Keyes shot him in the chest, then stomach, grazed his side, and then ran out of ammunition. He slammed into Kincaide, grappling for the alien rifle. "Damn. . . UNSC ... pig,” Kincaide spat, still trying to force the rifle up into Keyes's ribs. “Go back to Earth. You don't belong here." The memory of the explosions in the cargo bay of Finnegan's Wake, the flaming Pelican Jeffries piloted going down, wounded ODSTs gritting their teeth and bearing the pain as they waited for
help, all filled Keyes's mind. He grunted and kept forcing the plas- ma rifle down until it was aimed at Kincaide's feet.
He pulled the trigger, and a burst of white-hot plasma destroyed the Insurrectionist's leg and threw Keyes back, still holding onto the rifle.
Concrete bubbled where they'd stood, and Keyes felt the legs of his uniform burning. He patted the fires out quickly, and looked back at Kincaide.
With a kick, I leapt off the ground. Sporting Strengthening no ordinary magus could
hope to match, my leap sent mud splattering all around as I soared through the
cramped forest, the scythe's blade heedless of the tight quarters.
The blade clearly slashed through the cat.
But.

How would it have looked to the Shiki who couldn't see?
The magus writes in the air with her cigarette flame. The writing is reflected on the corpse as if it were being projected.
The far-off country composed only of straight lines, the engraved sorcery of a far-off world. The circuit called Rune moves and in an instant --- the body of the corpse lying collapsed on the ground begins to burn.
IMPORTANT: Do not use it for transactions LARGER THAN $15,000!!! If you exceed that amount, they will ask for your ID and hold your swap until your identity is verified - and we dont want that. Personally I have been doing multiple $15,000 swaps so far, and worked just fine (none of them triggered KYC/AML checks).
