[h2]Ruby's extraction squad - Entrance strategy, part 2[/h2]
"HRGHK!" A guard said as the last traces of consciousness left him and he went limp in Alto's hold.

He flet kind of bad, but he needed to uniform, and he was sort of his size. A few minutes later and he was an Underground Movement guard, and the unconscious body of the guy that he owed the title was handcuffed to a stall in the women's bathroom.

[b]"Lucky this guy had gloves."[/b] He said, looking down at his hands. [b]"Would've been troublesome without them."[/b]

It had been troublesome already, as the Underground movement had very few standard guards. He knew most of the guards were monsters changed by Isabella, the only relatively 'normal' ones being ones whose powers worked best in their normal forms. He snuck a look around the corner, and oddly enough saw no one in the hallway. 

[i]Maybe Isabella's having a speech somewhere.[/i] He thought.

He shrugged and walked out of his hiding spot at a measured pace, in a way that said he was meant to be there. As he passed a few hallways, it was clear that there really wasn't anyone there. Some doors were flung open as if people had gotten out in a hurry, but that was just about it. He pulled one of his maps out of his pocket since there was no one else there.

[i]Ah.[/i] He thought, [i]I didn't mark Ruby's room.[/i]

He'd been given the data for where Ruby's room was, but he hadn't marked it on his map. He sort of had to drop a message to her, about their exit strategy anyways.

[i]Well, I could really drop it anywhere.[/i] He thought, [i]I did program that beacon thing somehow.[/i]

He pulled a hard drive out of his pocket, mostly standard looking. He'd made some modifications to drop a message off to Ruby. He wasn't sure how it worked, but when he turned it on it would broodcast a beacon that could only be sense by technopaths. If anyone else looked at it, there would be nothing in it. But if Ruby took a look at it, she'd find a text document about their exit strategy.

He'd used his power to write out the programming, and it had taken a lot of lines of code. 

[i]Guess I'll just drop it here.[/i] He thought, [i]Hope no one notices.[/i]

He carefully placed the hard drive in a corner and turned to regard his options once again.

[i]One more thing to do.[/i] He thought.

[i][b]A few minutes later...[/b][/i]

[b]"What the hell?"[/b] He said aloud. He was in the Underground Movement surveillance room, wiping all traces of his entry and presence from the cameras. He was also watching an outside shot of the New Sun Corporation and the retreating figure of Elijah Craigh followed by a portion of Isabella's army. [b]"This might be troublesome."[/b]

He pulled his phone out and sent a text to Damien and Sefia that read:

Be ready for the thing at any time. Stuff's going down and we might have to raid early.

With that done, all he had to do was make his escape, probably.

[i][b]More minutes later.[/b][/i]

Sal perked up as Alto came through his makeshift door and slid it back into place.

[b][color=orange]"You're back!"[/color][/b] She said as she tackled him, burying her face into his stomach.

[b]"Why do you always act like you haven't seen me in days?"[/b] He asked.

[b][color=orange]"Because it always feels like I haven't seen you in days."[/color][/b] She said, looking up at him.

He was a little surprised by that.

[b]"Right, well, we should probably be heading back now."[/b] He said. She nodded in agreement and the two started to set off back the way they came, Sal still holding on to his arm.

[i]Maybe I should drop a line to Cedric.[/i] He thought as they walked, [i]I'm kinda worried about what he might do.[/i]
