Things of course, still never slowed down regardless of the base having a Director or not. In fact, there were days where it was complete chaos and no one knew what to do or how to fix it. Having someone that always had an eye on everything was a bigger help than anyone realized. But now they were fighting blind.
Attacks came out of nowhere and everyone did the best they could to fight it off. All while having no warning ahead of time or getting prepared. In the CIA you always had to be prepared and one slip up could become deadly. That was a thing that nearly happened one too many times. Many times they came too close to having it result in something fatal. It placed the entire base in a frenzy, sleeping was of course harder as well as even training.
Everyone was just on edge and worried about whether or not they would get attacked from out of nowhere. There were codes that only the Director was given to have an eye out for the entire base, and as stupid as it was. The higher-ups refused to give them the codes. So they were left all on their own without ever knowing what was to come next.
Shooting his eyes open, Conner was in bed asleep when he heard heavy running footsteps rush down the hall. Jolting up he quickly rushed out of bed and shoved on his boots. Going to his door he pulled it open and watched the others rush on out. Before he could even think he was pulled right out of his room by his shirt and heading down the hall with the rest of them.
Running along with them, he went over to the weaponry and grabbed his belt and holsters. As well as his vest and pads before turning around and going back out. Running over and whipping out his gun he found the sight of Damian and of course rushed right over to him.
"We're under attack?"
"Seems like it. Baker's got us runnin' around like a bunch of madmen."
Damian explained as he took out his own gun and took off the safety, placing it back in and opening his staff.
"Try to stay out of trouble alright? I'll see ya when I can."
Conner nodded and watched as Damian went. After that, he went out as well. Springing right into action and not holding back. It wasn't nearly as bad as it had been and mostly for Conner it was just running.
He shot a couple of shoots but mainly there wasn't anything or anyone really there. It was very strange, to say the least, but he tried not to think about it too much. He went over to the IT lab and used his ID to get in.
Once in there he went over to the main computer and saw that the security system was down. Looking around and furrowing his brows in confusion a moment he took a second to stop and think.
Remembering what he been taught on how to fix it. Retracing his thoughts he went over to the mainframe and typed in the codes. Hoping they were the correct ones and by some miracle gained full access. He searched for the correct icon and pressed 'on'. After that, a loud alarm went off, everything went red and flashing on and off.
Conner slowly stepped away from the computer and ran out of the IT room. Racing down the halls as best as he could manage with the piercing alarm and flashing lights.
Making down to the ground floor main lobby. Conner stopped and took a breather a moment, then went over to one of the front desks. There he went to the computer and typed in the codes. After that, the alarm stopped and the lights first went out then flashed back on fully.
Breathing out a breath of relief Conner shook his head and fell back in the chair of the desk. His side of things was just weird. He hardly had to fight at all, everywhere he turned there was just no one there. It made him think and wonder why everyone was so on edge and freaking out. It seemed like just a simple break-in and nothing too overly serious.
