"I said *through* the base, didn't I?" Aerie shifted her path of destruction, punching a hole to the next floor down. By now, most of the Team Magma grunts had decided to just let the force have its way, and evacuate anything worth saving from out of their path; thus, the next several rooms were mostly empty. "Shouldn't we join up with the others?" Derek wondered, even as he stomped out a hole to the next floor that Keaton and Aerie had weakened. Aerie frowned. "Something...I don't know, but I'm getting a feeling there's something down there we should reach. As if Bob, or Smasher, is or was on the bottom level." *BZZRRT* "Bottom level," a nearby computer console squeaked. "Exits to evacuation tunnels. In case of security breach from above, standard procedure is to relocate key personnel and equipment to bottom level, for transport to other bases." Kitsu frowned. "That was convenient." Cass nodded. "Too convenient. Anyone else smell a trap?" Aerie shrugged. "So? We'll march right into it and blow through. Right, uncle Mimic?" The psuedo-zigzagoon slumped on Raffy's back mumbled something. "Don't worry, uncle. We'll get you out of here, but first we must complete our mission." TBC?
