R9T20.2: Gamma swings wildly towards Girrigz, the only enemy he can see clearer than the others, only to have his swing stopped by a masterwork chain shirt. Hopefully he can distract them long enough to let Paxre and Beta escape, but he doesn't see himself surviving. As his final "words," he broadcasts these to the remaining survivors, his final thoughts. "Paxre, Beta, save yourselves, and live your lives for our sakes. Take the life that was not squandered here and do something worthy with it. I expect to meet you in the afterlife after you've lived a long fulfilling life, both of you." With his final words spent, he prepares himself for the end of his own life, having already accepted it.

R9T20.1: And Beta is safely gone. He will have run blocks and blocks with switchbacks as a trained stalker might, instead of all out sprinting. It isn't until he goes to climb the ladder that he even notices ... he still has that damnable wererat's short sword in his hand.

R9T19.7: The wounded wererat's stab is easily deflected by Paxre.

R9T19.5: Paxre, what do you do?

Rat swarm on deck, Murray in the hole ...
