[i][b]Purge Depot [/b][/i] [@Kurai Assassin][@Remipa Awesome][@DiZL ReloadeD] As gunshots were fired, the HIVE strike force went on full alert. They had not anticipated a large scale attack from another apposing force. The Troopers were set up in position and two Railgun Snipers climbed to a better vantage point and begun taking potshots at any hostile force, whether Purge or Freelance. The mech units also begun a seek and destroy task in the local area, opening a full barrage of chain-gun fire onto a group of Freelance soldiers. The squad commander had radioed in to Commander Knight that they had company. Meanwhile Knight had advanced into the lower sections of the main structure and found what he was looking for, but it would take some time to retrieve. He ordered the Bomb Carrier to activate the Failsafe of the Singularity Bomb. This meant that the bomb would go off no matter what, if anyone so much as even touched it, the mechanism inside would reduce the timer to zero and create a gravity well, sucking in everything within a mile radius and implode. The timer began to count down from 20 Minutes. [hr] [i][b] The Crimson Drop Hotel[/b][/i] Adam descended from the stairs to greet Bedivere, whose dark presence had been sensed before he even reached the island. With the bottle in hand he placed it on the side table and gave a small formal bow. He had already been summing up the battle potential of Bedivere and access if things went bad, if it were better to fight or run. "Welcome my dear Dread Lord, I trust your journey was most pleasant." Adam opened with a smile and gestured towards the function room.
