As Neil slid along the smooth floor under the landing, feeling the bottom of the Highlander for the latch of the hatch, he heard the muffled explosion, followed by the footsteps of approaching enemies. That is, until two piercing bangs from above, which caused two bloodied corpses to fall into the pit with him, viscera and lifeblood spraying everywhere. "Goh-ho-hod-damn!" He laughed, both surprised and then marveling how he shouldn't be. If anyone could solve problems with bullets, it was Sayeeda. 

Still, he knew it was a momentary success and he needed to hurry. As he fished around below, the men above renewed their fire on Junebug's position, and she would be able to see the odd hand signal every now and then a few of the men moving around. Thankfully the Hanger on their end was not a big place, and to run over to her side was a suicide run even under cover fire. However it was only a matter of time before they got lucky. 

Until they all began to spasm and gasp. 

The Captain of the Highlander would hear guns clattering to the floor, along with the screech of palms and shoes on a smooth surface as the men grunted and wiggled, some falling limp for a few moments. As they were effected, Taya's voice popped into Junebug and Neil's comms. 

"I increased the volume on their comm frequency. If you're going to do something, do it now!" The girl said with urgency. It was right around this time Neil found the hatch, unlocking it and opening up the bottom of the Highlander. He slipped into the narrow entryway by pulling upon the ladder bars with a few strong tugs, making it through the tube and opening the top hatch that led into the Cockpit corridor.

He needed to find some larger firepower just in case.
