With any luck Douane will take over before this little side story thingy ends. Not that I'll run out of ideas though, I'm just worried about putting more bumps than game posts in the thread.]Kevin stirred, it seemed like no time had passed. Was he dreaming faster than real life was passing? More or less irrelevant really, he was firmly entrenched in the urge to nap and slipped into the same dream from before, picking up where he left off.Four and Six had witnessed what had happened through the security camera. Four jumped in his seat in surprise as feed from all the foyer cameras suddenly cut out.“Seven, respond!” Six called through the radio, “Seven, respond!”There was no reply for a few seconds, but eventually a voice crackled through.“What happened?” One’s voice replied.“We think it was some kind of anti-personnel mine, sir. It took out all the security cameras in the foyer, and probably Seven, Eight and Nine too,” Six explained, "From what they were saying I think they had found Twelve."Four was struggling with wiring, futilely trying to get the foyer cameras back on from this end.“Ten and Eleven, get to the foyer. I want to know what happened. Hustle!” One’s voice barked out of the radio, “Four and Six, make sure it doesn’t happen again. I’m sending Three to give you a hand keeping an eye on all those monitors.”Ten gave an affirmative, and another one was given by Six a moment later.“One must be pretty p<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=":)" />ssed off,” she said to Four as she tried to keep track of the remaining monitors.“Good for him, make sure the door’s locked, I don’t want any surprises,” he replied, as he climbed his way out from behind the cabled area behind the monitors, “I’d say the whole foyer’s fubar.”Six nodded in agreement and turned to walk over to the door. On the monitor for the security room hallway, just behind her, something was quickly moving towards their position. It left the camera’s view as quickly as it entered it. Six’s hand was inches from the lock when the door opened.It was like Ten and Eleven had stepped into an urban battlefield. Pools of molten glass were still cooling on the pavement in front of the building, everything that wasn’t disintegrated from the flash of heat and light was scorched or melted beyond recognition. Four piles of ash and wilted metal objects marked the locations of the team members who were in the room at the time of detonation. The melted cameras previously in question had oozed a fair distance down the walls before Ten and Eleven had arrived."Holy sh<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=":)" />t," Ten breathed in disbelief, "Looks like the ammo they were carrying exploded in it's casings.""One, the foyer's pretty messed up. Four casualties at a guess, likely some kind of plasma or laser charge, sir. Nothing's left," Eleven announced over the radio.Even though radio isn't a brilliant means of conveying emotion, One's voice still managed to ooze with frustration after background static had had its way with it."Leave it then, and start setting up erasers. Meet up with me at the computer lab once you're done," he said, "And watch your backs."It wasn't just time which was against them.</blockquote>
