"If you don't start talking, I cannot promise you that the Space Marine will spare you. Are you really going to bet your life for this?" Meceliss asked the man "I am not a threat, but if you refuse to stand down, you won't give me many options. So for the sake of your and our crews, start talking. And cease hostilities."
"I doubt he is aware what even happened on the ship. Or even what ships he is facing." Meceliss said to Sarge before looking at the soldier again. "Tell me, there are two ships of possibly unknown designs here. ID's and comm channels are not known or compatible. What makes you think we are the enemy you are facing? Whoever that is." She then asked to the soldier
"Mierda!"
The soldier made an evasive leap to escape Elliot's attack toward another spot of cover, then swore once Titus steadily blasted away at it. He found his weapon then pulled out of his hands, though he managed to pull out a pistol, firing a shot off at the approaching Jedi to maintain distance while he backpedaled away.
The soldier was ready to toss a grenade of his own when Emily's barrier enveloped him, protecting him from Sarge, Viktor, and Blitzcrank. "What the--?!" The man slammed against the edge of the barrier.
"I'd rather die than become like you!"

Behind the cargo bay was an elevator that seemed powered down. However, there was a manual verticle passage up to the shuttle bay that seemed unmanned, but Gumi was stopped short halfway up the ladder. "Hey!" yelled a male voice. When she lifted her head look, she would find a man glaring down at her.
"Back off!" He held a firearm aimed right at her.

"Everyone gets afraid, Emily!" Elliot snapped. "It is not an excuse! Do you not know where your weak heart will get you?!" He reached out to grab her by the shoulder. He didn't know what he was going to do to her, but it didn't matter. He felt his legs buckle beneath and he collapsed right into her, exhausted. The portal closed, leaving the cargo bay in still silence.
The soldier grunted, looking about ready to punch Meceliss. Still, he holstered his pistol and dropped down to his knees. "I know when I've lost a fight, but the Normandy will hold strong." He looked down at the ground. "Do you even know what you're doing? We're at war with the Reapers. Maybe you don't even know, huh? I think that's bullshit."

"Unless everyone in the cargo bay right now is named Elliot, you're lying to me." The man just seemed tired, but still focused on protecting the ship. He wasn't going to let anyone pass, not by a long shot. "And nothing you just said made any sense. Maybe you... really are..."
He seemed hesitant. "Like I said, back off. Now."

Meceliss walks over to the man, disigniting her lightsaber. "Sometimes, the strangest things are the truth. If these 'Reapers' are so strong to cause this, then I do not blame you for that." She said as she lowered herself to the man's height. "The fight is not over. I know you care much for those who are on board. Help us from having them die in vain. Because what you call bullshit is the truth. Because I am not from this universe. We are all from dofferent universes. How else can you explain the diversity in technology. It would be a logitical nightmare for any galactic government to maintain an army with this much diversity in equipment." Meceliss explained as she held out a hand to the soldier."Everyone gets afraid, Emily!" Elliot snapped. "It is not an excuse! Do you not know where your weak heart will get you?!" He reached out to grab her by the shoulder. He didn't know what he was going to do to her, but it didn't matter. He felt his legs buckle beneath and he collapsed right into her, exhausted.

Meceliss looked briefly to Sarge "Shut up."

The soldier adopted a confused look at the talk of other universes, though he hardly seemed convinced.
"... I ain't telling you shit." He spat on to the floor. "Que te den."
@CrunchyCHEEZIT @Raptor Jesus @Donder172 @York
"We didn't know what you are," the man explained. "We're fighting an impossible threat that we don't even know everything about. We fired to find that out." He looked off to the side for just a moment. "Or, that is what I was told."
Of course, Gumi's talk of friends and family was what really hit home. "We're-- We're all scared, okay? You should have just let us be. If you really are as harmless as you say you are, then... can you prove it? Can you provide proof beyond words?"
