As we picked up the pace, through tunnels that had a layer of grey, powdery dust over the floors as the air grew a bit stale, I tried to put together all the limited information we knew on Leonis IV, from the mysterious Matriarch to the known Resistance cells, and filter it through these latest developments. My biggest worry was the innocent lives at stake here, the miners who would be caught in the crossfire. Even if Xara flooded these tunnels, my squad could hide for years, evading troops and picking them off little by little, but these former slaves, no matter how much they wanted to do their part in the fight for freedom, didn’t have the training or resources we did.

On top of that, I worried about Turner and Clara. Trying to contact them directly would either reveal our position or force them to break cloak to respond. Either was a recipe for disaster, but at the same time, who knew if they would fly into a similar disaster as we did? I simply had to have faith in their abilities, just as I trusted in Tulip’s, Alyra’s, and mine on this end. Anything else would simply keep me from focusing on the task at hand, saving the people of this planet from slavery and freeing Xara from the Mother of Chains.

Once I had come to the conclusion that I simply didn’t have enough information to add much to our plan other than we needed to speed up the schedule, I decided to make our time walking at least a little productive, starting by taking a quick look over the weapons we had wrested from Kritik and his former friends, as well as assessing the damage to my rifle.

I started with the familiar, slinging my abused weapon around to let my suit get a good scan of it. As it analyzed the situation, I gave it a real, up-close inspection. Tulip and Alyra both noticed what I was doing, and they each acted as guides while I was focused on work, the catwoman with a hand at the small of my back and the ex-Matriarch with the occasional brush of a wing.

Where the metal whip had wrapped around the main assembly of the Arclight, its cutting edges had sawed deep, cutting through both the outer shell and some of the internal electronics. While the damage hadn’t breached the particle charging chamber, the thing would have exploded if it had, I couldn’t tell if the chamber had been damaged. Charging a shot could cause a breach if it had, and I didn’t want a high-energy blaster exploding next to my face while I was aiming a shot, no sir. My caution was confirmed by the HUD as the weapon’s information popped up in my vision.
