We were sitting in the cave as we were complementing our next move. "We have to help them." I say as I start pacing around the cave. "How?" Kenji asks which gets me thinking. I perk up in a big brain moment. "Brooklynn can you access the BRAD-X's voice commands?" I ask as she flicks through the diagnostics. "Yes." She replies as I sigh in relief. "See if you can get the BRAD-X to follow Darius commands, with that we can infiltrate the compound without Kash noticing, then we can get those babies out and no one will be none the wiser." I say as everyone nods in agreement. Brooklynn starts to work through the tablet while contacting Darius. The camera shows and he is sitting in a room. "Darius?" Brooklynn says as Darius lifts his head before standing up. "What's up?" He asks. "Ryan has a plan. We are trying to connect voice commands to you. That why you can use the BRAD-X. We are planning on getting in the compound and making away with the babies, but we need your help." Brooklynn says as she finds the command systems. "Just speak your name and I'll download the voice analysis of your voice into the BRAD." Brooklynn says as Darius readies himself. "Darius Bowman." He says clearly as the tablet starts downloading. It completes and we silently cheer on joy. "Got it....try something." Brooklynn says as Darius starts thinking before snapping his fingers. "Jump." He says as the BRAD trills and jumps. We cheer in success.

Night had fallen as we made our way to the compound. The raptors were sleeping soundly as we quietly made our way to the silent fortress. We arrive at the meet point and see a rope drop down from above. We look up and see that Darius had tied the rope to the BRAD-X. Smart move. Kenji makes his way up as I keep my rifle focused on the raptors. Ben follows, then Sammy and Yaz. "Go, I'll cover you." I say to Brooklynn as she climbs up. I follow after her. Halfway up, I see that Brooklynn is focused on the raptors, not noticing, she reaches out and misses the rope and slips down, the rope burns through her fingers as she screams in pain. She accidentally let's go of the rope and falls backwards. I reach out and grab her arm, just before she goes splat on the ground.

I look and see that the raptors are stirred and awaken from their sleep. "Grab hold of me!" I shout out as I pull Brooklynn up, she wraps her arms around my neck and shoulders as I start climbing. I climb faster as the raptors screech and lunge at us but a sudden tug pulls us up faster. Darius and Kenji lean over, and grab hold of us, pulling us over the railing. I notice the BRAD walking backwards. "BRAD, stop." Darius says as the robot stops and beeps. I rush over to Brooklynn who is clutching her hands tightly together. "Let me see." I say as she shakes her head, no. "I can't help if I can't see." I say softly to her as she slowly opens her hands, wincing in pain as air touches the wounds. A huge rope burn is trailed along her palm and the middle of her fingers. She's really lucky that they didn't go further in. "Ben." I say as he rushes over and takes some bandages and spare paste out of his fanny pack. "This is going to sting." I say in warning, with no water on us, we have to work quick. I apply the disinfectant as she grits her teeth in pain. I quickly wrap her hands with the bandage before tying them off. "You ok?" Kenji asks as he sits down next to her. "Keep an eye out, just in case." I say to him as I give them some space.

We enter the compound and make our way down. I get a look of the layout. Seems pretty generic of a multi-billion-dollar business, could have been a little better. We turn a corner and find an elevator. Darius presses to go down as we enter the lift. "This will take you down to the med bay. There is a nursery next to it. He's testing the chips on the babies, first thing tomorrow morning." He says as Brooklynn turns to him. "What about cameras?" Oh shit, that's a good question. "Mr. Genius up there has been too busy to set up the island and facilities security systems." I raise my eyebrow at that, either Kash is really lazy, or God is on our side. "Message me as soon as you get the babies out. Good luck." He says as we nod in determination. The lift closes and we make our way down, the ride is silent as there really nothing to talk about, doesn't help that the mission is as serious as it can get. "Went up to the roof to get some air." We hear Darius voice sound over the tablet. "Let the machine do the talking. Where did the kid go?" Kash's condescending voice sounds over as Brooklynn quickly answers. "The roof." I sigh in relief, that was too close for my liking. The lift seems to be taking forever, to pass time I notice Kenji is giving small looks in Brooklynn's direction, but she seems to be not returning any. Odd, they always steal little glances when they think we aren't looking, something has happened.
