Cyber Wars Ch. 13: "Fallen Knights"

[Wolf99x]

OOC: Creating random characters is fun! It adds more humanity to the RP. Oh, and welcome back for the weekend, Batgirl.

BIC: The sounds of gunfire gradually died down as the remaining MM troopers were either killed or routed. The various unit commanders reported an all clear across all floors. Lt. Brando had lost half of his original team, the 5 soldiers with him was all that he had left. Still, nobody from Miller's team or Wolf's team had been wounded or killed, so the impromptu rescue mission was a success.

"So, where do we go from here?" Wolf asked Miller once all the allied troops wer down on the first level.

"We go out door 1C on floor 1 and head through the hallway ahead. From there, it's a realtively straight line to the bridge."

"Got it." Wolf said as he led the way to the door in question and opened it. As he started walking through, his PDAP beeped.

"This doesn't look good..." Beowulf said.

"What?" Wolf asked.

"Beyond that door at the end of the hallway I'm reading encryption on locks no lower than Security Level 14. We can't get through...and I have been unable to hack the locks."

"What's the level on the bridge doors?" Wolf asked.

"Unknown, but at best I'd say it's at least level 20 security."

Wolf was about to ask for an alternative route when 10 Death Squad troopers suddenly rappelled down from floor 3 to attack the small army Wolf had amassed.

"Everyone into the hall!" Wolf shouted as he tossed a frag grenade into at the Death Squad, critically injuring at least one.

When everyone was in, the door slammed shut and Beowulf locked it.

"Well...we're really screwed now." Miller said.

"Not necessarily," Wolf grinned as he activated his PDAP. "I'm about to call what I hope is my hidden ace in the hole."

Dialing a number that would eventually send his message to Coyote, he hit send and started talking.

"Coyote, I hope this isn't a bad time to ask for some help...but we've got a problem. I'm currently pinned between a series of level 14+ security doors and a team of Death Squad troopers. I'm sending you a map of my current location. I need you to unlock all the doors leading to the Skybase's bridge...except for the bridge itself."

Miller shouted out "They're trying to take down the door!"

Wolf turned back to his call. "Please hurry. If Mastermind succeeds here...then both worlds will be in jeopardy."

OOC: Finally, I found something for Coyote to do.
