Ambiance: Uprising
In the Security Station
Emile cracks the first smile to reach his eyes in quite some time. The weapon slides from the holster but the sound doesn't make it to the guards' ears before it is fired at the one who hit him.
DING! The bullet ricochets off the metal wall. The guard's smirk is short, however as Hansel brings up his new sleek laser rifle and shoots him glancing across the upper arm
(-3). For the first time, the two guards realize their third companion is unconscious on the floor and their friend Hansel is behind them shooting at them with their own laser rifles.
"Code Zed! Code Zed!" yells the front guard into his wrist and then the two of them charge together at Hansel. The force of their impact catches Hansel off guard and he goes down backwards, landing prone in the middle of the room next to his first now-unconscious victim.
The Hallway, just left of the Welcome Center
Taavi, Shadrach, and Dantes sprint down the hallway towards their left.
We should stay together, Taavi says. He hurries behind Shadrach and Dantès, flipping the pistol's safety off as he runs.
Shadrach calls back over his shoulder:
"Bal, you've got the guards with the drones, right?"
As his drone crashes to the floor,
Báleygr extends his arm and aims carefully, a thin tube of cartilage opening and protruding from the back of his hand. He lines up a careful shot at the guard's head while they're mysteriously unaware of him, but the man turns at the last moment and the fish-barb launched from the tube goes just past his ear.
"There!" the guards yell as Bal is revealed, all shooting at him with their pistols. Two shots go wide, but the third hits center mass
(-4), scorching through his armored undersuit and sizzling the flesh beneath.
The Hallway, outside the Security Station
Taavi, Shadrach, and Dantes run down the hallway, past the medical center and towards the open bulkhead door just beyond. Just then, however, two guards come running out of the security center door, stun rods in one hand and laser pistols drawn in the other.
