Summary: Elsa has gotten herself into a situation that will be hard to get out of. She has a plan, but will it work or will it back fire?
So Elsa moved to the door and could hear the men still talking. They were trying to formulate a plan now that they thought their friends aren't dead. She set her gun next to her and had the wires just millimeters above the leads. She took a deep breath closed her eyes and pushed the wires to the leads before tossing it out the door. She grabbed her pistol and waited and waited.
Nothing happened. "HA. Did you think that would work? The EMP –" BOOM!
Elsa opened the door and saw five men and one woman all standing there with their hands up defensively. None of them reacted to her walking out the door. She aimed and pulled the trigger five times. She turned and saw the last target was pointing his rifle at her and his eyes were actually focused on her.
"How?" it was the voice of the man that had been arguing with the leader. He was taller than Elsa and had brown hair and eyes. He would easily blend into a crowd of people because nothing about him stood out, but she knew he was solid leader. Too bad he had to die.
"Chemistry. Batteries are chemical reactions and stun grenades have flash powder in them," she replied.
"Are my friends in there still alive?" he asked.
"Yea. I kept her alive for information and I didn't have time to switch to lethal rounds between them. Plus he got the drop on me, because I was careless. If not you would have never known I was here until you were dead," she lied.
"So what now? We both shoot and see who lives?" the man asked.
"Or we can put down the guns and resolve this like the good old days," she said with a sneer.
"Hand to hand combat?" he said with a sneer of his own. "You will lose."
"Let's find out," she started to lower to the ground and he followed suit. When they were both crouched down she started to lower her pistol and he started to lower his rifle the same. The both let go of the weapons at the same time and Elsa started to stand back up. He followed suit until they were both standing.
"Say when," the man called out with another sneer. Elsa took a step to the side over one of the bodies that had surrounded the door. Blood was slick and that was a good chance she might lose her footing with the bodies. The man must have been somewhat trained because he mirrored her movement away from the bodies as well.
The man charged probably hoping his increased size meant increased strength. It however didn't mean anything other than he was a bigger target. He swung at Elsa with a sweeping right hook that she effortlessly ducked under and gave him a blow to the ribs with her left fist. He let out a loud grunt and spun around driving his left fist down towards her head. She rolled to her right away from the man and he stopped his punch just inches from the ground. It left his left flank wide open which she took advantage of. She pushed off the ground and drove her left shoulder into his ribs. The impact made a loud crunch and sent the man stumbling.
He started to gasp for air as Elsa probably broke some ribs. He reached down and pulled a long knife from his boot. She reached around her back and pulled out her own knife. Her knife was shorter than his, but it just made it more mobile. He charged once again swinging his knife erratically. She moved to block his moves, but realized too late that what looked like erratic swinging where actually feints. She went to block a sweeping slice from her right when he changed from a slice to a thrust. The change was too quick for her to stop and his knife with right through her right forearm.
She gritted her teeth as the knife came out the other side of her forearm. The blow would have been debilitating to most people, but she was use to pain and it provided an opportunity. She dropped her knife from her right hand and caught it with her left. The man went to pull the knife out, but she gave her arm a twist and locked the knife in her arm and ripped it out of his hand. It hurt but it gave her an opening. Her own knife in her left hand thrust up and he was too close and off balanced to stop her. Her knife went between the ribs of his chest. She sunk it up to the handle and he gasped in shock. She pulled the knife out and all the color drained from his face. He collapsed to the ground and breathed his last breath.
Elsa walked over to pick up her pistol and one of the rebel's rifles that looked like still worked. She then went into the last room. The knife sticking out of her arm was an annoyance, but if she removed it she would lose blood a lot faster. She wanted to clear the compound and get back on Aren before taking the knife out. The final room had several computer desks and on them monitors which were several years if not decades out dated. All the wires led underground through a large grate on the floor. She could see several large servers running down there. She cleared the room and saw that screens had a slowly moving bar going across them and it was almost full.
