'What the hell is going on, did someone get attacked? Is that why comms aren't working? I'll head back to the hangar, I'll be a sitting duck if they cross over here' Mikhail swiftly about faced and headed back towards the Delta. 'If they don't head this way it won't be a problem but better safe than sorry' Mikhail ducked low during his run hoping to avoid catching the attention of anyone deciding to fly pass at that moment.
