The food table shuddered from the thump of explosions. Hot coffee tipped over and spileld into the sandwiches, pictures and maps flew from their wall posts, and anything unbolted from the ground shook. Auspex placed his cup down, grabbing his rifle, loaded a bullet into the chamber.
"Oh," Another rumbling explosion paused him. "Good. More company."
"Tactical Situations East Wing, Code 911 and 313. Acknowledge and advise." The micro bead link said. Troopers were answering the exlposions. "Unconfirmed movements, counter assualt."
Light, muffled gunfire seeped into the room. "Whoever it is keep them away from the hangars. Platoons Alpha and Centauri remain at the Necrophylus platform." He spoke into the bead. Turning to Pyro and Slash, he sighed. "Looks like you get your wish Dumb Dumb, we're leaving. Now."
Auspex returned to the bead. "Press into it. Keep them back."
"Acknowledged." The voice replied. "Verify Code Decipher."
"Ohpidium."
Outside in the Navi platforms, the Urban Iken had abandoned their posts. Noise of gunfire grew louder. The Navis below murmured, some whimpered, but remained in their line.
Auspex opened the door leading towards the Necrophylus Platforms. An explosion blew out the overhead windows above him and a Troopers limp body flew onto the platform floor. "Target outside, targets outside, surround and contain." Blipped the bead.
"Are you two just going to sit there?" He spat at Slash and Pyroman, "Get your rears in gear we gotta get into Necrophylus."
