Above her stood a very confused Batou, her most trusted and reliable teammate. Shock filled his face as he looked down at his commander lying on the ground, unconscious. As if a switch went off in his head he scrambled to kneel by her side. The sound of malfunctioned androids filled his ears as they drew closer to them. In one swift movement he picked her up off the ground and cradled her in his arms like a moth to a flame. He looked down at her with sad eyes as if to say 'I'm sorry'. He contacted the rest of the group and told them what happened.
Mixed conversations of "How could you do that?" and "What are we going to do now?" filled his cyber-brain. Batou quickly took control of the situation.
"Everyone, were pulling out. The Major's safety is top priority. Get back to the chopper, now" everyone quickly exited the building and boarded the aircraft. It then took off into the dark cold night.
