[QUOTE="Mosier, post: 6606754, member: 6776381"] "Trouble incoming," Saint says ominously. "Might want to keep your head down," Skinny adds. "Faster you can get those drones up, the better." Heartbreak takes a momentary glance away from the task at hand to see the monitor with the drone status and locations. There's not enough time. The hijacked drones won't be up before the other two drone teams arrive. A few seconds later, and a voice comes over the radio. "Control, this is Team 2. I need a face-to-face with a logistics officer at the Security office door in the next ten seconds, or we're coming in hot." The team can see two security employees outside the office, on the security camera screens. They both have guns drawn, and their drones are arranged in formation around them. There's a few seconds of silence before a female voice comes over the Runners' comlinks. Casper says, "I'm in position at the mixing vats, but there's a lot of feet on the ground here. Any chance you can whip up a distraction?" As if on queue, Heartbreak activates the console, and the security drones power down and fall lifelessly to the floor in the hallway outside the office. [I]One way or the other, Casper is sure to get her distraction. [/I] The radio in the office comes to life again. "All Security personnel, 4-4-5 in the dispatch office! Weapons deployed!" It's the team 2 leader's voice, with a slightly-hysterical edge to it. Apparently he doesn't care that the transmission can be heard by his enemies in the office. True to his word, the security goon opens the door from the outside. The camera shows him gathering a breath right before charging through, his comrade close behind...
