"Kim, what's this bullshit about Hoffman's operation, and his resonator?" Kim stops for a moment after we hit the bottom steps of the place. It seemed like this place was getting boring, I hated going through this building it seemed to be endless.

"It'll map the underground network. Then we can find the Locust and tare their heart out." My stomach twisted when Kim said that. What happens if I don't want any of this? I guess I don't have a damn choice anymore. I've taken orders from my mother Queen Myrrah endlessly.
All of them seemed decent, they had their flaws, just like me. But they seemed great, not how mother described them. Even when I share the same structure of a human's body.

"Uh-huh." Marcus says, not believing that the plan would work.

"Control, this is Delta. Has the signal cleared up?" Marcus questions, communicating to Breanne's sister.

"Yes, the signal has cleared up where your current location stands. Stand by for Alpha." Anya suggested to Marcus as we waited for the communication to connect with Alpha.

"This is Alpha! Where the hell are you guys?!" A man yelled from the other line making me want to rip the communicator out from my ear!

"Baird! Oh shit, man. Where have you been?!" Cole responds, relived to hear from his team.

"Alpha this is Kim, Delta and Hitman are in the House of Sovereigns." Kim lets Baird know on the other line. Who was Baird and Alpha? He seemed a bit sarcastic. Breanne followed me to the balcony areas of the building. I looked around outside for where Alpha could be. On a rooftop? On the roads? In one of the deserted buildings? Dom corner covers around one of the pillars.

"That's great! We're pinned down by troikas on your rooftop!" Baird raises his voice with a very sarcastic voice.

"Sit tight, Alpha." Elizabeth orders Alpha.

"We're not going anywhere m'am. How can we? We are stuck on a damn rooftop!" The man yells making me growl in annoyance.

Scarlett sits down on one of the red, fancy sofa's and takes a minute to relax. Elizabeth and Cole sit across from Scarlett and start to chat. Marcus rolled his eyes every time this...Baird guy spoke. Scarlett pulled out a metalic-flask from her coat and took a drink from it.

"Scar, this isn't the time to relax." Cyclone says, keeping a tight grip on his sword.

"Ya, ya, but when is a girl able to relax. Have of the things we do here: takes a lot of momentum." Scarlett makes a very good point. How long does the team get to rest?

Cyclone quietly makes his way over to the door. He jumps back a bit after he see's red sparks go down the next door that was on the right hand side.

"Hostiles!" Cole yells, Scarlett falls off the couch, quickly readying herself for the attack. That was sure unexpected!

Scarlett takes out a frag grenade and starts to swing it. The grenade starts swinging repeatedly and starts to gain speed.  The door fly's open and she tossed it wherever she saw movement.

'I've told you guys before! Fall back!'. I yell in my mind and started the communication thread.

'This isn't your call, Ronin. I've been asked to take over, if you do not stand down and let me do my job. Then: we'll have a big problem.' A deep voice says. 

'And who are you to defy my orders?' I question, the voice seemed familiar. But of course I cannot see them. I took cover where the balcony was, where the others started to unleash fire on the opposite end of the place then where I was.

'General Raam, your lady ship.' He mocks. I growl at his response.

'Then I'll take our matters to the Queen.'  I suggest hearing a dark laugh.
