Shadow Stalker crouched at the corner of the roof, loaded her crossbow and fired a shot at Cricket. It passed a half-foot behind the woman.
If she realizes you’re shooting at her, you’ve pretty much lost your chance to hit.
Her second shot was on target, and Cricket dropped a few seconds later, tranquilized.
Nice work!
Good – The woman’s radar might find Shadow Stalker if she wasn’t in her shadow state, and Shadow Stalker could be far more effective if the enemy didn’t see where she was attacking from.
Especially this particular enemy.
Who else? Menja was classified as a breaker, the spatial-warping effect that surrounded her made incoming attacks smaller even as she simultaneously made herself bigger.
Called it! Menja and her sister being breakers, I mean.
So the spatial warping makes the attacks objectively smaller, not just relative to Menja? She’s even bigger relative to incoming attacks than she is relative to her surroundings?
The darts wouldn’t even be noticeable to her. Stormtiger could deflect projectiles by sensing and adjusting air currents.
Hm, yeah, that’d be a problem.
And this leaves Hookwolf. He’s got fleshy bits sometimes, but how susceptible is his biology to tranquilizers?
With the right timing, so her shots came out of the shadow state as they arrived to make contact with him? Maybe.
That could work. Seems like a very Flechette tactic.
But he was engaged in a fist fight with Assault, and she’d be risking tagging the hero.
Ah. Yeah, we don’t want that.
Hookwolf? No point. He was currently in the shape of a gigantic wolf made of whirring metal blades. Even if the dart did penetrate something approximating flesh, which it wouldn’t, his entire biology was so different that she doubted he would be affected.
Figures.
Seems you’re out of targets, unless there’s someone hiding around here somewhere.
