The captain drops his weapon as you charge him but he grapples you before you can take it away from him. Grappling, you both roll out of the cover. You must have underestimated the captain's strength because very quickly he ends up on top, holding you down.
"What is not natural is your defiance of my orders. I have been put in charge of you by the queen herself!"
He smashes down his head, breaking your host body's nose and getting your blood into your eyes, blinding you for the moment.
Lt. Yang fires his tranquilizer rifle at the pale man right after Cass' shot hits the wall behind him. He hits the man's shoulder but again, the shot is stopped by the armor he's wearing. Still, it distracts the man from shooting for just a fraction of a second, giving Alex a better opportunity to avoid his attack.
The captain's guard is trying to align a shot at Zephyr but he's wrestling with the captain, making it difficult to hit him without hitting the captain. After a second, he gives up and starts lining up a shot at the pale man instead.
Cass, suddenly you hear Darcy's voice over your comm badge:
"Potential to Commander Cassano. Apologies for the interruption."
