==== Kzenti Facility Operations Room ==== "Cortez, you and Allen set the charges. Make it a short fuse, but long enough for you to get clear. Then catch up with the rest of us." Cortez nodded in compliance, then looked over and gave a nod to Allen who was still catching his breath after the battle with the Kzenti. As the two soldiers began rigging the room with explosives, the rest of the team moved out down the hallway, and the room suddenly became very quiet. Cortez had to step over one of the dead kzenti to place some explosives under one of the consoles and noticed what looked like a data padd laying on the ground. He grabbed it and slipped it into his pocket. "Maybe its somebodys cookbook", Garret joked to himself. And continued placing charges. /-\ A Few Minutes Later /-\ "Allright, that should just about do it", Cortez said as he watched Allen finish placing the last charge. "Lets get the hell out of here". "Thats the best idea I've heard all day", Allen said jokingly as he pushed the button enacting the timer on all the explosives. The two left the room and Cortez lead the way running down the hallway, with Allen close behind. They were able to just make it around the corner when the charges whent off. The shockwave caught both soldiers off guard and knocked them both to the ground. "I thought It was set for five minutes", Cortez yelled as he stood back up. "I thought so too", Allen responded. "Do you have any antimatter grenades left?, Cortez asked. "One", Allen said as he pulled it out from his back pack. "Cover me", Cortez replied and ran back towards the corner. He set the grenade to explode when anyone came within 2 meters of the device, and attached it to the wall. "Allright lets go", he yelled and both men began running down the hallway again. /-\ END LOG /-\ PFC Richard Cortez ODA Weapons Specialist USS Chimera
