[color=00a651][i]"Listen , I know you're ready to see this thing burn, I want to as well, that thing is creeping me the hell out."[/i][/color] He replied, glancing ever so briefly at the monolithic figure. [color=00a651][i]"However, our overall mission is to secure the hostages, any other objective is secondary and if you threw that grenade, then the cultists not only would have been aware of us and killed the hostages, they'd run down here to help whatever this thing is in dealing with us, so that's a no go."[/i][/color] He shook his head as he spoke to her.  

He moved away and back from Kat and the figure as slowly and as quietly as possible, placing himself behind one of the pillars there. Once there, he would draw his AT gun from his back and aim it straight for what one would consider to be creature's head. [color=00a651][i]"For now, you just focus on getting some cover and signal the secondary team to sneak in through to the other stairs up into the hotel while we make sure this thing doesn't move, do you understand?"[/i][/color] He asks, staring straight towards her, hoping she would not try to attack the creature while he was away from her.

[color=00a651][i]"By the way, you seemed to recognize this thing for a moment there, want to explain something?"[/i][/color]

[i][b][color=0076a3]“...I've seen something like it before.”[/color][/b][/i] She grunted in response. [i][b][color=0076a3]“Long time ago back when I was taken off the streets.”[/color][/b][/i] She didn't seem to care to elaborate, though. [i][b][color=0076a3]“Don't matter. We should just get rid of it.”[/color][/b][/i] She didn't seem overly concerned about the hostages.

[b][i][color=0076a3]“And I don't do cover. I'm gonna shove Remy into that things gut, and watch it burn from the inside.”[/color][/i][/b] Reckless? Foolish? Maybe, but that was how Kat always had dealt with things, and for now she didn't seem intent on changing her style. [b][i][color=0076a3]“You wanna signal the others? Be my guest...but I'm not letting that thing move a single goddamn inch.”[/color][/i][/b]

Minos closed his eyes and took a deep breath for a moment to try and contain his annoyance at his subordinate. She was stubborn was reckless and from the looks of things right now, refusing orders from a superior. [color=00a651][i]"Then signal the secondary team to get past us already, every moment we waste here arguing means higher the risk of our mission failing."[/i][/color] He said, now glaring towards the reckless young woman before him. If their first barrage would not kill this thing, then she would probably be quickly terminated by the thing in front of them, at least quicker than he would be. He could easily try to order her as her superior to get into cover, however, he doubted she would even listen if he did so considering she had ignored his first order.  

With that, feeling stupid for having even moved back in the first place, the large Minotaur once more moved slowly closer and closer to the large creature in front of them, keeping his gun trained on the thing all the while doing so. After this was all over, he would have to think for a punishment for Kat, maybe something relating to their late night bar outings, still, that would have to come later on.

Says the one who stopped her from finishing this problem in the first place. 

Rolling her eyes, Kat placed a hand to her temples, focusing on 'feeling' the people outside. As she couldn't see them, it was a little more difficult to accurately relay any sort of information to them, but she had been using it for years. A small distance like this was child splay.
[i][b][color=0076a3]”Captain, this is Havoc.”[/color][/b][/i] She pinged the captain from her position, using her old alias out of habit more than anything. All people in Fenrir went by their codenames. For safety, after all. [i][b][color=0076a3]”Get the secondary team moving. Quietly. There's...something down here. Minos is ain't lettin' me kill it so tell them to move up the stairs quietly unless they want to get felt up by some tentacle monster.”[/color][/b][/i]

While relaying the information, she didn't take her sights off the creature for a second, still holding her armaments at the ready.

As Minos approached Katherine once more, the secondary teams slowly descended down the stairs as silently as possible. Their sights first moved on to the figure in the center of the room, then to the man in the corner of the room, pausing only for a few brief moments to make sure these targets were not hostile in the first place before they turned towards Minos. The minotaur man simply confirmed the orders that Kat had relayed and signaled them to move towards the staircase on the other side of the room.  

Without even waiting another second, the secondary team moved to the staircase as quietly as they were able to. In the meantime, Minos simply frowned as he stared at the creature in front of him. [color=00a651][i]"This thing have any weaknesses I should know about, Katherine?"[/i][/color] He asked as steadied his aim towards the creature itself.

[i][b][color=0076a3]”You act like I know what that thing is.”[/color][/b][/i] She replied. [i][b][color=0076a3]”I don't, but in my experience fire works on most things.”[/color][/b][/i] 

[color=00a651][i]"As good as anything I had in mind, I suppose."[/i][/color] He shakes his head as he keeps his eye on the team. The moment they cleared the area and were past to the stairs, he turned towards Katherine. [color=00a651][i]"Ready to light this bastard up?"[/i][/color] He asked, his sights fully focused on the creature in front of him now. [color=00a651][i]"I'll even let you have the first shot there, Havoc!"[/i][/color] He grinned widely as he used her old callsign.

[i][b][color=0076a3]“Heh,”[/color][/b][/i] She reached for the frag she had reached for earlier. [i][b][color=0076a3]“And here I thought you were gonna make this date boring.”[/color][/b][/i] In one swift motion she had lobbed the frag to where the thing had been laying.
