As the blaring noise of the prison's alarm system echoes the facility, a group of officers rush through the hallways as they are dispatched to go to the prison cells. The complete destruction of the prison's mainframe cause security systems to go haywire, leading the prisoners to use this opportunity to attack the guards as revenge for the mistreatment they've endured. It's also thanks to the mainframe's destruction that they are cut off from the outside, making the call of reinforcements troubling to acquire and open for outside sources to get in.

While it may seem to be trouble for the authorities, this allows the disgruntled prisoners more time to enact their revenge... or to find a particular HVT.

[Sub-Level 4, MacArthur Prison]

"All available guards, the All-Lethal Order has been activated! You are free to kill the prisoners as you wish. The lesser they are, the more we can ensure the safety of our own." says the speaker in seriousness as he informs the guards about the order.

As the prison handles poorly in taking down the numerous prisoners across all levels, a guard roams through the empty hallways, taking cover using corners and peeking for any threats nearby. The guard, wearing a kevlar vest and a baseball cap with a Police patch on it, looks back at the sounds of agony, hearing their pleas become deafening to his ears.

"Holy shit!" he whispers at the sound. "Ito ba ay isang bantay o isang bilanggo? (Was that a guard or a prisoner?)"

Not wanting to dwell on it, he presses on and be far from it. With the prison being in a mess of some sort, the guard has no idea on what he's supposed to do. having just lost track of his team, he's hoping that he'll find his men if he keeps listening to his radio. He's wants confirmation that they're alive but as their silence remains, he can't confirm if they are.

As he got far and makes a sharp turn to the left, he finds a squad of guards in the distance, making a small grin on his face as he starts to get closer to them. But before he could even get to them, his ears detect something coming behind him and was about to turn around when he starts to feel something pierced through his neck. Afterwards, he looks at the group with shock on his eyes as his mouth begins to water with blood. Before he could even cough it out, the piercer opens like an umbrella and pulls him away from the group, feeling the sharp pain as he tries to hold it from breaking his neck even further.
