In a Secret SAP Lab, Same Facility
Neutron
Vida seems to understand what you're saying. Quickly you step out and cut loose a disintegrating blast of energy.
Attack roll: 20 hits (-8 from armor)
The blast is effective, leaving the armor hole filled and pock marked. Vida immediately steps in front of you, raises her hand, palm outward, and a visible wave of energy sweeps out, catching the same guard fully and sending him flying backwards to lay slumped against the elevator door. Vida keeps her palm facing the remaining guard.
The remaining guard says, obviously in communication with the other guards, "Chavez is down! We need reinforcements!" He levels his arm cannon at Vida and lets loose a pair of energy pulses. One streaks over her head and yours, while the other looks like it will hit her in the stomach, then suddenly changes direction and slams into her palm. The pulse reflects back, striking the guard sending him staggering back in a daze.
You start to feel odd, but not in a bad way. You are breathing easier, your muscles don't ache, and you are starting to regain your equilibrium. You would attribute it to the adreniline rush of a life and death struggle, but ever since that IV came out, you've been feeling better and stronger.
Neutron is up!

Outside the SAP Research Facility
Johan
The radio crackles again as you tweak it to send your message, and then Loco comes through quite clearly, speaking animatedly in Portuguese. The message, untranslated, is broadcast through all of your communicators.
Comprehend check: 22 succeeds
Translated from Portuguese: "I am not in the tunnel! Ghost killed that cat-girl and was going to kill the Demon boy so I collapsed the tunnel on Ghost and his truck. I just managed to dig myself out but am too injured to dig the Demon boy out. If he is injured, or worse, trapped beneath rocks, he won't have much time left! Get here quickly!"
Michelle
The guard who you talked to before seems to get a radio message from his counterparts below.
"The other team has reported in. About five hundred meters in, the tunnel has been collapsed. They've used scanners and it is sealed by rock and earth for at least another five hundred meters. We have no digging tools for a job of that size, especially in a subterranean tunnel, so hopefully your teammates were able to get out the other side," the guard informs you.
"Bloody hell!" SJ's dad exclaims. "Let's find that hot chick and get some action going on this!"
"Oh, there you are," comes a voice from down the hall. Pavo comes hurrying up to you. "I have some news. I've just been informed by Ms. Price that I'm needed back in Brazilia. The facility doctor also told me that Neutron has been flown ahead to an SAP medical facility in Brazilia." He pauses, shaking his head a moment. "You will have to forgive me. My last instructions were confusing for me, especially with your missing team mates, but with the facility breech and a containment problem in the lower levels, the facility will be locked down. Only essential personel are to remain. And I cannot find Vida anywhere to drive you."
Just then, Loco's non-translated message comes through on your communicator.
Straightjacket
You and Anna are wheeled out of the facility and into a waiting jet. Other than the crew of the plane and one medic, no medical personel go with you, though Johan, or one of his duplicates, comes with you. The plane is quickly prepped for take-off, which is when Loco's message comes through your communicators without translation.
Loki
Just as Ms. Price walks out, your earpiece delivers Loco's non-translated message.
