[color=Olive][center]Liam Porter/Citadel[/center][/color] Darkness. Pitch-black. Liam finally was coming to his senses. [color=Olive]"Ahhh."[/color]Liam woke inside his suit.[color=Olive]"Sasha, what happened?"[/color]He could see he was in an old warehouse. [color=Olive]"Liam, I teleported away from the 'alien dudes' as you requested."[/color]Sahsa, his suit AI replied.[color=Olive]"Well, you were supposed to teleport me to base. Teleport me there."[/color]He replied angrily. [color=Olive]"Oh, you just expect me to do [b]EVERYTHING[/b] around here, do you? Well, get to base on your own! The teleporter engine is burned out."[/color] [color=Olive]"Damn it..."[/color]Liam replied. He got up, and stretched his arms and legs.[color=Olive]"Fine. The turrets at base can shoot down some ships."[/color]He said nonchalantly, and headed towards the exit. [color=Olive]"I highly recommend you avoid trying to make it there. We are half the city away, and there are heavy Arlaaekian reinforcements."[/color]Sasha replied, her robotic voice anything but soothing. [color=Olive]"Better call in some reinforcements of my own, then."[/color]Citadel stated.[color=Olive]"Did you get into that private comms channel?"[/color] [color=Olive]"Yes, sir. Opening it now. Anyone connected to the private channel will hear your message."[/color] [color=Olive]"Hello? Hello, calling all heroes. This is Citadel, I need backup. I know, I know, why would CITADEL need backup? But I need to get to my base and shoot down some alien ships. My coordinates are X: 97 and Y: -82. I repeat, this is Citadel, requesting backup. My coordinates are X: 97 and Y: -82. Requesting backup!"[/color]Liam said, exasperated to get to his base.[color=Olive]"Excellent message, Liam. Would you like me to run battery diagnostics?"[/color]Sasha asked.[color=Olive]"Sure thing."[/color]Citadel replied. -40 minutes later- [color=Olive]"Diagnostic 97% done."[/color]Sasha said. Then, something thudded against the door. [color=Olive]"Cancel diagnostic, Sasha."[/color]Liam said, on alert. The door hissed open. He had been found.
