Since you didn't say they'd retreated into a prepared position before taking inventory...
Should she or shouldn't she?
Natsuko knew that trying to snipe Peters was a fool's game, even with her own boosted reflexes. But Peters wasn't alone any more - the sword and the two miniatures might not be able to get out of the way of a waved-teflon-coated round. And they weren't even trying to take cover - maybe they had forgotten the rest of the OpFor would respawn shortly. Time to remind Peters she wasn't in a safe place.
~ What the hell. You only live once, or more than once in here. But she hasn't killed me yet, and I want to get through this Gauntlet with that still true. ~
The inspector quickly settled in, aimed very carefully, and took her shot.
Then she grabbed the rifle barrel, rolled to her feet, and ran like hell - maybe before her target could react.
~ Too bad I can't stick around to see what effect the shot has, but I'm not suicidal. ~
I'll leave it your choice who Aki was aiming at.
