Varrus continued his slow yet implacable advance, mowing down goblins and soaking up return fire as he talked.

"No mistaking that voice. Nice to hear from you too, Chorrin! And for your information, it’s a little hard to hear you from almost a mile above the lighthouse!"

As the giant reloaded his rifle, a minotaur teleported around a corner and let out a mechanical roar, charging the titan in brief red flashes. Varrus slung his empty rifle, and awaited the machine's attack. As soon as the minotaur appeared in front of him, it drew back its left arm, and brought it down. The titan countered with a punch of his own, that met the vex's fist in between them. Both held there for a moment, trying to overpower each-other, before Varrus ignited his left fist and smashed it into the vex hull's faceplate.

Its head reduced to a melted ruin, the minotaur brought its torch hammer up, seeking to vaporize the guardian resisting it. But by then, the giant had already changed his grip on its arm. Moving with sudden speed, he stepped to the right of the vex, twisting its arm back until it snapped with a sound stickily similar to breaking bone, though more metallic. The giant then planted a foot in the machine's back, and forced it to the ground, before drawing his shotgun, and unloading all four rounds full auto into the pinned frame.

As the minotaur slumped to the sands, dead, Varrus reloaded his shotgun, and resumed his advance.

Fer watched as Avori pulled back to friendly lines, and out of the competition. That left just Chorrin and Cole, still shooting and hacking away dangerously deep behind vex lines. Now out of fusion rifle ammo, the sunsinger drew hawkmoon, and fired into the increasing numbers of vex converging on their position.

"You two might wanna wrap it up. We're getting surrounded out here!"

Hearing Varrus's voice, the warlock added her own outburst to the comm traffic.

"Varrus! Why the hell are you here? And why didn’t you tell me or anyone else where the fuck you were going?!"
