"Tell ya what," said Clint "Your comms may be down, but mine ain't When my team makes contact with the lab, you tell euarantee on't touch nothin' there"

"Prole one of the scientists either," said Shuten Doji

Clint nodded "Sure Killing innocents ain'ton, everyone" Alexis spoke with practiced cal to crackle like living lightning A green circular barrier projected around her, and beneath it, Stella, Tox, Diamondback, Kris, Akan, and Falco

Outside of the barrier was nothing but exploding carnage Missiles and high caliber bullets and explosives booht hot hellfire

'All of you will regret trying to stop our research Research to evolve humanity beyond compare Beyond the chains that bind it to this world' Machine Mind's voice projected mentally to everyone

"Outta my head, you old creep!" Stella slapped the side of her head

"Can he read our minds!?" said Tox, alarmed

"Nah," said Stella "Telepathy's an extension of hiher end technos got it But he can only co fancy like that"

"Most of the firepower here is froht?" said Falco "Sooner or later, they'll run out of ammo!"

"Did you not read the mission report?" said Alan "Cyclops are like ive them an infinite supply of !" said Falco

"Infinite until they run out of energy," said Alan

Kris scoffed "If only Machine Mind wasn't personally supplying the severely underpaid for this ," said Dia out of this This is purely suppressive fire meant to keep us down Stall us out until the storm's traces pass and they can reach out to reinforcees didn't work," said Alexis "Andas well as I'd hoped either"

"Because Machine Mind is strengthening every single bot here," said Kris "He's got higher end technopathy that lets him move machines manually even when you blow out their circuits

If ant to get out of this, we'll have to destroy the rest of the Cyclops the hard way Note that I aain"

"Noted," said Dia productively I can deal with this h my armor The issue is that the et hit by an explosion

I know h to weather it, but Falco can't And yes, Kris, I understand your frustration - don't voice it again"

Kris gruibly

"I can do it," said Tox

"Het us out of this I just need to…switch," said Tox "My trigger It doesn't just change how I think It h the rock below us and take out the bots surrounding us without Lexis ever having to put the barrier down"

"Perfect," said Dia It isn't who I auys Only then can I go back and help Ace"

"Wait" Stella put a hand to her ear "I've got co for a few seconds before s on?" asked Tox

"Looks like on't be needing to fight our way through after all," said Stella She took in a deep breath and then yelled, "Hey you geriatric mind-peeper! Listen up! Your Sword on the surface has authorized us to get ant!"
