(James has a split personality thing going on. And he's not around anyway. )

[Powder Miner]

((james is best dog guys))
Oh no. This... was bad. Either those blades hadn't been as effective as he thought they'd be, this guy had awesome armor, or he was great against psionics. The lack of much weaponry reinforced this fact, and tipped James off that this guy was probably psionic. That made the flying slicey blades plan a no-go. However... even if the guy was some sort of psionic, a shotgun blast really ought to do the trick, as well as hopefully making serious kinetics dangerous. And if he wouldn't be able to reach the man, he'd do something to the ground under him- after all, IT didn't have armor.
But in the case of empathetics, he'd be kind of screwed. Perhaps he could... warn the other-him? And maybe ask what that itch was? He didn't know, he could ask that later.
Try to warn Iscariot of possible incoming empathetic attack; run up as close to I can to this guy and shotgun him. If I am not able to, perform a slam on the ground under him with the goal of shifting the ground enough to knock him over.

run up as close to I can to this guy and shotgun him

(("A little more than a dozen feet" is spitting distance. I wouldn't even make you roll mobility to get into melee range at that distance.))

[Zako]

((Given James' stats and preferances for combat, I'd say a good melee attack with your punch gun would work well for you. Failing that, shotgun to the face is good too.))

[Powder Miner]

((He's got an unknown, likely psychic, defensive perk. I'm not going to initiate body contact with this dude.
Plus I really want to use that shotgun.))

[Zako]

((Dude, I think you're overreacting a bit. I think he's got something like I.S or maybe some kind of absorption thing. He DID take damage, but you just didn't do much with just one blade. With your melee, you have better odds of nailing a hit and doing more damage, especially with the punch gun. But for checking what kind of damage he can take, the shotgun seems like a good fallback to me.))

[May be that the shield is speed based, so while a bullet traveling faster than sound might be blocked, a still-quite-deadly swing of a melee weapon may not cause it to flare up.

'Course, I know very little about the situation but that's my 2-bits. If it is psionic based, it's probably either instinctual or conscious, in which case you can probably trick him into either wasting energy, or nailing him when he isn't expecting it.]

[Powder Miner]

((I JUST WANT TO USE THE SHOTGUN ALL MY LOGIC IS LIESSSS AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAaAaA seriously though))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Powder isn't endangering anyone but himself by doing what he wants, and for all we know the shotgun might be the better choice in the end.)

[Zako]

((Yeah, but he should still be able to stick to his strengths, so stick to close range dude. Melee is your forte, but the shotgun works well too I bet.))

[Xanmyral]

[Eh, I say he does as he wishes, I was just tossing my two cents out there.

Well, that and I'd call shotgun melee, but I understand I'm silly in that regard.]

[Powder Miner]

((Jeez, can't a guy get some shotgunning in without fifteen people dropping on him like a sack of hammers :p))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(I was on your side dude. )

[Zako]

((Sorry, just trying to help. You're low on Stamina so your options are limited, so I just figure that you should stick to your strengths against this bad dude. Hopefully Tarran wakes up and can lend a hand.))

[Tiruin]

Shields up and running, and enemy fire able to graze the trench. I wonder who else is out there given the firefight ensuing right in front of me.

Tyrin mused on the notion of Technocrat forces flanking them. Nobody would try their back--or..as far as his intuition went, or would try the far end of the fence. The rubble would serve as good cover, he thought, relating to his experiences as a dealer in times gone past on how...security raids were planned out.

Try to move to the left of the ruined building and check for anyone on that side.
