[h3]Michael Sonnen[/h3] The aged doors moaned open and before him was a blazed but alien path. Where once it was an unknown mystery, now it was a nightmarish, bleak, door to his death. He could feel his fear cracking the walls that cornered it in his heart, the minute fissures that marked the end if he couldn't reign it in. He steeled the quivering in his taunt arms. Once the woman had begun her speech, like so many of the rebels around him, he looked for hope in her words. Unlike them, he found none. Some piece of him knew that Courtney's death would drive him to his own, that the guilt he felt was so strong that it'd pull him into Galatec's spectral grip. Michael lowered his head absently, a weak smile pulled his lips. [color=red][I]We're going to die one way or another. They think they can pull a small attack on one of Galatec's premiere mining sites and win...[/I][/color] He chuckled shortly, a defeated smile hidden on his face. [color=red][I]It reminds me of an ancient saying my dad use to quote; how does it go? Oh yea... "Like lambs to the slaughter."[/I][/color] Still, he had willingly become apart of the lambs' herd. He had no regrets about it when he truly thought about it, only a fiery ambition to rid himself of his unforgiving contentment. Once the cries of the rebels took root in the tunnels, Michael rushed forward with them. He eye'd the scattered remains of the equipment he had brought in with him, it roused a question in him that he had foolishly forgotten. He came to a stop amongst the chaos, not too deep in but close enough to feel the heat of the flames they were attempting to douse with rebellious fevor. The sound of high-tech ammunition sizzled around him, loud bangs threatened to hurt his ears. He found cover in the form of a metal wagon. He grip the material over his chest and calmed his now thrumming heart. [color=red][b]"This is Galatec's true face!"[/b][/color] he snarled with a shaky calm. When he noticed a Githkin around the cover of his wagon, he raised the ancient arm given to him and pulled the trigger with an unusual amount of power in the action. [color=red][I]Let's see if you die like we do. With smiles on your faces.[/I][/color]
