Jade was standing with Jones at the console he finally got a map up
and running, "alright so the buildings in red are the ones that
Castillo says the bomb is in." Jones said highlighting buildings, "the
buildings in blue are buildings that are stable and have wounded."
Jones said highlighting many buildings blue.
"Alright I want you and Kroitzer to split those buildings up but stay
clear of the two red ones." Jade said turning as she heard a noise
behind her. "Good your back what did you find?" She asked.
Charly sat the toolbox he had found on the console in front of him.
"I got a tricorder", he said dropping it down next to the box. "And a
security pass-card", he smirked, seeing the expression on her face he
continued, "Don't ask where I got it". Then he pointed back to the
toolbox and nodded his head, "That's got all kinds of stuff, snippers,
drivers, even a hammer". He looked around and then remembered the
knife, "OH yah and this", he said sliding it from his back pocket and
holding it out to Jade. "Just in case you mad at me again", he
winked.
"Don't tempt me." Jade said knowing that she could probably disarm him
and then cause him bodily harm before he even knew what happened.
"Alright Jones (NPC) we're heading out Kroitzer is in charge while we
deal with the bomb." Jade said looking at her AOps officer.
"Aye ma'am." Jones said turning back to the console and was wondering
what was taking the CEO so long on getting a sitrep from the doctors.
With that Jade grabbed the tricorder, "you get to carry the tool box."
Jade said stepping outside the tent and back into the winter hell land
she wished that it would've just stayed a winter wonderland but the
explosion turned it into hell. "Alright let's go." Jade said deciding
to allow Castillo while she hung back behind him.
Charly nodded, picked the toolbox back up and moved towards the exit.
Several minutes of silence passed by as the pair trudged through the
snow towards the Northern complex before Castillo glanced back at
Jade, "It's colder than a witches tit out here", he said, laughing at
his own joke.
"Very funny." Jade said shaking her head, {don't kill the Marine.}
Jade thought to herself as she walked along he was right though it was
very cold out. "So did you get any info on what the bomb might look
like?" She asked wanting to have all the information before they got
there.
Castillo sighed. "I don't even know if there is a bomb", he said
without looking back, "But I would assume that it looks like any
other bomb, you know with different colored wires".
The two marines continued towards their destination and once within
view of the entrance were able to see several dozen men and women in
local security uniforms both escorting people out of the building and
not allowing anyone else in. As they got closer they were quickly
approached by two men carrying phaser rifles.
"You can't go this way", one of the local police said holding out his
open hand.
For a brief second Castillo smiled hoping they could now end this wild
goose chase, but a quick glance back at Captain Reese told him
otherwise. "Umm, yah well, we're bomb disposal experts and we need to
get into that building", he said, still not even certain that there
was a bomb.
"Well why didn't you say so", one of the guards spoke up immediately,
"We discovered it about fifteen minutes ago, its on the second level".
"You mean there really is a bomb", Castillo blurted out before
thinking, "I mean, of course, second level, that's what we were
told", he corrected, then looked back at Jade. "Lets go assistant, we
have a bomb to defuse".
Jade just rolled her eyes she would let that slip seeing how he didn't
try to weasel his way out of doing this this time. Once inside they
made there way up to the second level. Jade made a quick scan around
the room luckily the lights were still working and the building was in
stable condition. "Okay Lt walk very slowly." Jade said seeing the
bomb attached to the back wall.
Once they were closer Jade looked at visually trying to see how it was
designed there was no timer which means it's going to be remote
detonation. She then took out the tricorder and started scanning the
device the tricorder picked up that it was definitely armed but that
was about it. "Alright Castillo hand me the sonic screw driver." Jade
said holding out her hand.
Charly popped open the toolbox and reached inside for the requested
item. He handed it to her reluctantly, "Do you even know what your
doing?", he said, his eyes glued to the explosive that could go off at
any moment.
Jade took the sonic screw driver, "alright no more talking and hand me whaI ask for and only when I ask for." Jade said looking at Castillo. She needed to concentrate seeing that one wrong move could set the explosive off killing everyone in the area of the building and maybe further.
