Pain was spreading from Cedric's broken arm, but the 20-year old grit his teeth before placing the now-evacuated control room on lockdown. He knew he couldn't beat this Meta, he knew that he would die here, but not before using all of his 'genius' to buy time for the evacuation. Seeing that the spherical drones were useless, Cedric ordered them to converge on his position...where he would begin yanking out their batteries and plugging them into a socket in his Power Armor, supercharging it. Pointing his Uni-Beam again at Patel while (hopefully) he/she was busy trashing one of the walls or doors, Cedric let loose another beam of energy that would be directed at the thing's heart. Then, at the same time, he would order more drones into the roof and the airfield, to help coordinate the evacuation. -------- Healing Spore, meanwhile, was on the roof, and felt great tremors. -------- Constantine Ramiel King had heard of the attack on the IH HQ, but Gia was trying to mind-rape him in revenge for trying to wake her, and so he can't do anything to help.
