Casar, who had only recently put down the soldier that he'd tackled (at the cost of a few blows to his head from the frantic guard), jerked away from his spot on the ground and shot to his feet. The Saur, actually wanting a challenge rather than simply resolving to kill his enemy, allowed them to draw their weapons. His menacing rows of teeth contorted into a perverted grin as he'd imagined himself - knowing that he would - tear them apart as he had promised. After all, they were weaklings. A sniper and a slippery squid. Then, before the barrel of Cas' gun could fully raise, he tackled the both of them at once.
First, the massive Sair blocked the doorway, preventing escape from either of them. Then, he charged headfirst into Casar, who had in turn been in front of Nyx, sending them both to the floor. In that instant, the situation went from hopeful to nearly hopeless, because as much as they didn't want to accept it, he was right. The only one that had stopped the Saur from tearing the entire team apart was Jagar.
"Come on. Put up a fight!" He roared, drawing a skinning blade from his hip, used for disemboweling large Niselan wildlife. "I'm gonna cut weakling heads off ... show them to Vekht when I kill him too. Give the Vekht - Jagar - a lesson in family." He chuckled, menacingly.
Then, Casar shot up at him, hand grabbing magnetically for his blade. It wasn't the most tactical of decisions, but most of his tactics did come from a long range, after all.
...
"Shut up, Jagar." Imille said, meanly. "You should know by now that I do whatever the hell I want."
Before they could progress, Imille noticed the mechanical beasts from earlier descending upon the fallen Atlas crew. She held a hand up and hissed a "Stop!", because it was entirely possible that their jaunt through the portal had rendered them temporarily unnoticed. The scene that unfolded before them was gruesome, even for the hunter, who had made some particularly nasty scenes himself in the past.
The blood-curdling scream of a female Atlas scientist joined the cacophony of the robots waking up. At ground level, she was one of few who had survived the fall. Desperately, the human scientist dragged herself along the black hex floor, barely able to maintain grip with her hands, and her broken body being dragged behind. She was converged on by a beast, who much like beforehand, sharpened its limb into a point. It jammed the limb through her back and through the hex floor beneath. Then, its core began charging a laser blast. The doctor looked away, haunted still by the screams of the scientist. Then, silence.
She cowered against Jagar, uttering some particularly frightened noises herself. Her hands pressed into the wound in the center of his chest, attempting to stop the blood flow. "Go - go slowly, until we're seen ..." She said. "Then we run. I know that we can make it, and maybe... maybe, looking at this material - maybe they're too heavy to float." She hoped, her hand still tightly gripping the handle of her rifle. "Jagar - if I don't make it, leave me behind. Fuck your honor, I can't - I can't keep dragging you all down."
