[Shepard feels her heart stop. This is too much, there shouldn't be friendly fire and Cam shouldn't be using himself as bait and she's watching a giant monster go after people she cares about while she can do nothing for the second time in her life.]
[For a moment, barely a breath, she can smell overheated thermal clips and sweat. Her hearing fades out and she recalls the moment with perfect clarity. Phantom pain shoots up her leg and she's watching the thresher maw rise up from the sand, she can hear the screaming and the crunch of lives ending and she can do nothing on a broken leg, she's trapped and she'll be next and her friends are dying right in front of her--]
[Seasarmon pulls Cam out of the way of harm's way and Shepard's vision focuses again.]
Take it down, Seasarmon!!!
[Shepard takes in a shaky breath, and steadies herself.]
