When the wave finally subsided, Nate found they'd been dragged all the way to the beach, and landed in the midst of another group of fighters to boot. Water poured off him, weighing him down as he tried to shake the worst of it out of his pouches. Faram damn it all, this would have destroyed all his explosives and washed clean the caltrops. Hopefully the effect grenades would still work, at least, or he'd be left with only the acid vials.
Drake tried to tell him to run. "No way," Nate said, looking back towards the docks and the city proper. "I'd never make it through that on my own, and you can't spare a fighter to escort me." He knew his own weaknesses; without someone to take the hits, he'd go down in seconds in any real fight.
