Meanwhile, in the elevator, heading back to the Control Room...

"Commander Isis... we seem to have a problem..." "What's up Cammy?"

"Security systems are shutting down... intruder alerts are flashing up all over the base..."

"Damn, I thought checks confirmed that we wouldn't be affected by the Charon Occurance's Solar Storms... ... Cammy? Was that gunfire I heard in the background... ? Cammy? Cammy!

But Commander Isis is answered by a screen of static; warning enough for when the elevator doors open at the Control Room...

"Hell... what the f*** are you bastards doing here!"

The operating room prepared, Doctor Angel returns to her laboratory only to find...

"Ohmigod... no... the X-Borgs destroyed... ... what the...   ... Jade... !   NO! What's happened here!?!"

"Can't you even guess, Doctor Angel... foolish creature... *I* happened here!"  "No..."

"Oh yes, Cy-Slut... and if I remember correctly someone here was going to be operated on and cut open... and guess what? It isn't going to be me anymore...!" ** zzzttt**...re-booting... **zzzttt**... restart XIXOX destruction process...

"Pah! I don't know what's more stupid; this mechanoid...

... or it's Cy-Girl inventors ...

...who thought... ... it might... ...be a threat to me!

... and now Doctor... Doctor? Oh, you want to run?

Hah! You can run, but you can't hide; we XIXOX can sense your frightened little CyGirl heartbeat... and I love the taste of CyGirl fear as I hunt my prey... almost as much as I love the taste of warm CyGirl blood!"

Doctor Angel flees towards the barracks - here there'll be heavily-armed, well-trained agents to bring the XIXOX down...

... unless another XIXOX has gotten there first...

... there will be no rescue for her here, Doctor Angel is forced to keep running... *sniff * *sniff* "hmmmmm, I smell fresh Cy-Girl..."

Tired, exhausted and afraid, Angel seeks shelter in one of the storage bays, in the very bowels of this Garrison...

"all of them dead ... so much carnage..."

"... so much slaughter... Commander Isis was right; those XIXOX are animals...

"What was that... it sounded like a pulse rifle charging up... ohmigod!"
