The moment Blaque checked on everyone's status after Darric killed Caretaker and left to go help Paige, Blaque looked out the corner of his eye to catch a glimpse of what was scurrying and hiding around. Breathing rapidly and screeching, this....thing that sounded feral walked towards Blaque. Physically it looked like a child but in terrible condtion as the arms were made of blades. The skin was pale and what the child was wearing on it's face looked like that of a doll mask. The hair gave away that it was a young girl but whatever happened to her, she was behaving like anything but human.
The girl rushed him as he pulled out his sheathed sword, blocking all of her attacks while responding to Priest.
I read you loud and clear.. And yeah, I just heard the rumbling. I don't know about these twins, but I'm sending Delta in to assist. I will need Bob to make a ruckus for the time being until we get the kids out of here safely. There are others I'm currently dealing with right now...I'll have to get back with you in a bit, but did everyone hear that? he asked, seeing 2 more of these children with different augmentations on their arms with the same dollface mask.
Willard... R0se... We need you to get these kids out of here; we're running out of time. What's your status? And Delta, you're up. Look for these twins that are heading to the family room. Stop them. Just try not to go lethal on them. They're still children. he finished.
The buzz of Blaque's voice crackled through the in-ear mic that Willard had been given before the mission, and initially shocked him, despite how the girl who spoke without moving her mouth did little to take him aback. Walking over to the girl, Willard spoke as thoughtfully as he could.
"Uh, hi there, I'm Willard - uh, Rose and I," - he pointed back to R0se -
"were just wonderin' if you guys could come with us outside! It isn't safe here right now," he finished with a grin, wondering if the little girl who spoke without moving her mouth was supposed to lead the other kids or not. He figured, if she could do that to other kids, she'd have to be pretty smart - and smart meant being the boss, to Willard.
R0se let Willard handle talking to the kids. She figured he'd have an easier time and they wouldn't feel threatened or intimidated by adults. She gave her best 1000 watt smile at the children to show she was there to help, not hurt.
The girl, Misty looked at Willard when he spoke and then to R0se while she smiled at her. Misty took notice to Willard's reason and request. Staring at them, the girl spoke once more with her mind.
"We are not allowed to leave here without Madame Ginger's approval..." she said
"Unless she will allow us, we can't leave this place or we all will be punished for disobedience." she said to WIllard. Misty tilted her head a little to WIllard's thought.
"I don't lead the others but I'm best for mental communication. I'm more feared since I can hear all thoughts that are being projected but I cannot control anyone's mind. I can and will eventually be able to do that somedy but all I do is hear and communicate mentally. I know it's rude to hear other's thoughts but it's intresting to her what goes through new people's minds." she said telepathically.
"Why is it not safe here?" Misty asked as well to both of them.
Practically just as soon as Misty finished her question, gunfire and a small explosion were heard from outside the windows in the room. Several children let out small cries, while most rushed over to watch what was going on down below. Willard walked over as well, trying to figure out what was occuring.
----------------------------------------------------
Loaded out in a Full Gibbson Combat Suit type D, she was like a modern knight of destruction as she stood in the door of the Areodyn Combat Assault craft, armed with a 4mm rapid fire gauss weapon spraying the LZ. Echo was at the stick, her agile mind sweeping through all the sensors in the area, compiling a complete picture of their surroundings and passing that on to Delta just before the Black clad Android leapt out of the Turtle, landing 18 meters below among a small cluster security, which she brushes aside with a brief spray of suppressive fire.
Delta landed, Turtle holding position North, Northeast of your position. Echo out, said the calm voice of the reclusive technician.
Delta was a fearful object not seen since the last great war; when her type ruled the world of Urban combat and Cyber Control Teams as her weapon clicked away making a strange ripping-cloth sound rather than a traditional gun sound as it's needles struck targets and penetrated deeply due to speed (6,200 fps) and small but hardened cross section.
Two of her foes thought they had the drop on her and fired 10mm assault weapon fire at her right flank striking her hard enough to cause spalling of her external armor and stagger her. Forced to turn her attention from the portal she was headed for and towards them Delta didn't turn the needle weapon on them instead firing a 2cm genius Flash Bang grenade at them from her backpack.
After catching sight of this new opponent and getting into position to open fire on the android, the objective now was to get this obstacle out of the way so to continue on their mission to eliminate the threat that's with the other children. The moment they noticed something similar to a grenade, the girl leaped, one around the corner of the hallway wall and the other into another room to dodge whatever it was. After the bang, Pheobe and Renee, went to try and avoid this individual. Renee,the dark haired twin that jumped into the room to avoid the grenade, went to pull out the sink from the wall, blindly tossing the object through the wall attempting to hit Delta.
