Jethro remained silent after her last comment only focusing on the corridor, only after a moment did he see it. a small lightened area down near the end that shouldn't be there and then a full beam of light cut into it. He checked his pistole and readied it.

"how long till the lights come back on?"

He thought for a moment.

"Better yet how long till the operating system is restored?"

Meanwhile Kevin had made it to the armoury and was stocking several weapons and gear and handing them out to his team.

"Alright we're gonna head back to Jethro, weapons on stun not kill and there is no likely to be resistance on the way so unless we're at the core where Jethro is if it moves and not us, shoot it."

He handed everyone on his team a small device.

"Don't lose these either, they are FFAs as in Freindly Fire Averters as long as they are set to the same frequency you weapon cannot fire if pointed at a body equipped with another one on that frequency. lets move out."
Hello darkness, my old friend,

"Five minutes. I'd say two but this terminal is slow. But definitely two minutes for the lights at least. If I have it all turn on at once, it'll be slower. Why?" she asked, turning to him, her strokes never stopping, but she paused when she saw what looked like a cutting torch. "Oh." She turned back to the monitor. "How long till they get through?"

"It'll take a few minutes and there won't be anything we can do about them but there may be something we can do with the surface problems. for starters we can quarantine the individual sectors off from each other, make the fights smaller. lock all the doors. there will be casualties on both sides but right now it's gonna happen regardless. We can also give the guards a fighting chance to retake everything by disabling the nontons meaning only guns will be usable and only by the owner. A little feature I added myself."

Meanwhile Kevin and his team were moving through the corridors with his team weapons at the ready, ahead he could see movement and motioned for everyone to stop.

"Lights off."

with only the soft glow of the emergency light strips along the floor they watched as several men ran past them and could start to hear screaming and fighting.

"well that's a whole new problem. Ferals. how the hell did they get in?"

Jethro could hear them as well.

"With the power out the grid has a momentary power fail. meaning we could have ferals inside the colony from the dead zone. unavoidable but now a problem."

Riley went to work on just that, her fingers flying across the keys, eyes darting back and forth. Suddenly a problem arose as a warning came on screen. "Son of a bitch! ZERO is trying to shut me down entirely. Don't distract me," she said firmly without looking at Jethro. The message was clear enough. The last thing she wanted was people hindering her progress, especially those needing her help. She had to pull a miracle out of her great ass to win this one. These guys were good individually, but as a group, or rather an army, it was a nightmare to fight off. "You bastards don't know who you're fucking with." Last thing one person should ever deal with is a pissed off woman.

Not a second sooner, the lights turned on, and Riley drowned out the sound of the cutting torch. She was moving faster, but what was motivating her? Perhaps it was the fact ZERO tried messing with her.

Meanwhile, while ferals attacked unsuspecting corrupt guards, another force came barreling at the necros, the sounds of decaying flesh being crushed and destroyed. In the dark, Kelvin could see a pair of lightly glowing eyes and a figure in white. Sessue stood amongst the bodies and turned to where he knew Kelvin was.

"Require any assistance?" he asked, face expressionless. He had gone and finished his own errand already and rushed to meet with either group when he noticed a breech of ferals. Last thing anyone needed was an infection spreading.

Kelvin stood up and eased his weapon.

"Saved us having to deal with him. lets move the sooner we regroup with Jethro the better off this situation goes."

Jethro thought to himself, who or what was Zero and if he knew what Riley was doing and could get into the system easily he wondered what else he knew when things got under control he'd have a few questions for her. the first would be how to track this Zero down.

"We'll have to make a severe note of sanitizing the facility when this is all done," Sessue muttered, leading the way to the generator.

Riley paused in her strokes, then resumed after a second of thought. Her codes changed, integrating her own cold with another. Not only was she sicking ROBIN on ZERO, she was using a code she hadn't used in a long time, but she had never forgotten a single digit of that code. Suddenly the blue lights turned a light minty green, lighting up the entire facility. She wouldn't stop here though--couldn't stop. On the monitor, one could see she was battling the opposing force. Her blue against their red. She began pinpointing their source of attack until she blew up their control and used their own weapons against them.

"Fuck you," she muttered with a smirk, but that smirk quickly disappeared when the cutting torch stopped and she heard them kick down the door. "I need more time! I need two minutes!"

Jethros first shot landed square in one of their faces.

"You got one."

