Every plan has its perfect execution, and every plan carries the chance to go horribly wrong. For Cassian, it was both. The eldest Abrantes fought his way to the fourth level security room. Every security station housed its own encrypted communications center. For a facility this large, such redundancy was essential. It was also the flaw in their system.
His movements were swift and deliberate. Those he could incapacitate, he did. Others were not so fortunate, meeting death before they had the chance to react. By the time Cassian reached the communications center, the other prisoners were carrying out their own objectives. It was a coordinated effort and everyone had something they wanted to accomplish. Most simply wanted to escape. Cassian only needed to do this.
The message was transmitted. Without hesitation, he picked up the rifle lying on the floor and fired several rounds into the communications terminal. Sparks erupted from the shattered equipment as screens went dark, ensuring nothing could be traced back to her.He only needed her to know.
He was still alive.
