Takeru hunked down behind a piece of fallen debris as two enemy soldiers continued to fire on his position. "First a Mishhuvurthyar fleet, now a few intruders, what’s next?," he growled to himself and peered over his cover and at the two enemy soldiers in the distance.
They were hiding around the corners of the intersection, Takeru didn't have a clear shot but they could fire on him all day since his only other piece of cover was several feet behind him and that would take him straight to an armory that he had no access to thus it was a dead end.
As he took periodic glances over his cover he noticed that the two intruders were located directly under the fire suppression system. "Huh," he thought as he moved back behind his cover and held the pistol close to his chest. "I wonder if I can somehow set those off, there's nothing here that is flammable... thus the sensors won't pick up any fires, unless I can trick the system into thinking there 'is' a fire - except if I do that I might get sighted by the commander in charge of this station," he said just as two bolts flew over his cover and into the back wall - leaving black scorch marks where they hit.
He took another glance before searching his surroundings. He saw a panel just a few feet from where he was with two handles on it, he thought for a moment before crawling over to it and pulling it off. He saw various wires coursing their way through the interior, "let's see, this is a power cable," he said and stared at one of the fatter cables in the terminal.
Searching the terminal did him no good, he couldn't find any sort of a pad to access the system nor could he find a way to start a fire downrange. "Guess I'm out of options here," he said as he closed up the terminal.
Just heard the firing stop and pressed his back against the debris, he listened as the sounds of boots had started to get closer. A smile creased his otherwise serious face as he waited for them to get closer, then sprang up from his cover and pumped two shots into the nearest intruder; the body fell limp onto the ground, a pool of blood spreading out from the two holes - one through the helmet and another through the heart.
The other intruder fired but the shot hit the debris; Takeru fired a single shot into the soldiers firing hand, which caused him to drop his weapon. He was about to fire again when he realized his pistol was out of power, cursing lightly at his failure to pay attention he holstered his sidearm and leapt over the debris and toward the soldier - who was already unsheathing his knife.
Thoughts went through his mind as he watched the soldier; the soldier lunged forward. Takeru side stepped and pulled his knife out, quickly stabbing the soldier between the armpits before yanking it out and plunging it through the neck. The body hit the floor with a thud, Takeru smiled at his handy work and quickly pulled the knife out and wiped it off with a cloth he had in his pocket before placing it back in its sheath. He then took out his pistol and changed out the power unit, then looked down the corridor. "I hope I can run into someone who isn't going to shot me," he muttered to himself and took off in a quick sprint.
As he ran, he wondered where everyone was. No one was around, not even another Star Army officer, and the sounds of firefighting had dulled since his own fight. As he came close to a corner, he heard something and turned around and aimed his pistol down the corridor – but saw nothing. “Odd,” he muttered to himself and continued down the corridor. He ran for a few minutes before checking a nearby emergency map. “The elevator.. where is the- ah! There it is!” he smiled and tapped the location on the map.
He only ran for another two minutes before coming around a corner and nearly running into Hanako near the elevator, his pistol to his side he stared at the Star Army captain.
