It's definitely time to worry, since it's possible that either he's fighting a pack of HYDRA agents or they already took him out. However, Cass will know that once power is restored, she can track him down via his comm device and see where exactly he is. Luckily, she doesn't run into any agents on her way down and there aren't any blocking her way to restore the power/coms either. Yet Cass will run into a problem... It wasn't just that they cut the power: [i]they overloaded it.[/i] Every circuit is fried. The capacitors look swollen and Cass will know this means that she has to replace them outright - hopefully everything else will be functional. The Bus won't be going anywhere for a while.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. team had been relatively quiet but gunfire was hard to ignore and it had been exchanged on both sides. They had been lucky so far that Von Bardas' security team hadn't come to look from other areas, but now it seemed a pair were heading down the very spiral staircase that Tinley and the others wanted to go up. [color=add3ff]"...I'll look at the plans later,"[/color] Novikova agreed, taking them and making sure that they wouldn't be lost. One of the hostiles sent a shot down at them, but Nikolai breathed fire and created a shield of sorts, causing the bullet to drop to the ground. [color=cd0000]"They have the high ground, Agent Abercrombie,"[/color] Nikolai observed. He then looked at Novikova. [color=cd0000]"See if you can change that."[/color] [color=add3ff]"...Okay,"[/color] Novikova said, looking up the stairs for a split second before she held out her hand. The ground underneath the staircase started to shake and she was capable of destroying the staircase, but it was near a load bearing pillar and she didn't want to disrupt it. Instead of knocking the hostiles entirely off of the staircase, the shaking caused one to lose his balance and fall down a few steps, whereas the other dropped his gun and it misfired. Luckily the bullet hit the wall and not any of the agents. Meanwhile, Raynor had made his way with his ball of light over east as indicated. He had heard the cries in the kitchen, and rather than come at the hostiles straight on, he made his way around the island and came at the from behind. Hawkeye wasn't the only one able to be stealthy and he hardy made a noise, knocking the hostiles over with his lights before they could even turn around and draw their weapons. [color=d86615]"And that is why you always bring a flashlight to a gun fight,"[/color] Raynor muttered, before he ran over to the others. He looked at Niah for a moment, taking some time to assess her wound. It didn't look good. They'd need Tempest to heal her pronto - she was losing way too much blood and with a stomach injury like that, it'd be dangerous to move her. [color=d86615]"Tempest, she's got minutes,"[/color] Raynor said bluntly. Truthfully, it was less than that. [color=d86615]"Can you heal her? If not, I'll try to cauterize the wound, buy us some time to evac her to the Bus."[/color]
