I got thrown back to the wall. Aside from being blown back, I was relatively unharmed. There was a large fire now at the end of that hall, so I picked up a chair and started smashing it on the walls. I was right, there was a piece of one way glass. Part of it shattered and I was able to climb through, were two dead bodies greeted me. Both were Enforcers, so I took both of their standard energy weapons and all their ammunition cartridges, which added up to 12 cartridges or 120 shots, 60 for each. I opened the door behind them, and found the hall with more dead bodies, all leading toward the middle of the station. I couldn't really carry more ammo, so I just walked along. I checked most of the rooms I passed by, just rooms like I was in. I reached a bend and heard voices, arguing. "Well there the fuck is it John?!?" A female voice yelled. "I am having a hard time tracking it in here, Melinda." That must have been John. "Well hurry the fuck up John, I'm annoyed and have no other Enforcers to kill, and that means you might be next..." I decided to try and stay away from Melinda. "Wait, I got a signal," John said, "Should be right around this corner..." I lifted my guns, pointed where I thought their chests would be. They rounded the corner, and I misjudged on Melinda. She was probably 6' 10", so I ended up aiming at her abdomen. Speaking I was only 5' 5" so yeah. John though was around 5' 7", so I got him right at least. John paled, only holding a PDA and a encryptor. But Melinda held a high caliber, E-34, a military grade energy rifle, aimed at my head. "A. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU, and B. PUT THE FUCKING GUNS DOWN." Instead I aimed both pistols at John, "Shoot me and I'll shoot him." I tried to stay calm, I've hurt people yeah, but never killed them. "Alright, calm down. I'll make you a deal, put your pistols away and I'l put my rifle away." She said, though I could tell she was lying. "You first, I can hear in your voice that you'll shoot me the moment I put them away." She signed and put away the rifle, and I dropped my aim, holstering the pistols. "Alright, now that's out of the way who the fuck are you boy?" she glared daggers at me. "I'm Cisco, now what the hell do you want?" I tried not to let my voice falter, it seemed to be going well so far. This time John answered, "We have been searching for a PDA that had been lost elsewhere. We have followed the signal here, but lost it until now." "Huh, OK well what do you need it for?" Melinda jumped in, "NONE OF YOUR GOD DAMN BUSINESS THAT'S WHAT!" she didn't seem happy. "Well just so happens that I have found a PDA and it was taken here with me, that's why I was asking." John's eyes lit up, "You have it? Can I see it?" I pulled out the PDA and flicked it on. While he looked through it Melinda spoke. "So punk what was on it?" the question was aimed at me, which I wasn't ready for, "Umm, blueprints for Chiron, random legal documents, and military droid blueprints." I replied. "Well punk, welcome to the resistance then, named the House of War, you accept?" I accepted.
