Railroad Track
Lucia - Gray Raven
1105 Hours

Following the railroad tracks, Lucia and Lee opted to run at maximum speed towards the Train Station which is still more than twenty kilometers away. They ran past straggling Corrupted, dodging their attacks and engage only when the situation calls for it, as they are already too far behind the train. Picking them off one by one would slow them down. They need to find a vehicle, and fast.

Just then, Lee received a message from command, telling him to move to the designated coordinates. "Lucia, go without me. I need to separate from you for a while."

Lee's statement caught Lucia in surprise, as she asked, "Why?"

"Command sent me coordinates. It says they want me to go there as soon as possible. Probably related to our mission. Didn't say much." Lee said. "Don't worry. They'll probably send a spacecraft to get me back on the train as fast as possible."

Lucia nodded firmly. "Okay. Good luck."

Lee nods back, and separates from her, heading northwest from their current position, while Lucia continues onward to the train station alone. "Raven 2 to Raven Actual. Is Bianca at the train station?"

"[Affirmative, Raven 2. Her status is in combat with the Corrupted present in there. She'll board the train soon.]"

"Understood."

Train Station
Bianca - Purifying Force
1107 Hours

Lightning bolts flew in almost every direction, shredding the Corrupted that dared to get in Bianca's way. Thanks to her frame, she could deal physical damage combined with electro damage. It had been a long time since she used the Veritas frame, and is glad that she could still handle its immense power.

One after another, the Corrupted fell victim in her bow, until she cleared the first wave. Now, her objective is to lower the barrier that was obstructing the tunnel. She went to the nearby hologram stand which also served as the switch for the barrier. She tried to activate it, only to discover that it had damages that albeit minor, is enough to render the machine inoperable unless she search for parts to replace the broken ones.

"Fine, then." Bianca looks around for parts from the Corrupted she defeated earlier. While doing so, a few that managed to slip through attempted to ambush her, only to disintegrate seconds after they jumped from their cover. After killing them off, she continued to search for the right parts as if nothing happened, until she found the replacements she was looking for. "Perfect."

After tinkering with the modules, she got the hologram stand working properly. After typing some codes, the barrier lowered down. "Now all I have to do is to wait at the second floor."

Using the elevator nearby, she went to the second floor. Expecting an ambush, she jumped out of the way, barely dodging a beam from a Repair Unit. She leaped upwards, and while in mid-air, charged up her bow and launched an electric arrow that exploded in the middle of the Corrupted swarm, forming an electric field that fried up their internals. All she had to do was to pick them off, until the second floor was clear from any threats.
