Part 19:

A massive green field of plasma energy exploded in the middle of the lobby. The impact of the explosion blew Hawkin away and smashes her body on the locker across the lobby. Parker and Nikita lost their balance and fell on the floor as the result of the impact.

Then before Nikita and Parker could get up on their feet, a deep male voice echoed through the lobby "Delta 4, take aim." Then a man wearing the green enclave officer suit stood out on the second floor, looking down at the broken Brotherhood of Steels Paladins as he gave the command. 4 Enclave soldiers with the black and silver advanced power armor came out of their cover behind the pillars of the library lobby, taking aim at the two remaining Paladins who survived the booby-trap with guns sparkling with the same green light of the explosion from before - the plasma rifles.

"Drop your weapons now, and take off your armor, then you have my word that you will live. Or die" said the man in the enclave officer suit. Parker looked at Nikita nervously, as he hesitates on whether what he should do. Nikita, who was standing still, her hand shaking with anger and her head, stared right at the enclave troops. Then she took off and threw her flame thrower on the floor and began to take off her helmet and armor. Parker, after seeing this, dropped his gatling laser on the floor and took off his armor. "NOW, kneel!" the man ordered again. Then two Enclave troops walked towards them and put the two paladins in handcuffs. "FUCKING Enclave cowards!" cursed Nikita as she was being locked in handcuffs. The two other enclave soldiers picked up the BOS armors and helmets off the floor and the man said to the radio in his hand "call in the vertibird, tell them they are expecting two captured BOS members on their way to their interrogation for the code of the Citadel's entrance."

Chen observed the whole process in his stealth mode; he knew that to infiltrate the citadel, it would be much easier to gain access to the main entrance. In order to do that, he must follow the Enclave soldiers in a way that he could never be detected.
