Who's lying? "That's what we were told was going to happen. If one of my people is in danger, my place is with him."
Paragon crouches down, “Quite a ways down, Alpha and Bravo squad head down, be prepared for heavy elite supported resistance.” The sounds of gunfire filter into the hallway.
“Commander, report?” Paragon says putting a hand to his UNJE issued shades.
“I don’t think we have time to argue about…” he trails, “Wait can you confirm that Commander? I am not about to call this whole bloody operation on the account of your daughter. Standby and keep Legacy from making a mess of things.” Paragon glances over his shoulder at Mark, “Mark your sentiment is noble, but you picked the worst possible time to act on your misguided instincts.”
Paragon pauses once more, “I see. Take him out, we need to salvage something out of this disaster.”
There is a sound of an explosion and a blast of concussive force, powerful enough to make both elites stumble.
Outside
Clover’s father replies, “I am not at liberty to discuss mission details, but rest assured we have only the best interests for all parties involved.”
“I am sure you do,” Bishop’s voice calls down, the British terrorist looking down from one of the towers, “But I guess that would depend on the parties involved. Legacy isn’t one to be trifled with, and by your show of restraint it is obvious you know that you are outmanned and outgunned. There is nothing you can do short of calling Paragon that could stop them.”
Kiyana shrinks slightly from the rebuke, “But I just ant to find James, if he isn’t here then why stay, Bishop is right they can’t stop us. They know it, we can leave her with them… she isn’t one of us,” she says gesturing to Clover.
Bishop continues, “But why be so evasive Commander, if the UNJE has nothing to hide then let Legacy help, save yourself the trouble and avoid any unwanted violence. Unless you do have something to hide, which given the UNJE’s track record is the most likely course of action-”
*KRAKA-BOOM*
There is an explosion as one of the aerodyne’s becomes visible long enough to launch two air to surface missiles directly into the portion where Bishop was standing. Now is just a flaming wreck of stone, slag, and smoke.
Commander speaks, “Remain calm, we just need to retrieve the body.”
Sami looks wide-eyed, “Did they kill him?”
The teens are knocked off their feet from the concussive shock of the blast… though uninjured thankfully for the moment.
Inside the Bunker
Dust falls from the ceiling as the structure shudders from the sound of another explosion.
Karen
Upon seeing Karen rip the weapon apart with her bare hands and the ineffectual bullets against her diamond skin the men throw down their weapons in fear and awe. Of course the force of the blast knocks them down as the night goes bright for a brief moment, after Bishop’s impromptu and now cutoff speech.
Karen of course is not fazed, and stands like a rock amidst the storm of chaos.