She quickly sat down and saw that they were deleting files. "Shit Shit SHIT!" she yelled and quickly started to cancel the purge. She was able to stop it, but ninety five percent of the files were gone. She looked and saw there was about two terabytes of information left. "Hopefully its good information," she spoke to herself again. She then set up a remote connection to Aren. Aren's defense protocols were in place though, but Elsa quickly went through the multiple levels of security proving to Aren it was her. Then Aren's voice came through the speakers set up for the operators.
"Remote connection established. I'm glad you are ok after we lost our uplink –"
"EMP. They were a lot better equipped than I expected. They also purged a lot of information. I wasn't able to save much, but I hope you might be able to recover more than the two terabytes of information that I saved.
"Processing," Aren replied as she attempted to recover the information. Elsa picked up the rifle and climbed down into the server room to make sure no one was left alive. The servers were very up to date compared to the computers upstairs. Of course if you were on a limited budget the servers were the most important part. She was able to climb back up with some difficulty with the knife in her arm starting to throb annoyingly. She looked at her arms and saw that her sleeve was soaked with blood and it started to drip. She then looked back and saw a trail of blood drips along were she has been walking. "The information is unrecoverable. Whoever set up the server system had the emergency protocol melt all the hard drives after they were erased," Aren reported.
"Melt?"
"Yes they spun until they created enough friction to melt. It is common protocol in most top secret facilities now. They were very well prepared," Aren replied.
"The place is clear on the inside. How is the outside," Elsa asked as she put her arm above her head to save blood.
"Clear for miles. Landing next to the compound," Aren replied. Elsa had to deal with her arm before giving this place a through once over for the device. She didn't expect it to be here, but it would be foolish to not check in case. She would then plant an explosive device and wipe the compound off the map.
"Download the remaining information and hopefully it would give us a clue to where the rest are," she replied. "I'll come back to get some ordinance to wipe this place, but before I do I'll do a thorough sweep to check for the device. Also prep the medical bay for me," she expected what was coming next and it was sort of sweet that the Aren cared so much.
"Why do you need the medical bay prepped? You aren't hurt are you?" Aren asked.
"Not critically," Elsa answered as she headed towards the door. Outside she saw Aren landing just out front of the compound. The wind blew her braid around.
The ramp descended and Elsa walked up the ramp still holding her hand above her head. "Elsa why do you have an eighteen inch knife through your arm?"
"Once I'm in the medical bay I want you to scan my arm to make sure none of the arteries were cut," that was the only thing she had to worry about. Even that wasn't too much of a worry it would just mean more work and effort. She walked into the open medical bay door and a scanner went over her whole body. Even though she just asked for her arm to be scanned Aren would go above and beyond to make sure everything was ok.
"No arteries where cut, but the knife is adjacent to the ulnar artery. If you don't remove it in a perfect vertical position you may cut it. Also you have lost over a pint of blood you may go into shock soon," Aren reports.
"I can't go into shock Aren. Just give me a holo of my arm so I can see what I'm doing," Elsa said as she pulled out the medical foam to seal the wound. She also grabbed a bag of stored blood, tubing, an IV and bandages. She prepped the IV of blood as a picture of her arm appeared in front of her and she pulled up a chair. She positioned her arm until Aren flashed it blue to say it was the correct angle.
"Go slowly and carefully," Aren cautioned. Elsa grabbed the knife and pulled it out in one fluid motion. She thankfully didn't hit the artery as she covered her arm with a bandage and opened the can of medical foam. She jabbed the tip in the wound and sprayed until it came out the opposite side. The foam had an anesthetic in it which numbed the pain, only after it burned like crazy. She gritted her teeth and groaned at the feeling of fire that spread across her arm. She wrapped her arm with more bandaging.
Elsa then inserted the IV into her vein and hung the bag of blood above her head. "What happened?"
"I was careless and someone got the drop on me," Elsa replied as she waited for the blood to drain into her.
