Rushing forward, Avery pulsed energy through his recently improved exosuit and began pummeling away at the shield in front of his targets.
At the same time, he brought his psionic abilities fully to bear and hammered into the shield with his energy severance.
He could tell that he was depleting its capacity quickly from the very subtle hint of surprise on Delia's face.
