Hades
I didn't remember moving.
One second, I was turning from Eve. The next I was sprinting past stunned Gammas, her screams echoing behind me like ghosts clawing at my ears.
"Pull the feed from the east quarter now!" I barked into my comm. "I want the locked room on live stream. Do it now—"
"Signal's scrambled for now due to the lock down," came the grim response. "Control team's tied down containing Subject E. All left wing feeds rerouted. We're locked out."
I swore violently and shoved past the techs in the hall, boots slamming the floor with every step. I could hear the elevator stuttering open behind me. I didn't care. I took the stairs.
Three floors up, Kael was already there, shoulder braced against the reinforced door.
"I've tried everything," he said without turning, sweat glinting on his temple. "Door's not budging."
"Override it."
