The next day...

Hammerhead: "(sighing) Come on. I don't want to get chewed out."

The three have just gotten up after a night's rest.

Lisa: "(yawning) I was just getting to the good part."

Chase: "You're up early."

Hammerhead looks to his side.

Hammerhead: "I don't need much sleep."

Chase and Lisa get up.

Lisa: "Well, let's just go to Sector F."

They head out of the barracks and into the relatively calm crowd of members and Accelerators.

Chase: "This still looks bizarre."

They shuffle through the crowd and onto the pads.

Hammerhead: "Sector F."

The three vanish.

Meanwhile...

Man 1: "Damn it all to hell!"

The other men with Basser are enraged.

Man 2: "Our Sector B connections are terminated!"

MONO: "Would you like me to strengthen security in the remaining Sectors?"

Man 3: "(calming down) Yes."

Four of them look towards the fifth.

Man 4: "Fero, try not to fuck our position in Sector F.

Fero: "Not at all."

Meanwhile...

Lisa: "Wh-Whoa!"

They've arrived at a nearly identical base, but they're the only Accelerators in the area.

Chase: "Eh, can't expect too much variety for rebels."

Hammerhead: "You seem a little optimistic."

They walk into the crowd.

Chase: "What's wrong about that?"

Hammerhead: "Nothing."

The members look at the heroes in awe as they shuffle through.

Demo: "Wow, I thought it was some sick prank by the higher ups."

Lisa: "(struggling) The head here should be at the same area as B."

One hour later...

???: "You're a hour late."

The heroes have arrived at the office of a man around twice the size of Chase's father.

Hammerhead: "You think crowds are easy to get through?"

The man looks towards the heroes with his white beard and sentimental gaze.

Man: "It's good to see that you've got some bite.

Chief: "I'm the chief of Sector F and you're already moving out."

Lisa: "Wait what?!"

Chief: "I thought Arrows warned you."

Chase: "We only just finished recovering from Sector B!"

Chief: "Precisely."

They can hear a speech going on outside."

Chief: "We need to strike before they get ready."

Hammerhead: "(smirking) Looks like it's time to shine."

Chief: "Your infiltration point will be the south freight elevator."

A map appears on a nearby computer monitor.

Chief: "We'll concentrate around the north, east, and west."

Hammerhead: "Sounds simple."

Chief: "That would be if the south elevator isn't guarded by Accelerators day in and day out."

A specific path is laid out towards the elevator.

Chase: "We're on it."

Chief: "We don't know the path to the generator however. Hope you like being lost."

Hammerhead: "(darkly) Nothing new to me."

Chase: "(in head) What's he hiding?"

Marching footsteps are heard outside.

Chief: "Get going!"

Lisa: "Y-Yes sir!"

The heroes follow with what little information locked in their minds...
