Part 2

[walk_ins]

There's a stink of gunpowder in the air; too much for the Station's air recyclers to clear out. Blood, too. But things have gotten quiet, except for the rare moan from the blue-handed defenders. Whatever forces are left to protect the Academy have given up on breaking the seige and have fallen back, waiting for the attackers to come out.

Time's running out.

Simon steps backward out of the room, and tilts his head silently at the corridor. Indicating the opposite direction.

Moving slowly and awkwardly, Dr. Lin goes.

Simon watches him go until he's hidden from sight by the curve of the corridor, then turns to head back towards the ship. After a few steps, he breaks into a run.

After another few steps, he draws his gun, and keeps running.

Dr. Lin continues on his path, moving quicker as he gets farther from Simon. He comes across the body of a Blue Hand and takes its gun. Then he comes to an intersection and moves around the ring of the skyplex, as fast he dares.

The station only has one place where the unauthorized ship could've docked. Dr. Tam can try whatever he likes to get away unseen; there's only one place he can be going.

Dr. Lin hooks a right, and heads to the same place. His right eye continues to twitch, and he doesn't put the gun in his pocket this time.
