Chapter 587: They Started Arming Them
We did a quick weapons check before we moved towards the door at the end which should bring us into the facility’s central security hub.
All of us advanced towards the door and we prepared ourselves for a potential ambush up ahead.
The door was closed but the blinking light over head meant that the door had power so we should be able to open it without using force.
Everyone got into position with the Pirate Lord and myself standing at the front, both of us using our Power Armour to protect the people behind us.
We made sure everyone was ready before the pirate at the end activated the console to open the door.
The door behind us suddenly slammed shut and I almost thought it was another trap when a voice started speaking from the speakers overhead.
"Beginning decontamination sequence. Please hold."
Right... This was a decontamination chamber after all so I guess this was just something it needs to do before opening the doors.
Sparks appeared near the ceiling and the lights flickered on before shutting off again which was followed by a loud hissing sound, no doubt the system failing after having been neglected for so long.
There was another hiss before the door in front of us started to slide open.
We raised our guns, ready to fire them the moment we saw any hostiles on the other side.
And when the door slid past me, I was greeted by the sight of... A completely empty room.
