[hider=Castle Layout]Here are the floor plans to use as reference during this mission. While the rooms are stated with residential names, that does not mean that is what you will find in there. In headers, I'll be referring to locations with the following format [Actual Location - i.e. laboratory] (what it's called on the map). If you're confused, just copy from Novikova or Ray's header.

[@Nallore]: Up in command center, Kennedy checked his phone and got a bit of a pensive look, before he headed over to the bar and started to make himself a drink. It was strange and difficult, being back in this area, but he had to keep the bigger picture in mind. [color=773FE3]"I won't tell if you don't,"[/color] he offered, passing over a drink to Cassandra - her usual. Drinking on the job was frowned upon but his hands were shaking and he just wanted to keep his head clear. Alcohol helped him with that, funnily enough. 

A moment later, Jim frowned. [color=773FE3]"...Did you hear that?"[/color] he asked, grabbing his sidearm as he stood up. There was another loud [i]BANG[/i] from the lower levels and then a soft whine, as the power in the Bus was killed. They were plunged into darkness and the emergency lights on the ground turned on. He then coughed slightly, seeing the ground carpeted in what could have been smoke or gas. [color=773FE3]"Reed, the masks..."[/color] he coughed, rushing over to a box with emergency supplies as he put on a gas mask and tossed one to her.

He would have expected a communication from Kennedy and Reed by now - but there was nothing. Turning on the car radio, he listened to the channel - and there was just static. [color=d86615]"...Probably nothing..."[/color] he said, reassuring the others more than himself. He had ever expectation that he would walk out of this conflict unscathed. 
	
	[color=add3ff]"...If there's someone inside that beam of light, we need to help them,"[/color] Novikova reasoned. She then bit her lip. It would likely just be to put them out of their misery, in her experience. For someone to be inside of that thing, alive...It must have been certain agony. Death would be the only thing that could be done for them. Raynor nodded at Tinley, agreeing with what she said about stealth. [color=d86615]"I can do stealth, ma'am,"[/color] he said. He then held out his hands and they seemed to shimmer for a moment, until he bent the way light moved around them, making them invisible as a group as long as they stayed together to the world. 

	[color=d86615]"Let's get going, okay? And be quiet...this won't block out sound."[/color] There was only one entrance to the facility from what Novikova could tell - the front door. She picked the lock quietly, until she opened the door. Raynor did a quick check and there didn't seem to be any hostiles in sight.  

	[color=d86615]"Clear."[/color] Novikova, Raynor, Nikolai, Sami, and Lee then all entered the building, without any knowledge of the events that were happening miles away at the Bus...
