DMR’s head slumps in his seat “I realize that. I know that my parents, my family will never come back no matter what I do. But that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive the Chat Empire for what they did to not only me, but this entire galaxy. I’ve been training most of my life to confront this menace, this plague called the Chat. Sure, people might look at me and see a monster, but I can live with that. What I can’t leave with is letting the Chat get away with everything they have done. Karl, for now I will fight along side you, but when the Chat is defeated, I will make those who were responsible for my families death pay. That does include you, Karl.”

Karl “As long as you are willing to help me bring down the Chat Empire, I’ll even hold the gun for you as you pull the trigger.”

DMR “This doesn’t mean I have forgiven you.”

Karl “I understand.”

Stephens “Hallway clear.”

Mike “Moving up, cover me.”

Stephens “Roger that.” The two move down the hallway, slowly, making sure not to get spotted by anyone or anything.”

Mike “Hold it.”

Stephens “What is it?”

Mike “Camera. Don’t worry though, I’ll disable it from here.” Mike opens up his wrist pad and wirelessly takes the camera offline, for a few seconds. “It’s recording as if nothing is still there, let’s move now.” The two move past the camera and Mike returns the camera to normal.

Stephens “Nice job.”

Jess “Mike, Stephens, report. Are you their yet over?”

Mike “Almost, why?”

Jess “We are at the sub 15th floor and we found a short cut down to the 39th floor. However, we need a pass code to get in. If you can turn the power off, we can insert a bug and get to manually override the system.”

Mike “Okay, give us a minute, we are here over.”

Stephens “Oh crap. It’s a pass code with an iris scanner.”

Mike “Okay, I’ll get to work on this pass code. I’ll have to hack into and pull out a pass code. Stephens, go and find an officer or someone who looks like they would need access to this room.”

Stephens “Okay, you want the whole body or just their eye?”

Mike “If you can get their entire eye ball that would be great.”

Stephens “Okay, let’s hope neither one of us gets caught.” Stephens move quietly down a hallway and comes across a conference room. Inside are two guards and a female scientist. To himself “I can’t believe I’m going to have to cut out her eye. Alright focus. Now, how do I get them closer to the door so I don’t have to shoot them. Last thing I need is a blood trail.” Stephens looks up and sees them heading towards the door. He waits, noticing that the door opens inwards. As soon as one of the guards opens the door, Stephens hits it with all his might, knocking the one guard out. He punches the scientist and then quickly moves to the other guard. He disarms him before quickly taking out one of his legs. He them moves in behind the guard and snaps his neck before returning to the female scientist, who is still dazed. He picks her up by her head, covering her mouth “I’m sorry for this.” Her eyes go wide before he slams her head down on the table. He checks her pulse, she is only knocked out as he pulls out his knife. He stares at the blade and then back at her “Fuck me.”

Mike is still trying to hardwire his way past the security measures, constantly checking to make sure unwanted discovers him. “Damnit Stephens, where are you? How long does it take to bring my back an eye ball?” He continues to try to unlock it until finally he sees his screen light up green “Success. Stephens, I’m ready, where are you?”

Stephens “I’m coming, ran into a little roadblock.” Stephens leaves the room, putting the two guards into a locker closet. He slowly moves back down the hallways, making sure he is alone “Good thing those wireless jammers are paying off. Mike, I’m right around the corner.”

Mike “Roger that.” He looks up and sees Stephen coming up, with the scientist over his shoulder “What part of just the eye did you not understand?”

Stephens “I couldn’t kill her okay?”

Mike, chuckling “Cause she’s a woman?”

Stephens “I saw the look in her eyes, she doesn’t want bloodshed okay? She is just here to do her job.”

Mike “Whatever, open her eye and make sure the scanner picks up here iris.” Stephens opens her eyelid and the system scans her eye and the light goes green, causing the door to open. “Jess come in, we have opened the...”

A Chat trooper walks by “Hey, what are yo...” Stephens fires two shots from his UAP45, dropping the trooper.

Stephens “Shit.”

Jess “What the hell what that?”

Mike “We got access to the power room but we just had tag a baddy.” Mike turns off his coms and hears footsteps coming towards them “We have been compromised. We are turning off the power, get ready for the next phase ma’am.”

Jess “Wait, what do you mean you’ve been compromised?” The building goes dark and Jess’s USB over rides the controls and opens the door.

