Shepard deliberately sought the coldest place inside her that she could find and barked out, “Get him!” She suited word to deed by activating her tactical cloak and bringing out her own sniper rifle to try and get a bead on him, leaving Liara to counter his immediate biotic attacks. As soon as Shepard had found cover, she shot Kaidan.
Through the scope of her rifle, she saw Kaidan stagger backwards, an expression of pain on his face. For a moment that expression threatened to cut through the cold shell she’d wrapped around herself, but she locked it down as she reloaded the Black Widow.
“Cover me! I need to recharge!” Kaidan yelled and jumped backwards, into the spotlight created by the gunship. The gunship promptly opened fire, sending Liara ducking for cover behind one of the pews. They waited until the gunship stopped firing before coming back out, Shepard’s tactical cloak activating once more.
Putting Kaidan in her sights never got any easier. Liara kept him distracted most of the time, waging a biotic war, while Garrus and Shepard attempted to take long-range shots at him to wear him down. Just when Shepard thought they might be making some progress on taking him out, he retreated to the cover of the gunship again. Frustrated, she slipped out of her cover when he reappeared and sent a ball of flame streaking towards him. Then she started to raise her sniper rifle again.
For just a moment, Kaidan’s eyes met hers. She could have sworn that she saw something there - indecision, maybe, or conflict. Or maybe she was just seeing what she wanted to see.
You can’t save me, Shepard.
“Kaidan,” she said, almost inaudibly over the roar of the gunship. Everyone else was forgotten. She was about to reach him, she knew it, she -
The gunship fired rockets towards the main supporting beams of the temple, sending Shepard, Garrus, and Liara diving out of the way. When she poked her head up again, Kaidan was moving forward to collect the data from Vendetta. Shepard tried to scream his name again, but the piece of wall she’d been hanging on to cracked and she had to scramble to keep from falling into the gaping hole the gunship’s rocket had created.
When Shepard had regained her footing, she saw Kaidan running out of the temple. The pale green glow of Vendetta was gone.
“Shepard!” Liara called. Shepard looked over to see Liara trapped under a piece of wall, and ran over to pry her free. Garrus joined them a moment later, and all three of them watched the gunship leave, with Kaidan and the data on the Crucible.
