Alex will accept some risk of having fire returned to her. Always
seems to be surprisingly calm under fire. She will take a second
shot at the leg, followed by another if required. <br>

The hovercycle pilots confirm, and stay back from the crest of
the hill.<br>

It is almost certainly Louissa. She is wearing New Camelot
armor, bit no helmet, and Alex can see her hair, though not her
face.<br>

Unfortunately the shot misses, and wrote, it alerts the captors
that they have been followed and are under attack.<br>
[/GM]</p>

<p dir="ltr">[GM]<br>
As Ted races towards Louissa and her captors, they react to
missed shot. The humanoid carrying Louissa keeps running towards
the compound surrounding the pyramid, while the other three
stop, drop to their knees, pull out some sort of guns and open
fire on the hillside.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Alex, Oz and Vesper are forced to duck for cover as
bluish bolts of energy strike the trees and brush, which explode
and burst into flames.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By this point Ted, with his incredible mutant speed,
is already at the bridge as they take aim at him. The three
enemies are about 600 or 700 feet from Ted, the lone captor
carrying Louissa is over a thousand feet away, and only a couple
of hundred from the wall. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As Louissa's captor approaches the wall a gate swings
open to allow it and Louissa in.<br>
