[b]Time seemed to pass, the young girl before him frozen in nothingness, as if she had just simply given up... Eventually however, the intercom returned in full force, Salem having returned to schedule.[/b] [i]"Dome floor cleared... Proceeding..."[/i] [b]But in the back, an almost clicking could be heard... Like...[/b] [b][u]Crash.[/u][/b] [b]The left corner of the dome splintered and broke as men with blue EVA helmets rapped down a large hole, rifles poised, opening fire immediately...[/b] [i]"Dammit... There's no... Fūck... They found us... Initiate procedure... We don't have a choice..."[/i] [b]One of the men... No... A woman rushed towards Lance, SMG in hand as she got to work on the straps, the blue skull stuttering as she worked... But as she tried to finish...
