In no time, the security squad made it to the hatch, and Metamorph took point down the stairwell to the westward side of the building. The young lion had a hunch that there weren’t many valuables to be taken this far up, at least none that these theives would take hostages over. It was all offices and cubicle work up in these floors so far. Otherwise, they’d be terribly undermanned to rob from a 40-story building.
On cue, Talos’ voice came in over the comms with the implications of all the main action taking place on the first few floors. With that information being absorbed, the Meta was soon to say something before he heard Nymph’s voice next, asking about the 36th floor. They’d gotten rather far ahead already, or so he’d thought until he heard her ask if there was anyone else on that floor. The relay of no’s from the rest of the squad made his blood run cold.
”Affirmative, Talos.”She had gone off on her own, which he could attribute to her wanting to prove herself. However, all he could think was about the fact that now was not the time or place…To make matters worse, she seemed to be in trouble with her sudden silence.
”Keep a cautious eye out for her, B-Squad. There’s no telling what she encountered on that floor.” Metamorph explained, keeping his voice calm despite a pit forming in his stomach. She had backup on the way from the squad he assigned her with. He trusted in Mirage’s capability.
With B-Squad searching the floors for civilians, C-Squad could focus on finding the cameras. As such, Metamorph led the way, checking doors to see if they opened. Being that they were looking for security, The Meta inferred that opposed to being quick and easy to open— The 38th floor. He took note of a keypad on the side of the door leading inside. Briefly observing the metal door, he saw the hinges on the outside, and the handle clicked when he pulled. Clearly, with this to being their destination, he gestured to the door.
”If you would do the honors, Iceburn…?”
