[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]: Jim grimaced, letting out a small cry of pain each time she pulled a bullet. [color=773FE3]"Yeah, I think we got a - GODDAMN IT - a....a mole..."[/color] he agreed, gritting his teeth. He was considering her thought process - yes, S.H.I.E.L.D. did have files on all of them but they were highly classified. Not very many people would have had access to them. That was one fatal flaw a previous S.H.I.E.L.D. team had made - they assumed it was some sort of psychic threat, rather than realizing the obvious answer - they were fighting someone with security clearance. [color=773FE3]"...We're gonna have to test them all, kid..."[/color] Jim grunted again. [color=773FE3]"Even each other...Now...Where's the booze? I need a damn drink before I can do much of anything."[/color] He then laughed a bit, but it was painful. His wounds still needed to be cleaned - but how do you clean out the wound of a man literally made of rock?

	While Tinley and Nikolai had no problem getting to the suite without issue, Novikova and Sparky were a bit more clumsy as they followed. Fortunately, the squishy scientists didn't end up drawing undo attention to themselves. [color=cd0000]"Vait here,"[/color] Nikolai said, gently infiltrating the room directly to the south of the suite. Once inside, he gave a smile to the two off duty guards he found. They were both chugging sodas, way too tired to be pulling another 18 hour shift. 

	"Fuck..." one of the guards said as Nikolai struck. 

	[color=add3ff]"...How can I help?"[/color] Novikova whispered to Tinley. Tinley would be able to get a headcount of how many foes were upstairs by her mind control abilities - they were approximately thirteen grunts and one Big Bag on this level, not including her own teammates. [color=add3ff]"Von Bardas...she isn't supposed to see us, right?"[/color] Novi then asked. No one knew about Rhodes' personal mission. 
	
	[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

	Raynor shook his head at Niah, glad that Agent Smith had the good sense to drag her out of there. He and Tempest would be more than enough to handle these guys. She had healing and he had the magic of a free light show - not to mention the combat experience both of them boasted. Niah had done enough and although no one realized it yet, she was needed urgently at the Bus. But that would be for another time. A thought would occur to both Niah and Maria however: [i]where were Rhodes and Lee?[/i]

	Raynor grimaced, whispering to Tempest. [color=d86615]"Hellfire...You don't want to mess with those people. They profit off of the suffering of their own kind,"[/color] he explained. At least the Tinkerer seemed to be pretty distracted yelling at his grunts and bossing them around. From what they could tell, the Big Bad of the first floor seemed to be busy working on something. [color=d86615]"...I can flash bomb them all, blind them, if you'd be ready to come in and disarm them all - or at least, knock their asses to the ground,"[/color] Raynor whispered to her.
