That's one more thing they have in common - even under duress and in motion, they're both damn good shots. Turns out Wash appreciates it a lot more when it's not turned on him. He keeps one arm around Locus and aims his pistol with the other, picking off any Grunt that decides to get too close (thankfully, the Elite that Locus already took out has been the only one to break the line so far).

This might actually work. Isn't that a nice change.

"Keep it steady," he says. "I've got you."
