[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]: Today just is not Cass' day. As she begins the extensive repair process, she can hear the sound of fighting from the cargo ramp area, past the laboratory. There's then a large crash, as something - or rather, [i]someone[/i] - was thrown through the glass of the laboratory walls and hit the ground. "DON'T LOOK HIM IN THE EYE!" a male voice screamed and there was the sound of gunfire, the shots lasting for a good few minutes, before there was another crash and then silence. Small particles of gravel seemed to be in the air and a perfectly sculptured head of a HYDRA agent rolled into view, followed by Kennedy in his rock form. 

[color=773FE3]"Sorry for my absence, Reed,"[/color] Kennedy said roughly. He spat up a bit of what looked like blood, a moving and talking stone statue still. There were bullets covering his body. [color=773FE3]"Mind pulling these out before I shift back? I'd rather not have the bullets on me when I become skin and bone again...They almost killed me."[/color] He then grabbed a bullet and pulled it out. He then clutched his side when the wound started to gush blood. 

[color=773FE3]"Shit...They must be coated with vibranium..."[/color] he sort of limped, falling to the side.

	The grunt looked at Tinley, positively and absolutely terrified of this woman. He found it dishonorable to be bested by a woman - yet Tinley's pseudo-telepathic abilities were helping to terrify him into submission. Through accidental mind control and intentional intimidation, the grunt nodded. Tinley would manage to pick out his thoughts: [i]holy fucking shit, I do not need this...Von Bardas is going to be pissed...She's in the suite[sub]1[/sub], right? Tinkerer, the gremlin, he's downstairs still...Oh god and then that THING on the roof...And the specimen in the basement...I hope they don't wake her up before delivery...[/i]
[sub][i]1 = suite is marked on the map as the activity room.[/i][/sub]

	[color=add3ff]"...You have to teach me how to do that,"[/color] Novikova said quietly, having run up the stairs with Nikolai covering them. She couldn't help but look at her field commander in awe. She then reached out, using a seismic sense once more. [color=add3ff]"The anomaly...It's up, on the roof. That's the source of it."[/color] It was fortunate that this castle was made out of stone. It allowed her to have a rough visual map in her head of everything within it that gave off a vibration. 

	[color=cd0000]"Mission is not the anomaly,"[/color] Nikolai scolded. 

	[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

	Raynor observed the damage that Niah had taken. After Tempest's healing, the blood flow had stopped and the dizziness would be gone. However, Niah would need to receive a blood transfusion as soon as possible in order for her to not need further medical assistance. The wound was gone - that was the important thing. [color=d86615]"No, nothing from command - they might have decided to go radio silent,"[/color] Raynor said, not concerned. However, all of the girls there - Maria, Tempest, and Niah - would rightly have a bad feeling about this...That something must have happened to command. 

	He then sent his ball of light flying around the kitchen quickly, illuminating all of the corners and hiding spots. There was no one else there. However, they still had the Great Room to check out. And Agents Lee and Rhodes hadn't messaged back with their status. That concerned Raynor - and Agent Bautista would also have a bad feeling about that. It wouldn't concern Agents Renoir or Smith at all. [color=d86615]"Agent Bautista is stabilized,"[/color] Raynor said into his comm. [color=d86615]"Proceeding to the Great Room now."[/color] He then looked at the agents. [color=d86615]"Tempest and Reed - one of you stay with Bautista. The other, with me."[/color]

	Raynor made his way forward carefully, keeping his ball of light in his hand. He had left one back with the girls. It'd be a warning system of sorts - if something happened to him, the light would go out. He didn't mind which girl ended up coming with him, as he pressed forward from their crouched position and peered around the corner of the partition that separated the Great Room from the kitchen.

	"Um, sir, shouldn't we go investigate the gunfire?" a grunt asked, shifting nervously. "Like, it's been a few minutes since someone went to go check on it..."

	[color=#b28c57]"No, that's what we have guards for!"[/color] the Tinkerer scolded. He was too absorbed with his work to notice Agent Raynor. [color=#b28c57]"Now hand me that arrow head - yes, the one from freaking Hawkeye's bow dumbass!"[/color] the Tinkerer shook his head as one of the grants started handing him the salvaged exploding arrowhead and the scientist started to fiddle with it. [color=#b28c57]"We can't afford to be late on this freaking account...You don't mess with Hellfire!"[/color]
