Alice, Connor, and Luther made their way down the dingy hallways of Jericho. There were androids everywhere many without their LEDs. If someone from the past were to come to Jericho they would think everyone was human, no androids. They nodded as an android passed by and took a left down to the main hall. The meeting had already started, so they sat at the back, and listened as North laid out a plan. She nodded slightly as Connor came in, and but he didn't meet her gaze.

"-Then we take the back streets till we get near Rosins Hotel, that's when we hit the road, but we have to be careful. No one can see us, everyone coming will be in all black, no LEDs. We should be on the main road for about five minutes before we hit The Dump. When we get there will split off into 3 squads: One for blue blood, one for biocomponents and another to stand watch. I will lead the team for blue blood. Josh will lead the team for biocomponents and Simon will be with a team at the gates. I want Ralph and Luther with Simon and anyone else who is a good fighter. Alice, you and Jerry go with Josh and I will take Connor and a few others with me. Everyone happy? Good, let's get ready."

Connor scoffed and headed to the front of the room.

"I want to be with Alice, I need to get biocomponents for Mia."

"Connor, Mia isn't the only one who needs them, Alice and Josh will have a list. They'll be fine, I need you to help me with the blue blood."

"Why? Anyone can help you with that."

"Are you arguing with me, Colonel?"

"No."

"Good, go get ready then."

"All right everyone, we need to split off now, stay alert."

Connor stood afar from North and absently pulled down the black beanie over his hair.

North came over to him, hair also nicely tucked away in a black beanie, she had on a black military jacket and tight black pants.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Yes."

North scoffed and turned down a pathway, looking for fallen androids. They didn't need to walk very far, they started piling up.

"This is horrible."

They walked between piles of androids, all stained with blue blood. Connor bent down beside a male Traci and began to siphon off its blue blood.

"I didn't want Mia to get hurt Connor. Markus got hurt too."

"You hate her, you think-"

"I do not hate her."

"Why did you ask her to go on the mission then!"

"We needed a sharpshooter."

"I can shoot!"

"No! You can't, it wasn't personal Connor!"

"It was to me."

North didn't respond, and Connor turned away from her, taking anything couple containers of blue blood.

A loud crash came from behind them, and the other groups came running, soon shots followed and androids fell. Alice and Luther came running towards Connor, fear in their eyes.

"THEY'RE HERE!!' Simon yelled, coming up the rear.

North froze, and Connor pulled her along. A bullet caught North, but Connor didn't let go. He heard androids yell from behind him as shots fired.

"THE EXIT IS BLOCKED!!" A panicked android yelled. They froze as a line of guns came into view.

"EVERYONE HEAD FOR COVER NOW!!!"

The shots rang out for five minutes before the ammo ran out.
