"Something like that."
Replied Cornelia. As they ran, enemies poured into the hall they were running through.

-
Cylus aimed his pistol and began rapidly firing, pulling his other out as he did. Q nocked an arrow that had a special arrowhead, and shot it right into an operative's head. As it did, it proceeded to explode, obliterating the skull and disoriented anyone that was too close.
-
The stunned soldiers in front shot cylus and Q rapidly.
-
Cylus dived backwards, dropping a smoke grenade and pulling Q backwards with a grapple. They hit the floor hard, and they both crawled back into the room they came from. Looking down at himself, Cylus realized be had been hit twice, but no real damage was done. The bullets failed to even penetrate his jacket, so he would be fine. "Cornelia!" he shouted over the gunfire, looking for the woman
-
Cornelia wasn't to be seen. After a second, they could hear her on comms. "I'm in a separate hallway! Keep the fire up, I'll keep them still so they'll be easy targets." A moment later, they heard electricity and the enemy fired slowed a little bit and became erratic. "Now! Shoot them!"
-
Cylus stepped out with Q, both of them firing as fast as the could. One precision kill and after another, the enemy operatives dropped faster than the bullet casings from Cylus' pistols.
-
Soon, the finished and Cornelia returned to them. "Come on, we still have quite a bit to go."
-
"Well, let's get it over with." Cylus nodded. He reholstered his pistol and removed the Hemlock assault rifle from his back, switching it to a 2-round burst. "Shall we?"
-
Cornelia kept moving until hey reached a closed door. The sign above of it read "Kitchen". The door was locked and they could tell someone did so on purpose. "Alright, one of you two, use your breach charge and get ready." She stood by the door with her gun ready.
-
Cylus took point, removing the charge from the back of his belt. He pressed it to the door and held up his fingers. "On my count." he nodded, setting the charge. [i]Three fingers up. Two... One.[/i]
-
Cornelia waited. She stood, ready to take the left again.
-
Cults activated the charge and burst into the room, crossing to the right side. Q went in after Cornelia, coming down the center of the room.
-
In the center for Q were two men ducked behind turned over tables. They fired rifles from there. On the right was a long counter with four more ducked behind. These four carried SMGs and fired at cylus.
-
Q nocked two special arrows and fired them at the operatives. As they burrowed themselves in the table, they split and released separate bolts into the other side, stabbing right through the enemies' heads. Cylus ducked behind cover and rapidly fired the 2-round burst, taking down 2 as he moved. He grappled to the corner and slid across the floor, shoulder charging one and firing a burst into the other's head. With the last remaining troop, he fired from the leg up to the face, emptying that last 8 rounds of his magazine.
-
After finishing off those first ones, from the back came a shout. "Bibè a poculo mortuis!" Two more were watching from the back before quickly exiting the kitchen into the next area.
-
Cylus reloaded his weapon and chased after them, Q close in pursuit.
-
As they entered, trip wires shot from wall to wall in the hallway. The two enemies were on the other side and took advantage of the traps to slow Cylus and Q down. They fired pop shots from around a corner.
-
Cylus and Q doubled back around the corner, checking occasionally for the shooters. "How many are back there?" Cylus called
-
Cornelia's cyber ghost appeared, then disappeared as it ran through. "... There's two, but they're near the deck and they'll probably get away soon..."
-
Reaching into his jacket, Cylus pulled a metallic sphere and threw it through the hallway, where it soon detonated
