[ I believe in Nikaido's ability to be good with guns tbh, she's very multi-talented. Somewhere in his heart he is proud of her even though he isn't going to say shit out loud atm. Well, granted, that's ignoring the fact that she got hit by knockback but given that neither of them have ever used a gun, that's fair. But also this reminds him how guns actually maybe work and the fact that a certain collaboration of some irresponsible soldier and the rogue Vaux Sucksman accidentally almost committed ecoterrorism due to an unattended gun, he realises that's actually a bad idea. ]

Okay, scrap the 'fire back' plan -- we just need to get out of here as fast as possible. God, he wishes he had something else better. ]

[ As he says so, he's just gonna... yank one of the kerosene barrels overboard, let's hope they hit that and commit ecoterrorism...2! ]
