Rojka grabbed the Spartan’s elbow and let him pull him along as they ran up the stairs. A Sharquoi below them bellowed at their escape.
	The Spartan leaned over and looked down. “They can climb walls,” he reported. “Let’s move faster.”
	...
	Two more Spartans from the Gray Team fell in on either side of Rojka. They all piled into the Pelican as a Sharquoi burst out of and through the stairwell behind them, debris flying everywhere. One of the Spartans swung behind a large machine gun mounted on the rear bay of the Pelican and opened fire as the transport took off.
	The Sharquoi ignored the flak and jumped at them, launching through the air at incredible speed.
...
	A human sniper rifle cracked twice, just above his right shoulder. Rojka’s hearing cut out and his head rang. But the Sharquoi’s head got the worst of it. It snapped back and exploded in a burst of viscera. Its gnarled hands narrowly missed the edge of the ramp and it plummeted down, lifeless, to the street below.
