessica said, looking worriedly at Jack. "Everyone get down!" Jack shouted as the man in the suit pressed a button and a rocket launched itself at them.

Kothar rounded a corner then suddenly ducked back behind it. There was a lot of Cerberus soldiers getting ready outside a room. Kothar poked his head out of his hiding place and started trying to count how many there were. By the looks of it there was at least ten soldiers armed with assault rifles, five snipers, five soldiers with shotguns and three armed with SMGs but they were also glowing faintly blue. The doors they were stood next to were wide open but they weren't going through them.

The explosion was deafening. When the smoke cleared black soot covered the balcony Jessica, Jack and the students were on. Jessica opened her eyes slowly, blinking. She was alright. Somehow she was alright. Her arms were up defensively and a blue bubble glowed around her. Each of the students had done the same. Jack was standing in the middle of them all. As Jessica let her barrier drop she realised there was a larger one covering all of them. Jack sunk to the floor from the effort and her barrier around the group faded. "They're not gonna like that" she grinned at Jessica. Jessica smiled back. "No, they're not." She slammed a thermal clip into her gun and aimed through a gap in the balcony panelling.

Kothar's ears were ringing slightly from the explosion that had just occurred. He had no time and not enough resources to formulate an ingenious scheme. He checked the thermal clip in the shotgun. "Looks like I'm going to have to do something stupid instead" He muttered. He drew a pistol and aimed one handed towards the Cerberus soldiers and started firing wildly. Most of them took cover except for the three biotics who threw up shields to protect themselves.

"What's going on out there?" One of the students asked. "What do you think, dumbass?" Jack retorted. "Didn't you once tell me you could rip a mech in half?" Jessica asked "That would be useful about now." "You've got a gun, shoot the damn thing!" "Because I'm really going to be able to shoot through that glass!"

Kothar stopped firing, hoping that would lure at least a couple of the Cerberus soldiers out of hiding. He risked another look but nobody was moving towards him. "Cerberus are nothing but a bunch of..." Kothar proceeded to yell several choice swear words which would have gotten him a telling off from Jessica if she had heard him use them.

"Hang on, I know that voice." Jessica paused suddenly. "Oh, we are going to have words." "I d'no, kinda worked for me." Jack grinned. Jessica shook her head and turned her attention back to the manned mech just in time to see it start sparking. Something was going wrong with the tech, and the operator inside looked as confused as she was. Before the man could climb out or regain control, the huge metal suit exploaded, sending shrapnel flying all over the room. "Well that was new..." Jack said as bits of metal ricocheted off the barrier she'd put up. Jessica nodded her head, a little shell shocked.

The loud explosion caught Kothar and the Cerberus soldiers by surprise. The soldiers clustered at the door to the room and charged in. Kothar sprinted down the corridor to catch up to them all; he wasn't going to miss an opportunity to kill the people who had dared to threaten his girlfriend.
