Geth leaped out of the ship, several at a time. The few marines young Kaidan had backing him up slipped into cover, but he couldn't move - he had to set the bomb.
"They're already here," he called. "There's geth pouring in all over the bomb site."
"Can you hold them off?" Shepard's voice was matter-of-fact over the comm.
Young Kaidan sank down to one knee, getting water all over his armor. "There's too many. I don't think we can survive until you get here." Resignation and determination dueled on his face.
"I'm activating the bomb."
Actual Kaidan ran his hands over his face. No. He had to focus. The room was trying to trick him somehow. "You see anything over there?" he yelled, running across the area and straight through the mirage of an attacking geth. Maybe through one of those big doors?
