Miranda sprayed her submachine gun bullets at the mass of darkspawn coming towards her. She and Grunt were working together, watching each other's backs. Grunting, she pulled out the arc projector and fired it into a crowd of darkspawn. The ones hit by the electrical attack immediately twitched spasmodically and died. Then she saw the huge monster pushing its way through the sea of darkspawn. She followed the direction it was going with her eyes and spotted a man in golden armor: The king. She screamed into her radio, "Someone get that giant monster! He's headed for the king!" Then she warped a darkspawn that was trying to cleave her in half.
"Dibs!" Jack yelled into her radio as she barreled her way to the king. "He's mine!"
Jack came up behind the monster as it picked up the king. She was just about to shoot the bastard when its head exploded in a shower of dark red mist. She stared, dumbstruck for a moment. Then she cursed colorfully for all of the team to hear. "What the fuck! Which son of a bitch fucking took my kill? Own the fuck up. Who the fuck took my kill!"
"My apologies, Jack. I was afraid you would not make it in time so I took the shot," Thane's calm voice was a very discernible contrast to Jack's infuriated voice.
"Damn you, Krois! I'll get you next time!" Jack roared her frustration and sent a shockwave into a group of advancing darkspawn. "Anyone see another one of those things?"
"Forget it Jack, stay with the king," Garrus commanded.
"Aw, fine…Hey, king, get your ass up! I'm not going to do all the work here."
Duncan hurried over to the king. "Your Majesty, are you all right?"
"I'm fine, Duncan, get back to the battle."
Jack stared at Duncan for a moment. "Garrus, you had better not be about to say what I think you're going to say…"
Garrus chuckled. "Mordin, go help Jack look after Duncan."
"Understood, moving into position," Mordin answered promptly.
