As soon as Scythe knocked, Easy Company's Protos took up firing positions, and Sauron silently waved for them to hold fire. Sauron ducked out of sight and activated the intercom.

"You can't come in now! I'm doing the dishes!"

As the pounding and swearing outside increased in volume, Sauron motioned Arkady to open the door. Scythe found himself staring down eleven very steady gun barrels, which quickly lowered as Sauron walked out from behind cover.

"Good thing you aren't a "certain someone". I've got a few surprises coded to his genome scans hidden under the floor. These fine fellows are Easy Company. They'll be staying here for training and security detail on this little voyage. Now that you're here, I'm sorry about locking you out of engineering. I didn't want anything going wrong during the boot-up."

Sauron hit a few buttons on a nearby console, and a firing range rose out of one of the empty hangar elevators.

"Gabe and Echo, start another round of weapons training for the SW team. Karak, come with me. We're headed to the bridge."

Sauron turned back to Scythe as the trio left Hangar Five.

"I hope you can keep a secret. Just tell everyone it was a fire drill. If Avgust figures out I've essentially built my own command, he'll probably explode. This is entirely off-the-books."
