Break Out (3)

Liam, Bison and Charlie scurry through the hallway of the 27th floor of the Tempest.
“The Intruder stole another Core,” Liam says as he rushes. “The first one was taken from Alia’s post. There are only three more in the building. I have two and the other one is kept by the psychics… I still have mine.”
“What is so important about these Cores?” Charlie asks. Liam ignores her question so Bison answers.
“The Cores are batteries. They are like the sun. Each one is powerful enough to give energy to the entire country… And they never fade.”
“That in the wrong hands could power million of deadly machines,” Charlie thought aloud.
“Yes thank you for that Major Jordan, I had not thought that the Intruder would use the Cores to power machines,” Liam said sarcastically, he has little to no patience for her.
The three stop at a sealed entrance. Liam inserts a key followed by a numeric code and the door opens. They take one step in and all freeze in disbelief. The room was trashed: blood was smeared on the walls and floor, tables, chairs and computers were smashed and scattered - there had been a struggle in the room. Lying on the ground before them are the bodies of eight brutally murdered psychics.
