[Northwestern Mountain/Northwestern Airspace]

"Oh, fu-" This time the soldier isn't so lucky, getting grabbed around the torso, but does two things simultaneously in an effort to break free.

With the luck to keep his arms free, he first flicks something on his plasma pistol and fires a particularly charged shot point-blank into the limb grabbing him. Next, he tries to stab the superheated blade as deep as he can into the offending limb, on the same spot he shot.

Hopefully that causes enough pain to make the thing let go.

(Attacks attempted, of course, but I figure at this range in this situation it doesn't really matter much.)
