Part 1: The Innocence of Summer

Anna leant back in the chair, smiling with interest "Oh? You want to know about me? Not much to know that isn't classified"

Kit screeches in surprise and alarm. He attempts to hide under the table as the lights begin to flash and the building begins to shake.

Chris jumps a bit at the sudden alarm and hollers "Hot d*mn. What is that?!"

"It appears to be an alarm," Oracle states humorlessly. Looking to Anna, he asks her, "Well, Captain. Are there any protocols to follow in this situation or should we consider this another test?"

Ziggy barely budges, but stares at the others. "It's not an atmo breech, so how bad can it be?" Internally, he checks his memory for how they'd best get to safety. "Anybody have a portable light with them?"

Anna bolts out of her seat, looking to all the exits "God fucking dammit!" she looks to all four of them "That was a LARGE explosion,, this is definitely not a test."

She starts pacing "Alright...first things first...these doors shouldn't have shut."

"Stingers, standby." Kells seemed to be giving a command to some unseen person or thing. What happened next was the necklace she was wearing, or at least what Kit had thought was a necklace, began to light up, and come apart, hovering in mid-air. The smaller orbs whirled around the larger central one, the entire thing looking like some abstract model of electron orbitals around a nucleus. At least a few of the orbitals continued to project light, which gave the room some illumination. The entire thing seemed to be based on and take inspiration from the basic Nexus technology of drone colony swarms.

"I knew it!" declares Kit, from where he is crouched under the table. "The necklace was a trick!" He does not seem overly upset by this information and, in fact, crawls out from under the table to get a better look at Kells’ glittering swarm of tiny drones. They’re very pretty. He looks over his shoulder at his own useless, vandalised drone and frowns. "I don’t think mine does this…"

Ziggy moves to the door and holds the back of his hand against it, feeling for extreme heat or cold.

Chris looks around the room, trying to determine what other modes of egress may exist.

Kit couldn't help but chuckle a little, despite the circumstances, patting Kit on the shoulder. "If we survive this, I'll help see if we can get one for you."

Chris "hmmmms" a bit as he looks about the room.

"Thank you, Captain, but I don't need more eyes watching me."

Kit sees Chris looking for a way out. The vent is too high to reach but... "If I stood on your shoulders, I think I could reach the vent, Mister Rush, sir."

Kells sent her drone swarm to hover over Kit. "If you're intending to climb into the vent, you'll still need light." Then, thinking aloud to the others, "An attack or breach? It's the only reason why an emergency lockdown would initiate. It sounded like something outside, so the blast doors are meant to protect us, which should mean we still can release the doors from within." Kells looked for an internal override mechanism.

Ziggy says, "Doors not hot, so no fire on other side yet. Safe to break through." He looks for a control panel, while mentally checking the tools he has on him. "Maybe we can jury rig an override."

Kells nodded and moved to the door control panel with Ziggy, and begun to see if they could dismantle it.
