"Stick close," Zed mutters, as he leads the way down the hallway.

"No damn cover here at all," he continues. "Asses hanging right out in the open."

"Thank you, Suzi," Ryan says quietly. He's testing the air as he moves, hugging the wall, but keeping his body at an angle that provides Suzi with cover. The safety on the Deatomizer is off and he keeps it pointed up for the most part. The shield generator is also on, so there's also that to think about.

He knows where they're going. He memorized the layout of this place, more so that he knows where Suzi will be if she hides. He's not in charge, though. Today he's just a soldier and he moves like one, if a shade more predatory than most.

Suzi's fear scent is affecting him.
