"Ken..."

"In a sec sir." Ken squirmed through the various AI guarding the security cameras.

"Got it. Security cameras are now mine. Relaying false feed now." He saluted to the Captain down below. "You're clear, sir."

"Good. Everyone, quickly, past these cameras. Ken, make sure you have a firm hold of those cameras."

"Yes sir."

The rest of his squad moved stealthily along the corridor, towards the security station. They burst in, and killed the guards in there.

"Hua, relocate, head down here."

"Okay sir."

Ken packed up his laptop and bugging fibre optic cable, and hurried along to the security station. He flexed his fingers earnestly. "Whaddya want me to do?"

"Make security go dark, keep those guns trained on them, and make sure you make it look like a power shortage."

"Right." Ken's hands danced across the keyboard. He took out a USB stick, inserted, and a young woman started talking through the speakers.

"Finally, I thought that would never end. Now what?"

"I need you to hack into the gun system. Keep them trained on the rebels, Dana."

"Righty."

Ken immediately overloaded the cameras' circuits. He overloaded the lights, and anything connected to the power grid except the security station.

"Okay, still got those guns?"

"Yup. There's 2 outside this security station."

"Okay. I'm gonna leave you here. Make sure you don't get taken away from me."

"Yeah."

Ken radioed the Captain. "Cameras offline, lights offline, enemy activity though, recommend switching to thermal."

"Noted. Switching to thermal now."

Ken swept down the corridor to join his teammates. His team were preparing to breach the innermost room. There was the leader of the rebels with his elite guard inside...

"Right. Mendoza and I will take the left. Ken and Alex will take the right. Michael and Daniel will take the front, leaving Ron and Van to take the back. Flashbang on Zulu."

The team split up in different directions. Their silenced weapons destroyed the guard outside.

"Okay, everyone, on my mark..." The Captain's voice crackled through the comm. Ken pulled out a flashbang.

"3, 2, 1, mark!"
Ken opened the door, and threw the flashbang in. He covered his eyes and ducked behind the door. He heard the flash and his ears were ringing – he drew his MA5C while Alex dispatched of the immediate threats, and he followed him in, covering their backs. The room was quite large, and already trenches had been set; the Captain and the rest of the team were on the other side of the room, crouched behind a metal table – the rebels were behind 4 walls with windows, obviously expecting an attack. Alex and Ken were hidden by swinging doors.

"I've got a bad – "

"Don't say it!" Alex put a finger to his lips. "If you say it, then something bad WILL happen. It happened to me TWICE! Once on my first date, and the second at my Maths 4 unit HSC exam!"

"Whatever. Oh, SHIT. I'm picking up movement outside. Looks like the rebels were just rolling out the welcome mat."

[UNEXPECTED END]

"About time someone showed up."
