Maki kept a stiff grin as Trapp made some asinine comment about grudges and keeping things off the battlefield. Alice was obviously unaware of how to react to her anger, and it was perhaps retribution enough to let the dumb robot stew over it for a bit. "Yes, sir. No more passive aggressive behaviour towards UEE property, sir." She replied sarcastically, fixing her uniform and preparing her knife a little dramatically, to remind Trapp that he was the only one was really unarmed.
"Go ahead, Tin Girl, lead the way." Maki gestured with a bow to their left, which was the way towards the elevator. She had a rough idea of the prison's layout from when they were walking down, but since Alice actually came back to get them, there was no need for her best guess at the quickest way out.
The alarms started blaring and announcing an attacking force was on its way. It seemed like their beloved Captain missed her prized pilot too much to leave her alone on a Coalition planet after all. "Remind me to give the Captain a big fat kiss when we get back." She replied in response to Trapp's comment about the rescue.
"Secure the prisoners! The UEE is coming for their pilots!" The orders were barked down the corridor, loud enough to be discernible over the buzz of activity. Maki's carefree expression dissolved immediately to a professional, cold blank slate as she gripped the make shift shiv in her hands and charged.
The two soldiers barely had any time to respond as the rounded the corner and saw Maki come around in a blur at the same time, burying the weapon in the closest man's neck. In one fluid motion she pulled out the knife, put the dying man's body between herself and the second guard, and pushed, unsnapping the holster of her victim's sidearm and pulling the pistol out.
The poor fool barely had time to move his friend's body out of the way when she smacked him in the face with the gun, her legs sweeping his from underneath him. A swift boot to the face ensured the man stayed down for the count, as she turned around to check that Trapp and Alice were behind her. "That solves the problem of weapons." She commented nonchalantly, picking up the rifle from the dead soldier and removing his spare magazines.
"Let's get this party started, shall we? I'd hate to let our calvary have all the fun." She added, smiling manically.
