"All right," Lucca said after a moment, her rational side realizing that her haste was going to get her into trouble. But then, she never remembered ever feeling like this before...
"All right--Edward, Michelle and I will get Victor. The rest of you can fan out on the lower levels, create a diversion--ans look for anythign "intresting", inventionwise and whatnot. If you can, take it; if you can't..."
She motioned to one of the engineers, who dumped out a bag of what looked like square sticks wrapped in a wax-paper-like substance--clearly explosives of some kind. Each stick had a diditl keypad attached, allowing the person to set the time till detonation. There was also a small tripwirte that could be pulled out of the box and tied to an object, to create a small-but-effective booby trap. The engineer then handed out three of the sticks to each of them--except for Lucca, who had more than ehough explosives of her own.
"And don't be afraid to use you communicators if you run into trouble--the other treams can help, and we can call in backup from the Lobby."
And with that she led the way to the elevator, which opened automatically as they approached. As it went down, each of the pairs got off at different floors. Lucca's trio was the last to get off, almost at the bottom of the elevator shaft.
As the door slid open, a startled guard turned, eyes widening as she saw who stepped out--just as Lucca was drawing her Wondershot. The pause cost him; the gun's blast sent the guard flying into the far wall. He slid to the ground, unmooving. She uickly looked both ways down the hall--no one else in sight. She the looked down at the Scanner again, then turned left. "This way...Edward, stay in front..."
