They all shot up in surprise.

"What was that?" Lena said.

"I don't know? A-Athena?" Winston stepped back.

"W-W-WiiiIIII" was all the AI said, her voice malfunctioning

"SSsssssSSSSSSss-Som-wr-ong-wins-" Then, it went dead silent.

"Athena?! Athena!" Winston stepped back.

"Somethings very wrong..." Winston said.

The lights switched back on.

"Armories NOW!" Fareeha demanded.

"(Y/N), Emily, come with me!" Lena said, (Y/N) and Emily followed Lena.

They ran for a couple minutes.

"This way!" Lena opened a door to a room full of weapons and armor, she handed us both small handguns and vests.

"You two stay here!" Lena ran to the door.

"Lena I- what's happening?" (Y/N) put the gun down.

Lena stopped, running back to him.

She gripped his shoulders.

"(Y/N)... Please I beg of you, look out for Emily don't let anything happen to her. I'll be back soon." Lena gave (Y/N) another tight hug, then turning to Emily.

"Emily, I love you." Lena gave Emily a kiss.

Angela, Fareeha, and Winston all walked into the room, they were all suited up, just like the game.

"Lena get ready!" Angela said.

"(Y/N), Emily, you're coming with us." Fareeha said, grabbing an assault rifle.

"Where's your missile launcher, thingy?" (Y/N) said.

"Winston wouldn't want me to torch the place." Fareeha said in a madder-of-factly way.

"Makes sense." (Y/N) nodded.

Lena stepped out.

"What's happening?" She asked, now in her suit.

"We lead (Y/N) and Emily to the drop ship, we get out of here." Fareeha said.

"What? No, it's safer to stay here!" Lena demanded.

"No it is not! We have got a potential raid on our hands!" Angela said.

"Who is it?" (Y/N) asked.

"I don't know." Winston replied.

"It could be terrorist." Fareeha said.

Some electrical noise filled the room.

"Athena! She's back online!" Winston looked up at one of the speakers.

"Athena access security cams." Fareeha said.

"Fareeha? It's very difficult I- any recorded footage is just disappearing right in front of me!" Athenas voice boomed over us.

"Well what have you seen so far?" Winston asked.

"I'll try my best to figure out what's happening, stand your ground and don't move!" Athena said.

"This is bad." Lena said.

"Oh you really think so?" (Y/N) sarcastically replied.

"I've got bad news." Athena said.

No one said anything, they all looked at each other in worry.

"It's talon, Winston." Athena said.
