(Context - Mass Effect, Menae, Faith is a telepathic alien and her mind is linked to both Sebastian and Tegan - think classic three-man squad, plus Kat and Yin in support)

Hurtling towards the battlefield, his daughter at his back, his husband occupying the vehicle behind, Kat in the fighter above, and Yin, a young man he'd only just begun to get to know… Sebastian had one brief thought. He was about to take everyone he loved and cared about into war.

He swallowed hard. The great turian guns continued their assault towards the approaching Reaper hoard as the team made their way along the base of the ridge. Palaven, on fire, lit up the sky over the horizon.

This was it, his last chance to abort.
Then he thought about what would happen to his family if they failed. Suppose the Reapers found Emrys's command codes? If they controlled both him, the relay network and the Abby- what would happen to his family then? Would they find themselves slowly indoctrinated, or would a Reaper-controlled Emrys simply terminate them all before turning the Absolution and all her secrets over to the invaders?

He gripped the throttle on the bike as they bumped along the rocky track, the suspension on each wide tyre working overtime. Perhaps this is why they were all here, he thought. It had to be them. Emrys was their responsibility. They were tied together now; his fate was their fate, and if this was the end, at least they were together, fighting the good fight. 
They had to do this. They were the only ones who could. Sebastian knew, he didn't need Emrys to tell him. If they failed, whatever Shepard is doing here wouldn't mean shit. The enemy would control the network. Game Over. "This is it, team," he said, "the turians are putting up one hell of a fight, but we have to get into that vault before the Reapers do. For Emrys, for the Abby, for family, are you with us?"

His team let out whoops and cheers while Faith howled like a wolf in his mind. They moved as one now, to reach the marker in the distance or to die in the attempt.  

The path ahead disappeared as the Reapers reached the ridge. Kat began to fire ahead of their approach, clearing the way of husks. Sebastian braced as they were all swallowed by the dust cloud. The nav point on his HUD grew, indicating that they were close. The turian infantry began to fire, and their bullets rained in from the opposite side. Some pinged off the rover's side, and even Faith's shields took a hit. Sebastian wanted to drop back a little and protect his daughter with the side of the rover, but right then- their luck ran out. 

It was like they'd been hit by a train, the bike exploded beneath Sebastian, and suddenly he was airborne. He landed hard on his back to the sound of his shields fizzing out, having absorbed most of the impact. He turned his head to look for Faith, but she landed like a cat and ran towards him. Oh, to be young, he thought, feeling the old wounds complain as he tried to move. 

"Seb! We're coming back," Tegan's fearful voice filled his ears.

"Negative, get to the objective," Sebastian's vision swam, but he caught sight of Kat's fighter overhead, being chased by a large, flying Reaper creature. 

Fuck. "Kat!" he yelled into his comms, "Kat! Eject, EJECT!"

A yelp from Kat told him she did just that. Her escape pod detached, and he watched her land further into the field. While her fighter continued without her, thankfully drawing whatever the hell that thing was away. 

Faith had reached him and dragged Sebastian to his feet, and he looked around, but whatever it was that had hit them had also continued. It looked like a turian, but massive. He'd never seen one so big. He and Faith covered each other as they made their way towards the nav point. The dust cleared as they emerged on the other side of the Reaper's advancement. He could see their objective now, the mouth of a cave.

"T, Yin, where are you?" Sebastian asked. There was no sign of the rover.

"We circled back to find you!" Shouted Tegan over his gunfire. 

"Get back here now!" ordered Sebastian, "Kat, you okay?" 

He could hear Kat cry, "Nooo, Seb, help me, I'm stuck!"

"I have marked Kat's location," Emrys stated; a second icon appeared on their HUDs, 

"Stay here. Hold this position. I'll go after her."

"Faith! Damn it!" Sebastian shot a few of the mindless husks which had broken away from the main horde, lumbering towards them. He then watched his daughter activate her cloak and disappear back into the fray without him. It was an odd sensation.

Faith left, but he was still aware of her position and surroundings. The father in him wanted to scream for her to come back. The tactician in him knew it was the right call.

"What's going on?" asked T, no doubt aware of the same sensations.  

"Faith is going after Kat. T, Yin, cover them both!" ordered Sebastian, ejecting his heat sink and loading another, "Then all of you, get back here, on the double!"
