She has a long reputation on her homeworld of Algol. Where else are you going to find tech willing to blow her Saturday night pulling seaweed and stuff out of your intakes after that stupid crash landing. Besides, she only whacks pilots who come up with blatantly dumb ideas. (ie; six-armed battle meks, battlesuits disguised as vending machines, etc.)

*CRUNCH*
-"rk!"-
KAS-DA caught the wrist in one of her hands, her other hand instantly closing around the intruder's throat with vise-like pressure. She pulled the man's arm straight until-
*pft!*
-with a pop it dislocated.
*KRAK*
A twist of the hand holding the blue-gloved wrist and all the bones in that wrist broke. She looked at the device still gripped loosely in the hand with a critical eye.
"A compact short range high energy microwave generator and projector. Lethal to organics at short range."
She then stared at the gurgling man fighting for breath in her grasp.
A sound behind her as the man's colleague came running in-
#WHAMPF#
-then went flying back out as his comrade was thrown into him at near supersonic speed, and into darkness.
-"-resh meat week, looks like."
The two dark-suited men blinked their eyes as they sat up and stared at the other people around them; the scowling blonde man with the eyepatch, the grizzled old man with the large sunglasses, the sour-looking man with the thin beard and rose-colored glasses, and the petulent-looking younger man with dark hair and the kendo outfit. THere was a strange buzzing sound in the background.
THeir hands immediately went for their jackets, patting around, and finding nothing.
"Barely awake and they're already going for their weapons. Oh yeah...tough guys." The older man.
"What are you in for?"
The two newcomers resfused to answer.
"Feh...doesn't make any difference. That fact that you're here speaks volumes."
The two men looked around, growing increasingly alarmed as the situation spiraled out of their accustomed routine. And was that buzzing sound growing louder?
"I'll make this short, because that's likely all we have time for, or, in your case, if I'm any judge of character, less. Welcome to Hell."
The sound defined itself into a rapid series of thunderous wingbeats or rotorcraft sounds. But while what suddenly hove into view overhead was easily as large as an attack vertol, the shape was of something much smaller. Hornets just aren't supposed to grow that large....
