Zero had left the med center, against the Staff's orders. He had contacted Signas, but was confused as to what to do. He then decided that the best thing he COULD do was go to X.
Weak, he stumbled on his way, and eventually made it, passing out in front of the now ungaurded warehouse that held X. Odd enough, Wave Tortise, and IO happened to be standing nearby. Tortise, from his days helping the Hunters recognized him immediately. He ran over to him as fast as his little legs could take him.
"ZERO! How can this be?"
Zero, growing weaker by the poison virus in him did not say much. "Tortise? Wave Tortise?", He groaned.
"Zero what are you doing here? This place is dangerous, and you don't look well!"
"I needed to.....to get X out of here.", he said softly.
"We need to speak with him first. Do you know which building he is in?" Zero looked up at the one in front of them. He pointed, and said, "Building 13. This one right here."
"We cannot enter inside this structure. It seems to be gaurded by an incredible force shield. It looks to be strong enough to deflect any attack.",IO informed them. Tortise let out a sigh of frustration. Great! How were they going to get X out of there?
Tortise looked around for some clues. "Alright, we can't go through it. Can we go around it? Under or over?"
"That's a thought. Perhaps we might. IO tried to jump over it, but stopped short when his energy sphere ignited, and stopped him from getting fryed. "Under might be more difficult. And it looks like you can't teleport out of there either."
Zero said slowly, "Is there a way we can cut the power?"
"We'd have to fine out how the shield is connected, and take out the power couplings one at a time. We don't know how far away, or how durable they are. Besides, with those pirates up there, and the security down here, we haven't got the time. We also don't need to attract any more attention.", IO said.
Just then, Tortise got an idea. He reached for his comm-link, and dialed the secure line. One of Doppler's Operator Reps came on. "Dopp-Comm, what can I do for you today Sir?", the Rep asked, obviously aware that she was talking to a specialist. Tortise put authority into his voice. "Get me Thunder Ram. This is an emergency."
