As soon as Arxus said the word, Avori fired a shot across the visor of the Disciple closest to the entrance, carefully calculated to surprise but not harm either of them. In the last glimpse Avori caught of them, they were spinning round, weapons up, to face the origin of the bullet. Avori was no longer concerned with them, however. As soon as he had fired the bullet, Avori slung 1000-Yard Stare over his back with his left hand while dropping his right down to his side to draw an empty hand-cannon from its holster. He aimed it at Sister Eros and her friend while they, predictably, drew their weapons on him.

"Who did you shoot?" Eros demanded. "And how long have you been there?"

Avori was about to answer Eros' question when her friend chuckled: "Look at the pathetic Guardian. His hand-cannon isn't even loaded."

"It doesn't have to be," Avori replied, solar energy running down the length of his arm. "I've no intention of harming either of you, but don't make the mistake of thinking you can kill me before I fire two shots. You can't."

It was then that Arxus' message came over the COMMs: "Avori, how are things looking out there? If the Disciples find us, we're all screwed."

"I think it worked," Avori replied, careful not to reveal specifics to the two Disciples below him. "But I'm a bit busy right now. I can't check on Argus." Following that brief exchange, he turned his attention back to the Disciples. "I didn't shoot anyone, it was a warning shot. I've been sitting here since before you arrived."
