Remnants and Fallout

[mtjsmith]

Ling held the door to the main engineering deck with Holmes to his left. Together they were the only ones left of Assault 2. Even so, they were doing extremely well under the circumstances. Ling had ran out of ammo, however was using one of the Alliance's troopers Plasma guns.

"Argh... come on... come on...."

Ling reloaded while Holmes covered, then there was the distinct sound of blade slashing against armour and flesh. He looked up. Kato was moving in a fluid motion from one trooper to the next - slashing, ducking and occasionally shooting with her pistol. Ling looked on in amazement, this woman could handle a blade much like he. If this all ended well - he would love to see how well she could handle it.

"Excellent work Sayoko!"

The guards had all fallen. Ling tapped his TAC-COM and connected directly into the Resurgency's bridge.

"Admiral Broch your instructions?"

Down came orders of some DNA-ARK and how it was imperative it was shipped to the Resurgency in one piece. It was two decks above, and the team would have to give up their position in Engineering.

"It will be done. What of the Engines? We do have them under our control but I have set charges on them just incase."

More orders. The charges were to remain in place and set to detonate when the deceleration drive kicked in.

"Lijie, we press on. Holmes, Kato - We move two decks up to capture some ARK that Doctor Xiobei needs. Quickly!"