Phoebe, the blonde was waiting to use her acid and hands to break through the armor that this android sported. Coming from the corner, spitting her acid, missing, hitting and melting a piece of the wall. The girls were wanting to get closer but unfortunately it seemed that this android was going to be more difficult than she thought.
Delta was forced again to follow the two in their attempt to escape her next attack and because they split up so effectively use her stock of four 2 cm dustbombs which required that she deploy their curveball fins so when she pitched them they few in four oddly curved but predictable paths then detonate about a meter off the floor. Moments pass before sight or even sensors are useful as the pink dust falls out of the air filling over 30 square meters of space then painting it in a light coating. As soon as the dust contacts moisture it chemically reacts and forms a powerful sedative and paralytic.
The exposed eyes and nose are the best targets because most close their mouths tighter in dust than their eyes but it doesn't take much to do the trick and Echo will examine the nessesity of the expensive use but Delta knows she can defend the position with the Twins breathing bodies.
By this time, both Phoebe and Renee started donning babydoll masks that could be used to protect them from gases and chemicals unleashed in the area. This woman...this...weapon...both girls didn't account having this much difficulty. The trick now was to get close enough for Phoebe to melt through the armor to stop this woman. In the mean time, Renee was going to start with unleashing heavy blows to at least slow Delta down. Ripping the toilet from the floor, Renee came from out of hiding to toss the item towards Delta to start things off.

"See, girlie, that's why it isn't safe here!" Willard shouted over to the young girl, pointing to the battle outside of the large glass windows. He made quick notice of some of the children around them cowering, against the walls or simply spread throughout the room, hands over their heads. Most of them looked pale and a few had shaven heads. Willard saw how their colors were darkened and terrified. Suddenly, he remembered what two people had told him only a few years ago, before he had joined Blaque.
'Don't use your powers unless it will help others,' were some of the last words Willard had heard from dad. He had often been scolded when he lived outside of the lab if he changed someone, like when the man who was walkin' funny and was shouting with that bottle of beer when Willard was 8. That was funny, how suddenly he fell over and started crying like a baby, though!
Willard looked over to Misty once more, determined to do the job he was assigned. Patiently, Willard lifted his hands in front of his chest, aiming his palms toward the children. He knew he had to make them happy and brave to get them out of here. His eyes slowly closed, and the little boy sighed, before his eyes opened again - and the brilliant green irises in his eyes glowed vibrantly, making his pupils practically disappear from view. A few of the children began to stand cautiously, before looking toward Willard, several of them looking more and more eager as time went on.
Willard let down his hands, and closed his eyes, opening them once again to reveal that the bright glowing from earlier had ceased. Slowly and softly, he spoke:
"Ms. Rose is gonna take you kids out of here - you don't have to stay here anymore. Lady Ginger won't harm you," though there was a strange wisdom in his speech, though the vocabulary was still humorously child-like, which seemed to cause a few of the children to smile and giggle. They began to walk meagerly to R0se, standing before her like shy deer. A few seemed confident, but still a tad bit standoff-ish.
R0se eyed Willard as he used...whatever it was. It seemed to calm the children down, which was a godsend. She smiled at took two of the children's hands and knelt down before them
"We'll get you all out of here and put you somewhere safe. A better home where you can all run around and play. Does that sound good?" She hoped they would be all right as she led them towards the door. She opned her comm to Blaque
"Willard and I have the children rounded up. Preparing to extract."Misty could hear the fighting as her question was answered. There was a little panic from her, but not as much as the others were panicking. She watched Willard doing something, causing the others to calm down. A smile came upon her face hearing that Madame Ginger was no longer going to hurt them.
Misty looked to R0se. With a nod, she spoke telepathically,
"...Thank you. I... I appreciate all of what you are doing. And Willard... Are you like us?" she asked. Blaque answered back R0se when she spoke.
Great...have you had any trouble? he asked calmly, when on his side, he was still getting attacked until he shifted his gun into sleep mode changing the ammo into sedative darts the size of bullet, shooting a few of the toy soldiers to sleep.
Back with Willard and R0se, the kids looked ready along with Misty, to say goodbye to the orphanage for good but...
Funny...I leave the coop for a little and I find a pair of foxes trying to steal my eggs... Ginger said while holding her closed umbrella handle. there were 4 toy soldiers appearing next to Ginger while staring down R0se and Willard.
