"The hell are these things?"

Varrus remarked as the fireteam's progress was slowed by a group of Vex units he had yet to see in action. While most of the machines were rendered busy with the others behind him, one siren crawled to the front of the group, and dropped from the celling directly in front of the titan.

He dropped his rifle, as the Vex was too close for the weapon to do anything but encumber him in melee, and took a swing at the bronze hull's upper torso. Unfortunately for Varrus, the siren was quite nimble, while he was exceedingly slow to strike. The Vex ducked under the giant's fist and sunk its blade into a seam in his chestplate.

The strike did not puncture very far, but it certainly stung. Varrus brought his right elbow back towards the siren's head, but it twisted its body around, the joint of its arm rotating far beyond the breaking point of that of a human, and instead sliced its other blade across the underside of Varrus's forearm.

The giant roared, more out of anger than pain, and seeing that the Vex was stuck for the moment, took the opportunity to drive his right knee up into its mind core. The thing let out a wail as it flew backwards against a wall, crashing to the ground with its cracked core leaking white fluid onto the ageless stone.
