((ooc: First thing's first, I'll have Sander give his final farewell in response to this post, then I'll reply again to get everything on track.))
[Falcon's attack finally ends as Blood's weakening resistance eventually fades into nothing, his face now little more than pulverized flesh, punctuated with shattered bone and dented metal. He released his grip, his blood-drenched hands falling to his sides as he watched the still form of his clone slide to the ground.
That part of the fight was over, he had survived. Unfortunately, Sander hadn't been so lucky. He crossed the room silently, making his way over to his fallen friend, crouching down beside him. He reached up, removing his helmet, allowing his one good, blue eye to look down at Sander unobscured, he wanted this last goodbye to be face to face.]
I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do, but... I can't help you.
[He shook his head, attempting a weak smile, but it was obviously forced.]
... I'm sorry...
[Even as he spoke, he could feel Shodan looking down on him...] (and he'll reply to what she says, in the next post after Sander.)
