Connor: "We're being attacked"

Snoe: "What!?"

They feel the submarine shake like something hit it.

Snoe: "Are we in danger?"

Connor: "That's kind of the point of an attack, isn't it? To put someone else in danger?"

Snoe: "What do we have to do in case of an attack?"

Connor: "You can't fight yet, you just don't have the skill. For now, just hide behind me until I can find a good place to hide you. Now, follow me into my room so I can put on my equipment"

They walk in his room. His room has everything that her room has, but customized to what he likes. It's all colored red and grey. He walks to his dresser and opens the top drawer. He pulls out military grade armor and puts it on. It covers his entire body, his helmet has cameras on it, so even his face is covered. He can still speak well though.

Connor: "Call Chris. I'm talking to the suit, by the way. You won't be able to hear him, sorry"

Connor grabs an assault rifle and a pistol from the wall. He hands the pistol to Snoe.

Connor: "You know how to use a gun?"

Snoe: "I know enough, I hope"

Connor: "Can you shoot it, cock it, and reload it?"

Snoe: "Yeah"

Connor: "Then that'll do for now. Chris answered. How far are you? ... Yeah, she's with me right now ... Okay, she'll be with me until you get back here, see you soon.. He hung up"

Snoe: "What'll we do until he gets back?"

Connor: "He is going to be here in a few minutes. Until then, we wait here"

Connor closes the door to his room.

Connor: "I think this is an invasion. If that's so, then at any moment we'll hear them somewhere. Listen for them carefully and be quiet"

They wait a few minutes, then hear people climbing the ladder. They look at each other, then back at the door. They hear rooms below them being broken into, and the residents of those rooms fighting back. The intruders seem to be winning, until someone above Connor's room opens their door and jumps down to enter the fight. That person ended the fight quick and continued into the cafe. A few seconds after that guy left, someone slowly climbs the ladder and stops in front of Connor's room. They can hear and see the doorknob wiggle. When the guy figures out the door is locked, there is a pause. Then, they hear the sound of him picking the lock. Connor signals for Snoe to stay put. He walks to the door and prepares for when it opens. The door slowly opens. Connor quickly reaches around the door and grabs the guy by his neck, causing the guy to drop his lock pick. He lifts him up and throws him on the floor in their room. Snoe can see he has no weapons.

Connor: "Why do you have no weapon, and why is your company invading our base?"

Enemy Soldier: "They wouldn't give me a weapon and they told me my job was just to carry things. They said if I didn't come back with enough, that they would kill me"

Another enemy soldier comes up the ladder and points his gun at the first enemy soldier.

Enemy Soldier 2: "You just told them why we're here? Really?"

Enemy Soldier 1 turns around and looks at 2 with fright. Enemy Soldier 2 pulls the trigger and shoots Soldier 1 in the head. He falls to the floor.

E. Soldier 2: "Don't worry, I don't treat all my comrades like that. He was just trying to earn his freedom from us, and he failed terribly. I will have to take his body back with me though, considering he is an arctic fox, so if you'll excuse me"
