Chapter 242: Escape From Washington
“Come on, we’ve gotta go, we need out of the building now!” I barked out the command, trying to think of the best way back now. While I wasn’t sure on that yet, I did at least have an idea of how to escape. “Actually, no, not out, down. Get us to the lowest basement level we can find.”
I pulled up a new chat window as we moved.
| Dave: They destroyed the gate, we’re stuck here. Gamma, keep them distracted as we work our way downstairs. If you are in any danger, return to the System storage. Try to stay non-lethal still. Gamma: Okay. They are not much resistance, but that may have been a distraction, so that they could destroy the gate while they rally a stronger defense. Karlinovo: How long are you going to stick with that, realistically? They are trying to kill you now, I assume. Dave: Oh, if we come across anyone in charge, I’ll attempt to place them in custody, and failing that, as much as I don’t want to, I will kill them. They pose too much of a danger to us otherwise. But the rank and file, I can’t fully blame for this, we may as well be an invading army to them. And yes, I agree, Gamma. There is probably a large force mobilizing against us. Karlinovo: I assume you want me to find Timon and figure out how to get you back? Dave: Find him and make sure he’s aware of what’s going on, Elody too. I’ll let you know how to retrieve us once I figure out how the hell to escape exactly. Corey: I am going to start rapidly cycling out mana channels. It will tire me, but it should reduce the mana load on your cores, allowing for faster core energy regeneration. Dave: Appreciated. We are likely going to need it. Just don’t exhaust yourself to the point you can’t function. Corey: Understood. Dave: Beta, go cause chaos. Same orders as Gamma. Beta: For the Empire!
