As the explosive shell fired by 'Rook' impacted the wall next to the Swarm, Joe was a littlebit shocked, he for some reason missed the fighting going on behind him, so he turned around to see what was going on, and promptly spotted Papa Mike 'fighting' a heavily armored artillery NC.
"Stay clear of the hallway, Mike.", he jokingly said to Percy, while aiming the infrared aiming-laser of the swarm's missiles directly at the enemy NC. He then hit the virtual button to fire ALL the missiles. 6 of them slammed into the walls as the hallway was a littlebit tight.

In seconds, the entire hallway was full of exhaust plumes and fast, explosive pieces of metal as they flew over and beside the Papa Mike, and Mad-E to attack Rook. The missiles impacted Rook directly, some on the arms, few on the legs, but most of them centered on the chest; and the cockpit. As the barrage ended, the missiles apparently hit a fuel tank and the chest compartment exploded, blowing off its left arm, and what was left of its head.

The hulk of metal that was 'Rook' fell down to one knee, then fell over completely. After a moment, Percy and Joe could tell something was up. Soon afterwards, Rook exploded again, centered on the ammo magazines, blowing Papa Mike away by the huge blast. Thankfully, the P.M. was still in one piece. Little, if anything, was left of Rook, aside from a smoking crater and a ruined hangar-bay.

The captain theorized quietly, being overheard by the squad. [color=8882be]"Dead-man's switch? Good kill, Mad-E, Swarm. Recuperate, then finish off Bishop."[/color]

Percy felt like he ought to ask, but considering the small amounts of debris and no human remains in sight, Rook was [i]dead.[/i] He honestly felt sickened and almost guilty. They just [i]killed[/i] somebody. He only thought this briefly, however, because there's a whole other person to worry about.. Maybe they can just scare them off this time. He stood up from his previously blowing-away, and quickly made sure that everything worked again. It did. He's totally operational.
