[So much for the defensive plan. Then again, it was clear that negotiations (such as they were) were about to break down, and they'd always known it would come to this. Maria would still rather this not get deadly, but she's irrevocably cast her lot in with the mutineers, and she'll have Connor's back all the way.
Which is easier said than done. A man that size has no business being so fast, and she's several seconds behind him when she manages to scramble around the pile that had concealed her. Connor's got matters well in hand—her eyes go wide at the sight of very familiar glowing beams.
But no matter how well he's doing, three against one makes for bad odds. The least she can do is try to even them out. Sword in hand, Maria goes for the woman, and hopes that Connor can take care of the other two.]
