By all accounts, this situation could have gone by better. This situation could have been handled better.
Examining retrospectives... ...no. All that it amounted to was that every choice would have been the wrong one. She couldn't have backed down, even to just because this was her turf and she couldn't just ignore things like these happening on her turf. But fighting a HOUND unit on her own... the algorithm predicted trouble if she were to fight more than one of these at once, or more than three in total.
Situational analysis continues... Escaping now was a no-go. Not with there being a chance of the HOUND chasing and using her missiles recklessly, while also announcing her location to the entire squad. She'd need to get rid of her first, one way or the other. The good part of this was that, if she'd get reinforcements, those reinforcements
Either way... she'd not be able to live around here any longer, not after getting caught right on her doorstep. And the Grey would have to pull a few strings, to keep the people here from retribution. If retribution happened... it would be her fault. And she'd never forgive herself for it.
Recommended course of action: All or nothing.
C'mon, Septima... Isn't like it's your first time having to hit that one shot.
Offensive Mode, Power Shot, HOUND. Lessgo. Then, if she's scared off, or her reinforcements are incoming, escape into some alleyways, someplace the Harpy can't get a clear line of fire. General direction: Towards whatever kind of hell the rest of her squad is stirring up.
