Clattering down from his stairway hiding place, Horus came face-to-face with the intruders he had predicted before. Aiming his pistol at the sudden reinforcements, Horus slowly lowered his guard at the reference of Colonel Carter's name. [color=fff79a][i]"Hello, Colonel and companion."[/i][/color], Horus greeted, the badge of colonel on Carter's camo vest dissolving any doubt he may have had. [color=fff79a][i]"Me and Brandon were already planning an escape method, nice of you guys to join the party."[/i][/color], Horus lied causally, adding a bit of sarcasm to the last part of his sentence. Heading back up the stairs, Horus motioned for the other marines and Brandon to follow him. [color=fff79a][i]"You good at zip-lining, Carter?"[/i][/color], Horus asked, climbing a few more set of stairs before he finished his thought. [color=fff79a][i]"Either way, you'll be learning soon."[/i][/color] Horus broke open the emergency exit to the decomposed roof of the motel. Cutting a multi-foot tail of electrical wire from the energy distributer found at the edge of the roof, Horus tied the wiring to his cavalry lance and threw the oversized spear over to another nearby building, the weapon piercing itself into the structure's top. Horus soon tied the other side of the cable to a pole that erected itself out of the motel's broken roof. With a minor tightening pull, Horus had created a length similar to that of a zip line, able to transport the soldiers to a more capable setting. [color=fff79a][i]"Well?"[/i][/color], Horus asked, Breaking plumbing tubes out of the exposed walls on the roof before cutting them into graspable sections of piping. Positioning his makeshift piping zipper above his head and onto the sturdy cable, Horus hung onto this handheld as he slid quickly down the strained wire, the piping his only support. Finally gliding onto a stout department store's roof, Horus beckoned for the startled soldiers to follow his lead. [color=fff79a][i]"Come on you pansies!"[/i][/color], Horus shouted, not loud enough to alert the undead swarming the motel, but enough for the taunting his voice to be distinguished by the marines on the inn roof not too far away...
