Here's another bump to keep the game in easy reach when he gets back.]Kevin jerked awake when he semi-conciously realised that he was asleep, and continued to listen to what the accountant had to say. It wasn't much different from before, though the content had changed, the tone of voice he'd slipped into was easily driving Kevin along the road to sleep again. The dream he was having... it seemed familiar to him, was it his imagination or had something like that actually happened? Kevin tried to dig back through his memories for a similar event. He made an effort to keep his eyes open, just short of physically holding them open, but he nodded off again.Four and Six arrived at the security room. The door in was wide open, and there was noone inside. They entered, and searched the place thoroughly, but only found one thing of note. Underneath one of the many monitors covering the wall was an empty chocolate bar wrapper. Four raised an eyebrow under his balaclava, after Beta Team's hastened entry it became painfully obvious that something was up, and the most mundane of things seemed to arouse suspicion.“Security room is under our control, we have a visual of everyone’s progress,” Six reported into her headset, and took a seat in front of the camera monitors.Four went to close the door. He took a moment to glance out, but nothing stirred in the hallway. Twelve’s fate was bugging him, apparently he’d just disappeared. Twelve was not a person for sudden disappearances. He took a deep breath, and started to swing the door closed. Suddenly, the lights cut out.A couple of seconds later half the lights came on again.“Main power has been cut, the building’s now on auxiliary,” Eleven said, “Sorry we didn’t give you a heads up about that, people.”Ten shook his head and rolled his eyes as he put away a couple of tools into his electronics kit.Seven’s voice came over the radio, “Make sure it doesn’t happen again.”It was shortly followed by One’s voice, “See what you can do about the power feed to the door, it’s giving us a fair bit of trouble.”One and those with him were currently trying to break through a door into a computer lab, their objective was inside.“I’m workin’ on it, sir,” came Ten’s reply.Six and Four were browsing the monitors when something on one of them caught Four’s eye.“What’s that?” he asked Six, and pointed out something on one of the cameras for the front foyer.“Dunno,” she replied staring at it intently, “That’s where Seven’s headed anyway, let him know.”“Seven, sir, there appears to be something large on the floor of the foyer. In the only angle we can get it from it’s obscured by a pot plant, be careful,” Four said.“Roger that, Four, taking extra caution,” Seven replied.Seven, Eight and Nine cautiously entered the front foyer of the building, and started to sweep the area.“Found something,” Eight soon said, and swung his SMG behind his back, “Looks like Twelve, he’s lying on his stomach. There’s no blood, he might be unconscious, I’m taking a look.”Eight crouched down to flip Twelve over. Seven felt something was very wrong about this. How did Twelve end up in the front foyer? He glanced to the automatic doors but they weren't functioning, main power was cut. It was too late to stop Eight regardless. Eight flipped Twelve over, and there was a loud click as a circular object covered in small lenses launched itself about five feet into the air.“Sh-“ Nine realised what it was.There was a blinding flash, then nothing.[ooc: I'm not terribly familiar with Mechwarrior things, but I figured a kind of laser mine would be possible in the time period, though expensive (like all other laser stuff). That and it'd look kewler than a standard kinda mine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />]</blockquote>
