Well, at least they'd get to go out and do something then! Acien followed along carefully, holding his weapon at the ready as his eyes scanned everywhere possible.   It was boring for the first thirty minutes, but soon though the squad was being signalled to halt, and Acien moved low, crouching as he listened to Vrachev speak. He nodded with the rest of them. He wondered why the woman with the sniper rifle would be going first. Why did the scout HAVE a sniper rifle in the first place? Well, that didn't matter. He would creep closer and closer toward the apartment, that is until he was told to stop, his radio cracking to life.

Staying put he began to fiddle with his gun, bored almost.

However, soon though there was something, a very loud noise from inside the building. Alright, that probably meant that they should move in and assist. He was one of the first people into the dusty and worn down appartment, watching carefully and trying to figure out where the people were. However, it was apparent soon enough when he came upon...it wasn't a truly ghastly sight, he had seen worse, but it wasn't pleasant.

That beautiful snake woman was now clawing and biting into a dying rebel. She didn't even seem to care really. It didn't even really seem to slow her down, the armour that is, she just tore through it like paper. Skin, muscle, blood, all spewed forth from the scene, and Acien was careful not to get caught by any of that. He was smart too, he knew about blood lust, and of Naga capabilities...most ly, stepping in would not be a good idea. He barely noticed that other people were in the room now too, all struck dumb by the sight before them. Someone tried to stop her, Adrian he thought, but she managed to fight him off. That was probably not a smart move. He could see the animalistic intent behind her eyes. She wasn't there anymore, no, she was hidden while her brutal nature came out to play.

Acien probably should have acted a little faster when he saw Sweetwater suddenly try and get into the fray. Now there was a decision to be made. Shoot Saeryn, maybe hitting Sweetwater, or bite the bullets from hell and pry Sweetwater away from her? Shooting anyone would probably get him in trouble, no matter the circumstances. He had to figure a way to help...Then again, he seemed to have her...sort of under control. No...no she had that big tail. He would hopefully be safe from the claws then. He decided to just go and jump on the tail, wrapping his arms around it so she wouldn't be able to grab Sweetwater with it and crush him. The poor guy would look like a tube of toothpaste. That would probably not work out for anyone at all.

"Can anyone lend a hand?! Grab something or...shoot her with a stun gun!" They had to have SOMETHING. Aedolis had a plethora of non-lethal weapons at their disposal. Still, someone should do something or...put her in a sleeper hold...hit her in the back of the head. Just something to knock her out! The thrashing and the bucking of the tail was really starting to get very...hard to hold onto. Sure it would stop her from killing Sweetwater but this had gone on long enough!

Saeryn let out an inhuman screech as someone grabbed her off of her meal. She flailed wildly, she wanted whoever did this to pay, she would simply make him into her next meal. She struggled against his grip, wanting to break free and kill. She flailed around wildly, trying to wrap her tail around his legs and break them like she did her previous kill. When the other human grabbed her tail and tried to hold her down she only got angrier and struggled more and more. She knew that she would easily be able to take off one of the human's limbs if she were to break free. That's all she could think about, was breaking free and making these humans surrounding her pay. She knew that the could kill them, they wanted her to stop from feeding so they would become her meal. She let her strains become a bit looser before lashing and freeing one her arms. She managed to wrap her tail around the pilots neck making sure to choke him and wrapping the tail around his legs. She brought her body close to his, her face was right next to his, he was still struggling. Saeryn was just about to plunge them into his head and end yet another life. She had an evil smile on her face just as she was about to bring them down.

"No..."

A thought was able to spark in her head,

"No, he is my friend, why am I doing this, why am I hurting them, I can't kill them. SAERYN STOP IT NOW!"

She released her grip on the pilot's neck, simply unraveling herself and collapsing on the ground. She looked at her hands, saw that they were coated in blood and realised that her mouth was still stained by it. She didn't want to get back up, she just laid there, still in shock at what she had done. She could have killed Adrian or Sweetwater or the pilot even though they were trying to save her. Vrachev just walked up to her, holding her assault rifle, he knelt down beside her, his normally cold heart"You ok?" Saeryn just looked away from him. She was still in shock at what she could have done. She could have killed any of them simply because she couldn't control herself... she was actually scared...

Well, he sort of thought that the full nelson that Sweetwater had her in was going  to do the trick. And that he had her by the tail would stop her. That however wasn't going all that well though. Because suddenly things were starting to get very out of control really. The screams was really scaring him, and then something felt tight around his neck. For a moment he thought she had gotten him with her hands, would would have spelt certain doom for him no doubt, considering what he had seen her do after all. He was being constricted, his air ways were being cut off. He wasn't afraid though, he was almost calm, despite the struggling, he didn't have fear in his eyes.

Not even when she came in close, ready to kill him.

She stopped though, she seemed to be coming back to herself now, and she released him from her grip. He coughed and hacked as he was finally able to breathe again, rolling away from her and spitting blood onto the dusty ground.

"Oh yeah...no one worry about me...I only was being strangled." Acien managed to say as he rubbed his neck to try and ease the bit of pain. Sure of course she had been going under some blood lust type thing, but it wasn't like she was really injured. Her arm looked a bit wounded but...he was the one having been strangled and almost killed. At least she hadn't swiped him with her claws or teeth. That sounded...unpleasan t to say the least. The being sick and stuff...it probably wouldn't work for him.

Slowly Acien got up to his feet. Now, incidents like this were supposed to get reported, but Acien was probably going to keep a secret. Or maybe turn it about and say she attacked him in a lustful rage. Hah. That woulda been a nice cover story really. Granted she might find out and then he would be in real trouble.

Well, she was already in the Tenth Infantry, it was enough punishment. Besides, she couldn't really help it.

Sweetwater thought that he had Saeryn in a full nelson. The pilot's grip on her tail was bit reassuring. He actually believed that he could restrain her until she actually calmed down. But suddenly he felt her elbow ram into his stomach and before he could react she had managed to get out of his grip. Sweetwater stumbled back from the blow, the wind knocked out of him. Saeryn wasn't restraining herself at all, she looked thin and delacate but she had hit as if there was no tomorrow. His head hit the ground and everything got a bit blurry from the blow.

Something wasn't quite right, Sweetwater knew that he couldn't have gotten a concussion from a simple fall, especially since he was wearing his helmet. But then he realized that his glasses flew off, he reached around until he found his glasses then put them back on, everything returned to clarity, he hated having his bad vision, but he would have to deal with it. He saw Wilson hold out his arm and Sweetwater grabbed it and was hauled back up to his feet. He looked over to see Saeryn releasing her grip on the pilot and her lying on the ground in what looked like shock. Vravhev was making sure that she was ok and the pilot was picking himself up from the struggle. Sweetwater heard him mutter towards the squad, "Oh yeah...no one worry about me...I only was being strangled."

Adrian just looked over and spoke, "Hey I think it would be a safer move to make sure she doesn't relapse and try and strangle you again." Vrachev just looked over twoards the pilot, "Next time don't try and restrain her... that just makes it harder for her to calm down." he looked over towards Sweetwater, "That goes for you too, nice little show of bravery... but next time try not to get you're self killed." Sweetwater just nodded, he knew that it wasn't a good idea for him to try and do something like that, and he also knew that he would get crap for this later...
