Meet the Sniper

[dont_ingest]

[On a rooftop near you, a tall gangly alien is lining up shots on the zombies in the distance. Between bursts of fire, he's seems to be talking to someone. Or. Trying to talk to someone, anyway.]

Shepard do you read? Shepard, do you-shit, I've got nothing but static. This is going to be fun. Cutting communications is never a good sign.
