Memories: The Rescue

The way to the Captain's Cabin was through the Crew Quarters, surely is under guard. But the price to rescue Benny junior was not the same he asked, he was desperate and accepted the double for the job, that means I was going to have one hundred thousand credits, plus the extra for being the infiltration team, and that extra was one and fifty grand. That leave three hundred credits total, and since the extra was for the two of us, the payroll was high, very high indeed.

I had my Avenger ready, the "Shiny". It was named after I broke a door with it, and a woman from my N7 squad liked old movies, so she watched a movie with the name and in it, some guy named Jack Nicholson, break a door with an axe, so that's where the idea came. But I like it.

The way to the Crew Quarter was clean, but I hadn't reached it yet, and I was alone. If Matt didn't rigged the Armory and the Eezo Core before I rescued Benny, we were to be counting on only one way to destroy the station .Knowing Matt, he was going to the armory to blow the station to hell, also, knowing him better, he wasn't going to put a remote detonator, instead he was going to time it, leaving small time to someone stop the count. I normally agree with the tactic, but with a rescue going on we couldn't afford a time limit, and the diversion team have to evacuate first, so probably, Matt can see the situation, if not, then we might have trouble.

I was close to the quarters when some tem people passed running; I stayed hidden in the corner. This was a good sign, because meant the diversion team was causing damage, they weren't just cannon fodder after all. With this situation, the quarters might be unguarded, and when I saw the cabin witch Benny mentioned and there was two guys only.

I was cloaked but if I shoot, my cloaking was going to disable, so I used Incinerate by the door, the blast was going to be enough to kill both. I used the power, but one remained burning. With my cloak inactive I shot the guy in the chest a few times, he got down.

The door really was locked, if Benny was inside he had to be alive. I bypassed the door connecting some wires, when it opened, revealing more blood than I expected. He was in the bed, and his arm wasn't looking good:

"Do you applied Medi-Gel?" His arm was twisted and he was holding something.

"Yes, but was bleeding very much."

"What is that on your hand?"

"I rigged the Eezo Core, when I press this button it will increase the mass of the station." Finally good News.

"Wait a minute I have to tell my partner to go back, the Eezo core will be enough to bring it down."

I called Matt when I heard gunshots:

"I will not be able to go to the Eezo core, I already set the armory to blow, and it will cause heavy damage, and surely will open a hole in the armor."

"How you did it?" This was taking a bad outcome.

"One and a half hour."

"And how much we have left?"

"One or less, but we can shoot it from the space, I will leave a hatch open."
