"Discon-"

The bestial roars doubled their echoes.

"Out break."

Seventeen troopers stirred in their places. Their guns rested between homemade firing slats, safeties unlocked, tensing rigid in formation. They wore the industrial livery of the 23rd Server Regiment: camoflauge armor mixtured with cool greys over a black fatigues and black combat webbing. Only the sergeants went helmetless, the enlisted wore standard tri-domed helmets and rebreather modifiers. The scurried behind a three foot sandbag trench they had produced that encircled the program station like water around an Island. Auspex stood inside.

"Assess situation in coordiates Ammalla 0, 32" Crackled the radio link.

Another metallic voice answered. "Clear"



Allistiar rubbed the bridge of his nose. He sat with his back to Hawk, face thinning into an unwelcomed frown. His PET hung around his neck, slight echoes from the Trooper noise, swaying pendulumly in the air. The events had soured. Hawk failed to execute his program, failed to secure vulnerable data streams, failed to erase two simple Navis, and now unleashed a Cybeast threat Auspex couldn't combat. Allistiar had tried jacking him out with grim repsonse.

"I can't jack you out yet Auspex."

'I know.'

"If something happens I'll make Hawk pay dearly."

The Navi chuckled. 'I know what lies ahead of me Allistiar. I will hold.'

"I'll get you out Auspex, just give me more time."





The beastil roars began again. Troopers set up in their positions, proning against the sandbags, rifles trained towards the blackened hole. Sergeants gave final orders. Auspex reloaded his rifle and strode to the control window, watching them steel. If today were his last--time willing--he would die in the trench.

"Intercept Delcon..."

"Out break, K-19 subjugation."

'I'm ready' Auspex said.
