Richard Litt stood firm as the tension around them grew. The tremors shaking the facility, likely caused by the Horizon's fire, served as a reminder that they needed to act fast. Every second counted.
Hearing Fawkes's warning and suggestion, he thought for a moment before responding, "I think he needs to come with us and explain exactly what message he's sending and to whom." After a pause, he shook his head. "We should leave together — all of us, without exception. Now isn't the time to split up." He glanced around, locking eyes with Kinley. "Captain, we can take as many prisoners as possible now and return as soon as we can to deal with the rest or anyone who manages to escape. What do you think?". He asked Kinley and waited for her reply.
"With the Horizon this close, we only need to find a spot where the signal can reach us to request extraction," he continued, his expression tense. "But we have to move fast. If that message was a call for reinforcements, we could be surrounded soon, and that would be a huge problem."

Lilly stood poised, every sense on high alert, while Lucy, her loyal K9 partner, sat by Kinley's side, ears perked and eyes sharp, waiting for a command. But Lilly didn't signal her just yet. They were still deep in this mess, and rushing could lead to mistakes. Lucy's patience mirrored her handler's resolve, the unspoken bond between them a testament to countless hours of training and trust. They'd both wait—ready for whatever came next.
"The Problem is getting them to where Horizon can get them, theres tons of Security here, Rather not deal with them if we really have too" Lilly told the group.
