[i]"Holy shit..."[/i]

Solstice had heard a scream. Turning to look behind him the blond soon caught sight of the mission's first victim. 

Scrambling to free himself of his restraints Sol quickly stood, body already angled towards the suffering boy. Suddenly, an arm shot out in front of him, stopping him completely.

"He's already dead...he- he can't be saved." 

Equinox's gaze was downcast, his lone eye reflecting a hundred different emotions. The shorter boy bit his lip. "We have to go."

Solstice turned to watch the dying boy one more time. A girl rocked continuously beside him, whispering distraught, frenzied words. 

[i]Fuck,[/i] this wasn't a good start.

"Where's the exit?"

"Over there," Equinox replied, inclining his head to a place behind him. "The others were able to pry the shuttle hatch open. We can leave now."

Solstice nodded. "Yeah...I wanna get out of here before shit really hits the fan."
