[Taocow PBEM] Book 3 - Chapter IV - Who's This Then?

[Koba Rowers]

[Koba]

Swimming in environmental armor dragging an unconscious person behind him is taxing almost all the reserve Koba's small frame can handle. Panting as he reaches the sub, Koba appears exhausted. "Help me get him in the sub" he shouts to those already on the sub. It takes much of his strength to pull himself up and into the hatch.

The gear which Alex has are part of what makes her able to compete with those much more powerful than her and be an asset to the team.

Osiris is the only conscious person capable of piloting the mini-sub, Alex, Louissa, Koba and Owen are burdened with unconscious or disabled people they have rescued, and only Carlos, Ted and Justin are completely free to open fire.  The barges are now no more than eighty feet away, the closest fish men about forty.  It's hard to estimate how far away the Kittani boats are, but they're probably within a thousand feet and closing fast.  The nearest land, not visible from the water line, is at least two miles to the north.
