Triumphant return

[Yoshimura]

Ichiro nodded simply at the Regus' directions. They were simple enough. Salvage what we could and get people out. He turned with Cross to follow his mission. Yoshimura had no problem with leading now. He had orders and they had to be followed.

First to the armory. Ichiro grabbed a pack and started filling it with Archangel weapons. He did so silently, and grabbed his swords while they were there too. Ichiro doubted Cross would understand. He had few possessions - and these were the only ones that actually mattered to him.

After he had filled his pack and Cross collected what she needed, Ichiro headed towards a computer. Just because he didn't like the things didn't mean he didn't know how to use them. He logged in and sent out a general evacuation order. At the very least, that would get the message to all surviving Atharim.

"Let's go,"
he said, facing Cross. "We can pick up stragglers on the way out."


As they left the armory, Ichiro could see his message had gotten out. Atharim were heading towards the exits. One moved towards them, and Ichiro stopped him with a hand.

"I need..." he began.

Ichiro took the man in a hand lock and twisted him to face towards the exit. "You need nothing. We leave."
Ichiro let go and pushed him closer to the exit. The man obviously got the hint because he headed towards the exit.

"We don't have much time."
he said to Jacinda. "We maybe have time for one sweep before we have to get out."
