Bae was, metaphorically at least, caught between a rock and a hard place.

It was pretty sure it could fight one of them but any more than that, like there was now, was serious trouble. It mentally calculated it's chances of getting out of the door with the Aegis-man and the Trickster thing seeing enough to recognise it later, it didn't like what it came up with, and scanned the room for an alternate means of escape. It didn't see any, that must have been how the corpses in this room became corpses since there were no vents or anything to allow air-flow, and came up with a scratch plan on the spot.
It first punched the Larus person in the face (which felt like puching a wall) who swore and covered his face in an instinctive method of protection. Then it grabbed a grenade off the table, removing the pin and threw it at the Aegis-man and the Trickster thing, who lept back into the corridor, in one smooth movement and darted to the console and pulling out the pda type device, after a moment to check the transfer had finished, to stuff inside itself, giving the grenade time to detonate without harming it. Lastley it shifted it's form to resemble a more alive version of one of the corpses around the table, a scientist presumeabely, and sprinted out of the door past the now surprised Aegis-man and Trickster thing.
It stopped running a few steps away from one of the courtyard doors when it's brain reminded it about the flametraps.
