Stallman started to hear a new alarm. A close one... oxygen supply alert. He hadn't heard that since drills. The backup oxygen generator turned on while auxillary power in the entire facility was toggled. That left the lights out for five seconds...

He used those five seconds to go to the service door and quickly enter the access key just before the lights would turn on. He quickl went in and shut the door, leaving the chaos behind him.

[i]Time to get out of here...[/i] A service vent was right above him.

Stretching his arm an unrealistic distance, he unclipped the panel and began to climb up the vent, squeezing in impossible ways... for normal people.

Halthar looked at the forest. At least two hex were in there, including a class A. It would take specialized groups to take them down, he suspected. In the meantime, though...

He went on the main prison channel. "What have we got for security?"

The response came from the Southwest tower, for some reason. "...Command is offline right now, it just went to aux power. Something's jamming the vents. We can send a few divisions over east..."

Halthar tuned out. [i]Only one thing to do right now, I guess.[/i] 

He joined the small force that was already making its way towards the foest, casually showing his badge.
