Quiet, Fear, Dread and most of all sadness. Those things were running through whatever is left of the Resistance, they've taken Major losses since the Surprise attack on Sunset Heights. Caught off guard by the sudden attack. The city completely gone by four Nukes and to top it all off two of the commanders are dead.

"Sure is quiet in here" Seth said leaning up against a door, leading into some storage room

"It definitely is Seth" Hunter said standing guard by the door as well looking over at his Jackal compatriot.

They haven't said a word to each other usually engaging in small talk since whatever is left of the Resistance had been very quiet not saying a word to one another or just helping the wounded that made it to the bunker. What a disaster it been.

"Least we're still alive, heard anything from Linda yet on Leng condition?" Seth ask looking back at Hunter

"She had to give him a double dose to knock him out again while cleaning out his eye, there's no doubt about it, he'll need a replacement when we get back to the valley" Hunter said as Seth nods in agreement.

They need rest and he's right, hearing the Jackal grumble about not needing rest turn into a ten minute debate before Infinite had to go check on Gadget the moment they arrive at the Fortress.

Feels like they've haven't been back in months, that's what it felt like, but it's only been several hours. Alas, the main computer room was quiet and no around to bother him. They need to make their next move soon while their enemy's are at bay. Another computer screen was showing the destruction of Sunset Heights for like the fiftieth time, the four nukes being set off in the distance and news station going crazy about Nuclear weapons being used for the first since like forever.

"If they want to believe it's the end of the world, go ahead"

Turning away from the computer screen Metal push a few buttons on the keyboard and screen images with flying rockets and mushroom clouds appear once more.

Such destruction brought fear when Nukes are use. It's' never been done before in public but now it has, even if the Resistance did manage to survive they took major losses in the battle. A Victory it was but it's time to get back too business.

Putting the USB drive back into the hard drive, an image of a map pop up once more with circles appearing on the screen.

"Just as I theorized, after 'phase three', we'll be able to move onto 'phase four' of our plan and when 'phase four' is activated, only 'three more' phases to go"

Metal rub his Metallic hands together once more, clearly looking forward to their plan coming together. Nothing will stop'em.
