The Dresden Effect: Prologue, Part III - The Lazarus Project

[fightyourfoes]

Gunshots echo in Shepard's ears, distant and indistinct. Everything's hazy, clouded over with sleep. Something shakes... whatever she's lying on (it's soft and warm; a bed?), rocking her gently back and forth

Miranda breathes a small sigh of relief once she has Shepard up and moving. She hasn't got time to waste, though; she switches comm channels a split second after Shepard leaves the med-bady.

"Lawson to Dresden! Come in, Dresden!"

She sincerely hopes the Wizard's comm unit hasn't shorted out. It would be just their luck if it had.

Harry had just gotten back from an assignment when the mechs activated. Luckily for him, since he's still geared up, he's holding his own against the LOKI mechs with ease. Most of the Cerberus workers he's seen so far haven't been so lucky.

Miranda's voice crackles in his ear just as a mech explodes, drowning it out. He ducks behind a plastisteel railing, pressing the radio receiver flat into his ear. "Dresden here. What the hell's going on?"

Miranda breathes an internal sigh of relief when Dresden answers. "The station's under attack," she informs him, urgency clear in her voice. "Someone hacked the mechs to attack us. Most of them seem to be trying to reach Shepard. She's up and moving. I'm directing her to the escape shuttles. Where are you?"

Harry kind of figured the first half of that out. It tends to happen when one is being shot at. But all snark is thrown out the window when he hears the most important part. "I'm..." He glances around to get his bearings, and has to stop and put a focused spike of techbane through a mech's central processing unit. "Just outside the mess hall. Huh."
