Mason waited for the last soldier to pass by him in one of the shorter halls, having hid himself in the darkness of the alcove. He grabbed the person's head by their mouth and shoved his titanium hunting knife into their throat, dragging them into the alcove, disappearing from sight. A bright flash could be seen as Q's Jumpship, the Fangs of Nyx, flew directly at one of the leaving dropships, unleashing a full rocket-load on it before flying straight through it X-wing style and turning to engage a cluster of ground troops. Anyway, Mason picked up whatever gun the now dead guy was using and looked over it, curious to see what it was. (Say hello to my new character to represent my violent side. He means business.)
