Sail the folks in the control room had cleared out, leaving the rest on standby.
what’s our play now?”
Yates glanced at the operators who stayed and knew his strategy of retreat to lure them in had paid off.
He finished his last cigarette, lifted his eyes, now brimming with murderous intent, and surveyed the room.
Head back to your zones. Wherever the Siren Organization pops up, that’s where you activate the kill switch!”
Roger that?
The operators scattered from the room, each to their stations.
Meanwhile, Yates rose and made his way to the biozone, flipping open the console to tamper with the chip detonation system.
Surrounded by electronic gear, Cedric saw someone speeding up the countdown and quickly raised his hand, fingers flying over
the controls.
The two were locked in a fierce virtual battle, while outside, Bernard, having entered District A with his Siren Organization crew,
made a beeline for the upper levels.
The operator ready to trigger the kill switch saw the man on the monitors, cracking the vault door open, then suddenly retreating
with his team. He was puzzled.
“What’s he playing at?”

“Did he figure out we’ve got a kill switch and got cold feet?”
The operators in charge of District A were befuddled, exchanging glances.
“Doesn’t matter if he’s scared or not, we take them down!”
The moment Mr. Sextus from Group 1 spoke, the operators at the consoles immediately adjusted their targeting range.
But alas–Bernard with the air of death about him gave them no time to adjust, simply lifting his long finger and pressing forward.
“Group 1, the front corridor, upper left, ten o’clock, fire!”
At Bernard’s command, several Siren members with grenades in hand stepped forward, aimed at ten o’clock, pulled the pins,
and hurled with all their might.
Boom-”
The explosion shook the earth, obliterating the hidden kill switch behind the white walls. Bernard’s cool voice rang out again.
“Group 2, the front corridor, upper right, three o’clock, fire!”
As Group 1 retreated, Group 2 moved up swiftly. The two teams practically brushed past each other mid–stride, yet their
coordination was seamless.
After Group 2 threw their bombs, Group 3 took their place. After several rounds of bombardment, the winding corridors of the
upper levels collapsed, even affecting the surveillance.
The monitors for the District A corridor went dark, the operators seeing nothing, stunned into silence, while Mr. Sextus quickly
recalibrated their battle plan.
“Blind fire! Do it now!”
At Mr. Sextus‘ urgent command, the operators slammed the kill switch.
“Get that blast sequence going!”
They were shooting blind, lobbing explosives in chaos, while on Bernard’s end, the bombs kept flying.
If a collapsed wall blocked their way, they’d blast through it, all the way to the control room if necessary.

When Bernard and his Siren team broke through, the District A operators had already fled into the escape tunnels.

Everyone in District A, without a second thought, took off down the escape route–running for their lives.
