You refuse to let the guard die. Not when you owe him one.
The superior officer is focused on the guard, making him get on his knees for a dishonorable execution. You race towards the officer as fast as you can. There isn’t a moment to lose.
Your squeaking shoes against the metal floor gets the officer’s attention, who blasts at you with her rifle. The laser singes your leg. You lose momentum and crash on the floor.
The guard takes advantage of the distraction. He reaches up and grabs the officer’s laser rifle! They struggle for the weapon.
“Leave me!” shouts the guard.
So much for being a hero. You decide to take his original advice.
