Arqueek, at the head of the group, walked around a corner, and saw a bright green glow next to a round, blue shield. He had enough time to back up behind the boulder before an overcharged plasma bolt hit it where he had been standing moments before, shearing off a portion of the rock, melting even more of it from the intense heat. "Great Horned Rat, that was close!" Arqueek muttered. He peeked around the corner, seeing the Jackal shaking his pistol, which was busy dumping waste heat. Arqueek immediately opened fire three times. The first two shots from his pistol stunned the alien, and the third hit it in the skull, blowing its head off from the sheer power of the round. As the Jackal collapsed in a pool of purple blood, the shield dissipated, and the pistol slipped from its claws. Arqueek bent down to examine the corpse, and unstrapped the circular from the alien's wrist, the shield generator. Strapping it to his own furry arm, he noticed two holographic figures appear on it: a blue square and a red triangle. He touched the square, and met resistance. The hologram flashed, and suddenly the shield sprang to life in front of him. He pressed the triangle, and it dissipated once again. "Hey guys, check this thing out!"