He opened fire as they returned fire lighting up the hallway. Jethros only two advantages were cover and a lethal setting on his gun. Both he was going to use.

"Backup would be nice right about now, where the hell are they."

How much longer till we reach Jethro?"

Kelvin asked as they moved through the corridors.

"By the way"

He tossed a few of the packs to Sessue.

"FFAs, He'll be using lethal rounds it'll be better if he isn't able to shoot us thinking we're the enemy."

Sessue regarded the device with small disdain. "People make mistakes are not an excuse...but I suppose caution is necessary." Equipping it, he stopped, then ran. "Shots fired! Hostiles in the area! It's coming from the generator room!"

A bead of sweat ran down the side of her face as she continued to work. "Damn it all!" She managed to do the job she set out to do in a matter of 50 seconds, doing a small cheer when systems came back online. "Now to make sure they can't fuck with it again," she said as she began to integrate ROBIN into the system for increased protection. That was until a a stun blast ricocheted off the wall and grazed her arm, destroying the screen. "F-fuck!" she cussed, suddenly feeling whoozy. Struggling to stay standing, she gripped the panel for support, but her right arm was now useless and she slipped to the floor. She blinked at the ceiling in immense pain but couldn't feel her arm.

"Fuck," she repeated.

Jethro looked at her but quickly went back to returning fire.

"It's just a stun shot, you'll be fine but a little numb and dizzy for a few minutes nothing can be done about it."

Kelvin rounded the corner to see a large group of guards trying to force their way into the core..

"I'll handle this, men one shot each."

Him and his squad took the lead each raising their weapons and unloading into the group ahead of them while moving forward.

"Defensive positions."

He walked over to the door that had been forced open.

"Jethro you in there?"

Jethro lowered his gun and looked out from behind the barricade.

"it's about time. I was about to run out of bad guys to shoot. Riley's been hit but she'll be fine."

Riley muttered obscenities of a colourful variety by the time Kelvin and his men filed in. Sessue arched a brow at the girl lying on the floor. "Comfy?"

"Fuck you."

"You're not my type," he drawled. "I see the system has been restored."

"Temporarily," she replied with a grunt. "I was going to reinforce the system with ROBIN, but the screen got shot before I could finish. ZERO could bust in again at any time unless there's another terminal with full access."

"This would be the only one"

replied Jethro.

"this location is so secure that they never thought another would be needed. is it just a monitor you need or did they scramble anything else?"

"Jethro? I heard someone got hit in there is everything alight?"

it was Trans voice.

"Riley's been shot with a stun otherwise we're fine.

"Well nothing I can do about that."

Jethro looked at Riley waiting an answer to his question. if he was going to send someone out to find things it needed to be a complete list.

"Somebody help me up...I'm starting to get some feeling back." Sessue hesitated until Kelvin seemed to comply in his place. "Thanks, stud." With him supporting her weight, she used her left hand to see if anything needed replacing. "Looks like we struck some luck. It didn't short out the system when it hit the monitor, so I think that's all." She looked at all the lights, see that they were blinking normally. "Yeah, that's all. I just need a monitor. Hell, if you have a video comm, I can hardwire that to display that shit for me. I would need some precision tools though and a particular cable for that though."

"Monitor might be faster to replace they're all over the place. Kelvin get to work on that. at least that was the only thing. Now time to answer something else. who or what is Zero?"

He was going to leave no give on this question he wanted the truth with all the details.

"Can we stop them from here? can we locate and apprehend them? Can we at least cripple their systems?"

Riley leaned against Kelvin tiredly. "They're assholes with money, skill, and an army of hackers with lust for blood and chaos. They're also power hungry, and anybody who goes against them usually ends up dead. They're every decent hacker's nightmare. They're terrorists. They're like...Uber-Evil-Anonymous. Otherwise known as the very same bastards who led the cops to..." she trailed off. Everyone else in the room might have been confused, but Jethro would have immediately understood the fact that Cillian and Carlos wouldn't have been found. They weren't careless like that. No, someone else had led the cops to them, being the reason they ended up killed in the raid.

Tran took over for Kelvin as he went off to find a monitor.

"Weaknesses? can we hit their funding? them directly? can we identify them?"

One more thought occurred to him.

"Did they use an outside Satlink or a direct Satlink?"

Tran knew what he was thinking. anything outside of Savium and Rigel meant it came from another source which would be harder but a direct link can mean they had to either be on the planet or on Rigel which narrowed a search list down to about 100,000 people.
