Dr. Lin Cheung stepped back from the thick safety glass of his office window as the huge explosion rocked the research block. He had been in his office when the attack had begun, and when the invaders had reached the block he had activated the security locking system, sealing his protective doors. Even through the thick walls he had been able to hear the firefight that had taken place. There had been a lull, then more weapons fire outside the building. He was uncertain what was happening because he had found the telephone system was no longer working.

Damn Kang, he thought.

Where was the man at a time like this? Away on his flight of fancy, searching for the people who had taken the stolen circuit board from the downed missile. Kang should have been on site to defend the facility. The way things were going it might not matter any longer. The series of heavy explosions assured Cheung that serious damage had been done to the site. So serious none of them might survive.

When the pair of cradled missiles was destroyed, the massive explosions throwing fire and destruction across the site, it simply confirmed what Cheung had imagined. The facility wasn't going to survive.

Something else crossed his mind and the thought chilled him.

Had the invaders planted explosive devices within the research block itself?

He felt the floor beneath his feet shake and the walls vibrate, and he saw cracks appear. As the multiple explosions ripped through the research block, Cheung stumbled as the floor tilted, then split wide open. The thick window glass shattered. Debris pelted him and his ears were filled by the thunder of the blasts. Flame and smoke erupted from the splintered floor, which opened beneath his feet. Cheung felt himself fall. When his terrified gaze took in the fiery scene he was falling into, he had time for only a short, frenzied scream before it engulfed him completely.