Trent “Door’s open, let’s go.” The three move in but Jess can’t shake the terrible feeling in her chest as the red back up lights come online.

Stephen opens fire as three troops see the dead body. “Mike, we need to either regroup with the team or set up a defensive position. Your call.”

Back on board the Banshee, Karl and DMR are still continuing their discussion. DMR “Why is it that Heathcliff hates you people so much? I mean, his beef should be with the old Chat Nation, not with the Empire.”

Karl “It’s because we gave Knightmare power in our government.”

DMR “So did you know what Knightmare did to Miku?”

Karl “No, we all thought it was a cyborg he had created. However, even after everything, I do not think he was in the wrong. Heathcliff was in hiding for 50 years while Knightmare took care of his comatose sister. We all have skeletons in our closets and this is Heathcliff’s. As long as he doesn’t get in our way or do anything to set us back, I don’t really care what he does.”

DMR “So what are your skeletons?”

Karl “hehehe, I have a few.”

DMR “And you don’t care to share them with me?”

Karl “Well...”

Blue, interrupting him “Sir we’ve been compromised.”

Karl “HOW?!?!”

Blue “Their power is out but their local coms are still online. I can jam their external radios so they can’t call in back up.”

Karl “Hold it, don’t do that until they try to get outside help. Once their signal goes off line, the Chat will be here in five minutes. Jess needs as much time as possible now.”

DMR “What the heck is going on down there?”

Karl “Nothing she can’t handle”

DMR “Bullshit, I should be down there with them?”

Karl “In your condition? You would have blown their cover before they even got inside. Blue, keep eyes on the Chat coms and once they try to get outside help, you know what to do. Tell Jess once she gets everything she needs to go with plan B before she leaves.”

Blue “Why is that sir.”

Karl “I can’t shake this feeling they aren’t alone. The Chat troops seem preoccupied with something else in there.”

DMR “You think...”

Karl “No, but I didn’t life this long because I jumped the gun. I can’t react slowly anymore, not if I want to stay one step ahead of everyone else.”

Blue “Jess, you’re team is almost at the end of the express elevator. Stop on the 38th floor and escape through the roof. The Chat is expecting you on the 39th, with HK-droids and rangers along with normal troops. I’ve got Mike and Stephens going to communications center to destroy it. One more thing, once you get all the data, plan B is a go.”

Jess “Are you sure Blue?”

Blue “Orders from Karl himself.”

Jess “Okay, thanks Blue, Jess out.” She hits the emergency break and it stops below the 38th level. “Trent, Blake, we are going to hit the Chat from above. We need to get the drop on them. Blake, we are going to need those shock grenades to stun both the humans and robotic troops. Trent and I will mop them up. Once that is done, we insert the chip, get all the data it can hold, set up plan B, and then escape through the nearby service tunnel on the 40th floor. Our cover is gone but the Chat doesn’t know where we will hit them from. Any questions?”

Trent and Blake “No ma’am.”

Jess “Okay, let’s get this done.”

Mike and Stephens fight their way through Chat troops, trying to reach the coms room. Mike “You holding up buddy?”

Stephens “Yea, though plasma burns like a bitch though. My shielding unit is destoyed but I can still fight.” Stephens fires his SMG, forcing a Chat soldier to take cover. Mike, armed with a AR20MC, provides covering fire as the duo move into a stairway. Mike opens the door and gets rifle butted by a chat trooper. As he falls backwards, Stephens turns around lights up the soldier. “Mike, come one get up, we need to keep moving.”

Mike stands up with a cracked helmet screen “I’m fine, I’m fine.” The door closes as a grenade blasts it off it’s hinges. “Shit, that was close.”

Stephens “Which floor is this on?”

Mike “The 6th, and we are on the 12th. Hope you’re ready to run up six flights of stairs.”

Stephens “Let’s just get going.”

Jess, Trent, and Blake move quietly through the 38th floor, waiting for the right moment. Seeing two guards on patrol, Jess takes both out quickly while Trent and Blake get into position to ambush the Chat from above. Jess “Are you two in position to strike?”

Blake “Where are Mike and Stephens?”

Trent “I guess they didn’t get to the coms room yet.”

Jess “Hey you two, focus. They can handle themselves. We are all walking out of here today.” Leaning against a wall over looking the data room, Trent sets up a wall charge, while Blake readies two shock grenades. Jess about five feet from the wall “On three. One, Two, Three.”
