"Avalance! " He yelled into the mic. Everyone get inside now!" But he saw the side of the mountain where the first shuttle had struck begin to slide directly in the path of Tali and Shar's little ledge. From this distance he knew it was too fast for them to get back under cover.
"Aaaeeeeeiiiii!" He heard Tali yell as they began to run toward the safety of the tunnels but a flash of blue down the side of the mountain from higher up the cliffside caught his eye.
"Oh no." He whispered but he knew who was the only Asari crazy enough to biotically ski down a mountain but even then she couldn't outrace the snow.
"Plava abort! Have the team support the tunnels. We wil…." Hell he didn't know what exactly, everything was happening to fast.
" Too far. A little. ." Her reply came through gritted teeth, as he saw her biotic charge push the two into the tunnel and cover the opening just as the snow hit. Plava was covered over in less than a second but it was enough to prevent the snow from filling the tunnel and smothering Shar and Tali or so Kaidan hoped. Across the expanse of white it was impossible to see and the comms had gone deadly silent.
"Plava!" He yelled, looking at the advancing edge for any signs of movement, surely she could have held her shield up while she covered over the cave entrance. But then the memory of Chakwas telling her not to use her biotics came back, the vindictive attack from the girl whose life she had just sacrificed her own for. There was no way.
"Gonna need a little help with this one EDI. Think you can take over?" Shepard's voice cracked and raw suddenly comes over the comm snapping Kaidan back to reality.
"Of course Commander."
"Fly it close as you can. Bray and I can try a net grab once you get a lock on her suit."
The damaged ship took a wide turn back toward the valley and from his vantage point it looked like the ship was flying right into the approaching snow before it veered to fly parallel with the snow edge.
"Kay you might want to get everyone inside, this is gonna be a white Christmas. Have Karin and anyone else standing by." He saw the side door open once again but now there were two figures in the doorway Shepard and from this distance it looked like a Batarrian?
" I have the lock Commander. Sending the Coordinates now "
"Hell of a shot Shepard. This isn't bottle shooting." Garrus chimed in from the Normandy.
"Got something a bit different in mind . " A large projectile fired in the snow and came away clean.
"Damn. How many more mancatchers we have Bray." The memory of the nets that Cerberus would use to capture and subdue colonists made Kaidan's stomach flip but if there was even a chance that Shepard could pull the Asari out before she suffocated it was worth it.
"Two At most." A Baterian voice comes in the background of Shepard's comm. "Better make it count PJ."
"Always do four eyes." Another shot goes wide. "Seven hells . Ok EDI send me the coordinates and an estimate of location for 5 seconds later. The damn snow is moving faster than the gun can shoot."
"Sent."
