Doctor Karizawa - TEP HEADQUARTERS - LOCATION: GRAF'S OLD WAREHOUSE

"I know Tobayashi..." Karizawa responds with his head down, "I know..."

There was a few seconds of silence before Tobayashi begins walking out of the room. Before she gets out of the hallway however, a piercing alarm blares out throughout the entire facility. Both characters look wildly as they try to figure out the situation at hand. Then the phone next to the commander rings loudly and without hesitation, he quickly grabs it.

"Stein," he calls out urgently knowing that the line is coming from the control room, "What's going on out there? Are we under attack?"

"Negative Commander," confirms the Main Operator as he projects onscreen the threat at hand, "We've detected a large meteor storm heading towards our general location. There's a high probability that the asteroids may hit the communications tower in the mountainous sector."

Karizawa took a deep sigh as he keeps his composure in check.

"How much time until impact?" he asks cautiously.

"T-minus... one minute and thirteen seconds, sir." he responds with some hesitation.

"Direct all emergency shields to the tower." sternly orders the commander with haste, "Keep it on at max power until the storm passes."

"Copy that, over." Stein responds, putting down the phone as he faces the rest of the panel operators to repeat the orders, "Direct all shields to the communication tower, on the double!"

With that, the operators routed the shields protecting most of the underground base, which are safe and secure several meters underground, some being at most a mile deep. The shields can be seen protecting the communication array as a faint blue glow can be seen with a good eye. Soon the meteors began to flame up in the atmosphere and make atmosphere contact. Soon enough they began to crash to the wasteland farther away from the Machina base. Some of the flying rocks of doom flew dangerously close into the comms array as they raced across the sky. One of the larger asteroids hit the comms array causing a massive boom to tremble across the northern sector of the base. Every other meteor impact caused a miniature tremor that lightly shook the base, followed by the sound of faint explosions. Some of the lights flickered as they were effected by the underground shockwave of the collisions. 

It lasted for up to a minute, with some impacts taking place almost directly after one hit the ground, before the meteor shower finally subsided. The operators quickly scan the sky for any other potential asteroids before finally breathing a sigh of relief.  They check on the wasteland, now dotted in craters, both big and small. It almost looked as if a battle took place in that area. As they checked the craters, Stein dials the phone to contact Karizawa.

"We're clear Commander," he announces, "No confirmed damage with the main base. Unfortunately, one of the larger meteors have seen to have hit the comms and it seems to have taken some damage."

Karizawa scowls angrily to himself as he scratched his head.

"Send a repair squad to fix the damage." the commander replies annoyingly. Then he remembers about the asteroids. "Also scan the asteroids for any signs of lifeforms. I want to make sure that this IS a simple meteor shower and not some secret invasion force."

A quick minute passes by as soon as the scan was initiated... followed by a second one to make sure.

"Both scans come up negative." Stein responds confidently after checking the status, "No signs of life were detected on any of the asteroids."

There was a little pause in between the two. Karizawa seemed to sense that something looked slightly off about the strike.

"Something doesn't feel right." he responds suspiciously, "Send a mech squad to check the rubble and put their footage on screen. I'll be there momentarily to monitor what they find."

Stein sighs as he forcibly nods.

"Yes sir." Stein obliges.

If only did they do a third scan would they have found a certain someone...

Near the location where Zak secretly snuck into the base, a small group of maintenance workers rushed to the sight of the damaged comms array while flanked by two heavy guard bots. Being to preoccupied at their mission, they would pass a small hallway that leads up to a flight of stairs, the same one Zak was traversing down. The door leading to it looked as if it seen better days, being covered in caked mud and dirt, but still operated fairly well. If Zak were to peek out from behind a corner leading to that same hallway, he can see the workers and bots quickly run past him, as well as other human guards patrol the area. 

Zak's not going to get far once he gets caught by the guards, as they will be alerted to his presence. Not to mention that security cameras are locked onto almost every corner of the building, capturing anything that moves. If he's going to dare to be sneaky, he'll need to be smart enough to find something that can allow him to traverse the base without getting caught...

If he is to look up, he'll see a fairly large air chute by the corner leading to the main hallway... maybe he can use it to his advantage?
