Shef blinked, clearing his eyes as much as possible. Those in front of him weren't moving particularly fast, so he wouldn't need to focus, just be able to track outlines. He wouldn't be able to find the assailant in the crowd right now, not without playing a card he wanted to keep close to his chest, and even then it would be a bit of a gamble. Better to wait for the next attempt to blind him or similar, and make a concerted effort to get hits on them. A serious risk that they were setting up something dangerous, but he'd have to live with that.
The projectiles were interesting, but he couldn't make heads or tails out of them right now.
For now, Shef decided to devote himself to making sure that Yuki would not be triple-teamed. Expulser was loaded and ready, so he'd be able to fire that instantly, followed by something a little more damaging.
Expulser on the swordsman to open a path up for Yuki, aim a bit to try to blast him into some of the projectiles. Yeah they probably won't hurt, but whatever. Since expulser is already readied, use Rapid Fire [4] on the Magician. Requiem the lurker to use maximum power in his shot, then portal to catch the lurker's shot and send it into the magician.

As the liquid engulfed his face, Shef stumbled backwards, struggling against the gut instinct to pull his hands up, as his lungs and eyes seared. Priority one was extinguishing this effect. He knew the source, and then he heard the attackers voice, or so he inferred. What the hell was wrong with everyone?
<I want my lawyer.> Shef thought. Normally he wouldn't have deigned to respond, but there was a goal here. Could he keep this communication channel open? The enemy had decided, for some reason, that they wanted to be in his mind. That would be a mistake.
He could see, vaguely, his target. Good enough to open fire at least. Four shots, center of mass, and timed precisely with it, a command. If this person wanted a conduit directly to his mind, they'd sure as hell be getting it.
Open fire on the assailant, single portal to get the bullets up above the crowd and descend at the target, activate requiem taking advantage of the mental connection, and time it to impact with the bullets. Command is to dispel the pepper spray effect. If this works and Shef's vision is cleared, fire expulser round at the swordsman to get him out of Yuki's way. One cached portal to move Shef a bit out of the way of some of the card attacks, and others applied as necessary to deal with any that are still approaching.

Kekari Armored Personnel Carrier Mk1:
Designed to safely ferry our troops through the cold plains and tundra of northern Harren. Our engineers were quick to realize that the significant change in climate upon crossing over would cause significant issues for designs that did not incorporate this fact. The APC is built around an advanced cold start 12 piston, 500 HP diesel engine. In cold temperatures, the diesel may be agitated using small resonators. Electricity drives the creation of intense focused vibrations, and this agitation of the fuel helps in the initial cycling of the engine as it warms up.
This engine drives a system of two extra wide treads, meant to aid mobility in muddy and icy terrains. These are driven by a forward located drive sprocket, and non overlapping wheels are used within the tread. Ideally this will prevent ice from clogging the treads in some scenarios.
In terms of armament, we mount a Musakila machinegun on top, to pose a threat to small groups of enemy units. Beyond this, the vehicle is unarmed. The cabin is meant to house 12 troops, for a total of 14 troops when considering the driver and gunner spot. Armament consists of 25 mm steel plate around the vehicle, and bullet proof glass for the cockpit.
A simple, cheap vehicle meant to assist in the mobility of our forces.
Katarani Medium Tank Mk1:
The choice to pursue a medium tank arrived from a need for balance between mobility in the northern peaks and significant armor to stop our enemy's powerful refocyte rounds. The tank is built around an advanced cold start 12 piston, 500 HP diesel engine. In cold temperatures, the diesel may be agitated using small well material resonators. Electricity drives the creation of intense focused vibrations, and this agitation of the fuel helps in the initial cycling of the engine as it warms up.
This engine drives a system of two extra wide treads, meant to aid mobility in muddy and icy terrains. These are driven by a rear located drive sprocket, and non overlapping wheels are used within the tread. Ideally this will prevent ice from clogging the treads in some scenarios. An armored skirt covers the top part of the treads, to hopefully defuse refocyte rounds before impact with the treads.
The tank is armed with a 70mm main gun, and storage space for 35 rounds. On top is mounted a Musakila machinegun. Forward armor consists of a protective skirt over thick, fairly sloped plates. Wellsap damping in the hull reduces shockwaves and muffles the engines. Spaces are left in the design for the addition of a sonic defense system.
The turret is manned by three, a commander, a gunner and a loader. One person can man the machinegun, and there is a spot for a driver.
This tank is designed to serve as a compromise between the need for speed, and for an armored mobile weapons platform that can shrug off hits from refocyte arms.
