	Concrete bubbled where they’d stood, and Keyes felt the legs of his uniform burning. He patted the fires out quickly, and looked back at Kincaide.
	The man had lost his left leg, blown clean off at the thigh.

	The plasma rifle had ripped through the ONI agent’s left torso, leaving a crisped mess.
	Keyes gagged at the smell.
