Should have expected something like this to happen…
The fact that Matsumoto was prepared to intervene showed that Takehashi was also expecting something like this to happen but she definitely did not think that they would have someone who was using a cloaking mod to ambush her.
I went ahead to throw the grenades I had prepared ahead of time at the group of pirates, the explosion blowing a number of them up while throwing up a dust cloud to block us from view.
They couldn't fire now since that might also run the risk of shooting Helen as well so that bought us some time for now since we didn't have that problem and started firing into the smoke cloud instead.
There were cries of pain before someone shouted to take cover and they must have either moved back behind the corridor or huddled behind their Power Armoured units to protect themselves since the screams stopped.
