[ ONE ]  for sender to take a bullet for receiver.  / from wren!

One of these days, her idiot commander was going to give her a heart attack. She swore by it--she'd die of an early heart attack thanks to Shepard. And she'd happily blame it on her friend, too. With all of the chaos that Wren managed to get them into, it was undoubtedly going to be her fault, anyway. She'd already died once; did she really need to make it a habit of a second time?!

"Damn it, Shepard," Ashley griped, hooking her friend under the arm and dragging her behind a large rock out of the way of gunfire. "Look, I know you're the savior of the galaxy and all, but damn it, you are not the charge-in-headfirst type!" Ashley could hear shots peppering the rock above them, but she ignored it for the moment, planning ahead as much as she could.

"Stay down," she said firmly, pulling out her sniper rifle. With a split-second glance down the scope, she fired one shot, then another, then another, picking off enemies the moment she saw them pop out of cover, reloading with a flourish. Four, five, six of them were down within seconds, Ashley's marksmanship capabilities being showcased in rapid succession. With the last one down, she set the rifle to the side, readying the medigel on her omni-tool.

"For shit's sake, Shepard. Leave the bulldozing to me and Vega, all right? And Kaidan, if he's got his barrier up." Hell, she'd rather EDI do that kind of thing; at least if EDI's mobile platform took a bad hit, it wouldn't mean the end of their synthetic friend. Might mean finding a good engineer to build her another one, and too many resources they didn't have at the moment, but EDI wouldn't die if that thing crapped out on her, at least. She carefully applied the medigel to where the shot had hit, resisting the urge to grumble under her breath.
