In the red–lit darkness the sounds of men shouting orders in anger echoed loudly. Behind Rook came the sound of booted feet pounding against the concrete floor. It sounded as if the soldiers that he had rushed past when he had breached the room were already consolidating their scattered forces in an attempt to co–ordinate an assault. They hung back at the shattered doorway, taking cover, bunkering in. No one had invaded the room yet, but it was likely only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, over the comm line, Breakdown sounded startled.
“That the little gunslinger?” he said. “Good! That’s the one I was looking for. Get her outta there with you and wait for me to join up. I’ll take her from there. Thanks for the damage report,” he added grimly. “Because now that I know what shape she’s in, if I get there and discover one scratch on her that doesn’t look like came from MECH, I’ll take it outta your hide.”
The comm cut off.
“Hospitable fellow,” said Wash. “Trying to find any other sites now. I hate to say it, but from what I’ve seen so far it doesn’t look like Air Raid is here. No one is responding in any direction other than yours and Breakdown’s, and you’d think if they were scrambling to save their precious specimens they’d be sending out a large team to usher him someplace secured. Did find out one thing though: looks like they had one more Deception held prisoner her. But they shipped it out by truck a few days ago and it woke up and tore out of the transport and escaped. So that’s one less body you need to worry about retrieving.”
There was an uncomfortable pause over the line.
“There’s, er, one other thing I should mention. It looks like Starscream is on–site as well.”
