Re: action;

[Fast! She ducks, but human bodies only have so much reaction time, and one of the bullets grazes the side of her head as she drops down. He's surprisingly accurate for some kid, and who knew he could use guns?

Well, that's a data point. Suddenly she is at a serious disadvantage. Knives are slow; bullets are fast. Guns are ranged; knives are...less ranged. She didn't have any good sight on what the gun was, though "handgun" is at least decent enough for an approximation of range. Either way, she's inside his damage radius.

The alleys are small here, but she's not exactly athletic. Very average, really. Trained enough to run around a starship, not nearly enough to be hurdling alleyways. She has to take the long way down and fight from the ground now, since he will be avoiding this rooftop.

She drops down each of the ladders -- boom boom boom goes the fire escape -- and then to the ground. He knows exactly where she is now, so she takes off at a sprint.

Damn, human bodies are not equipped for this by default. The Network is telling her his location, but right now she's open. Where he goes next will tell her what to do...]
