Liam Porter/Citadel
Darkness. Pitch-black. Liam finally was coming to his senses.
"Ahhh."Liam woke inside his suit.
"Sasha, what happened?"He could see he was in an old warehouse.
"Liam, I teleported away from the 'alien dudes' as you requested."Sahsa, his suit AI replied.
"Well, you were supposed to teleport me to base. Teleport me there."He replied angrily.
"Oh, you just expect me to do EVERYTHING around here, do you? Well, get to base on your own! The teleporter engine is burned out.""Damn it..."Liam replied. He got up, and stretched his arms and legs.
"Fine. The turrets at base can shoot down some ships."He said nonchalantly, and headed towards the exit.
"I highly recommend you avoid trying to make it there. We are half the city away, and there are heavy Arlaaekian reinforcements."Sasha replied, her robotic voice anything but soothing.
"Better call in some reinforcements of my own, then."Citadel stated.
"Did you get into that private comms channel?""Yes, sir. Opening it now. Anyone connected to the private channel will hear your message.""Hello? Hello, calling all heroes. This is Citadel, I need backup. I know, I know, why would CITADEL need backup? But I need to get to my base and shoot down some alien ships. My coordinates are X: 97 and Y: -82. I repeat, this is Citadel, requesting backup. My coordinates are X: 97 and Y: -82. Requesting backup!"Liam said, exasperated to get to his base.
"Excellent message, Liam. Would you like me to run battery diagnostics?"Sasha asked.
"Sure thing."Citadel replied.
-40 minutes later-
"Diagnostic 97% done."Sasha said. Then, something thudded against the door.
"Cancel diagnostic, Sasha."Liam said, on alert. The door hissed open. He had been found.
