Tanya was still crawling through the vent when the lead barrage began, not ceasing until the magazines had emptied. On the moments that followed, loud bangs began to echo in quick succession, the sound typical of a high calibre weapon. The image of the elevator carnage suddenly flashed through her mind, and she knew that her friend had decided to go all-out on the security forces. I guess some people just don't know the meaning of stealth.

Deciding that it was probably unwise to step out into the heat of things, she made her way towards a vertical part of the ventilation system which connected to the floor above. Using her knees and elbows for support, she quickly pushed herself up to the balcony floor. Crawling around a bit more, she reached the air vent grille and silently removed it, stepping outside with the elegance of a feline.

She reached the edge of the balcony just as the man began to make his way towards the cylindrical chamber which held her quarry. Taking a quick glance at all the bloodshed around them, she quickly pulled out one of her pistols and aimed it right at the back of the man's head.

"Step away from the cloaking device."
