Jake just heard that pop into his head when he watched his Recon drones get taken out. But after what he saw at the end of the right corridor.

Jake then heard that but based on the reports he had read, knew what was possibly happening. Opening the comm line on ALL channels, Jake spoke.

"Base. Katya. Everyone. This is Jake. My three recon drones are down. More enemy units proceeding from the middle corridor but...I know this may sound bonkers but...I think Elora just told us to run through...some telepathy...but it gets worse, I found what I assumed is a Cruxi modded Logic Gate...and your NOT going to like the last image I picked up."

Back at the base where Ritsu and Lorenzo were and in Katya's framework, Jake sent the last video image of the recon drone sent to the right before the modded Logic Gate took it out.

"...this job just got ALOT more complicat-", Jake began but was cut off.

"Everyone. This is Seven. Cadet Elora has been compromised. I repeat, Elora and Logic Gate have been compromised. Switching objective priorities...", Seven droned.

"...Seven...don't you dare...Mai...we need to recuse the other P.O.W's at the very least then pull back."

"Logic Gate assuming combat mode...commencing termination of target."

"MAI!", Jake roared before Neo Angel proceeded towards the right corridor.

Meanwhile, Seven was quickly moving her hands across her framework console. She knew what was happening. Even Mai knew what was happning. She also knew that it was more than just physical warefare.

NOW it was mental. But her sync system wasn't exactly your average sync system. It was called Telekenetic for a reason.

What Seven was doing is redirecting the "energy" that was being used as her barrier based on her sync rate and redirecting it towards...herself in a way. It was dangerous to even modifty a sync system on the fly but the Telekenetic can do multiple roles if given time and preparation.

Like with the Setsuka, it could use that energy to create weapons of pure energy and fire energy blasts. In this case with the Neo Angel, that energy was used as a barrier that coated the Neo Angel as a defensive measure also based on her sync rate. But that barrier was going to do squat against a mental attack.

So taking perhaps the biggest risk of her life, she was dropping the barrier on her mech and using that energy on herself if a way that it was putting a barrier on her mind. But if Elora was turly as strong as she was suspecting...all she could do was buy time.

Seven felt Mai's distress deep down but she also knew this had to be done. If Logic Gate joined the battle, they'd probably suffer heavy casualties. As far as both of them knew, no one on her squad was prepared for any mental-based attacks.

Which mean't...it may all come down to this...
