Caellath: repeating the action that ended up with your teammate hitting a wall at high speed, this time while sprinting? This can only end well.

Agent Maxwell announced over her shoulder that she'd opened the door, went invisible, and entered to investigate. The only things inside were some collapsible tables, covered in carefully-arranged gun components. Judging from what was missing, somebody had assembled a medium-range, high-powered sniper rifle, with a laser sight and thermal scope.
