"True. War often arrives before any of the civilians realize it...." He sighed, moving to a diagnostic machine more suited for an adult and tagging it. War always arrived before anyone was ready for it. And before everyone could get clear, he hoped with the sirens going off everyone had cleared the building. "Honestly they explained so little it feels like we're tagging blind. Tag as much as we can and hope it turns out useful in the end. I'd like to get to the research labs a level down and grab at least a few of the computer systems. Even if we just put them into our drop zone. Avoid anything that looks like it needs spare parts. Otherwise, if nothing else I'm sure tech will enjoy it."

"What do you think they blew up?"

He leaned to look at one of the terminals, frowning at the data and trying to work out what it meant. They used different terminology than he was used to. "Everything is shutting down, they're at a level three security break, all non-essential personnel and patients are being evacuated as we speak. At least there will be no more casualties than we can help."

It felt wrong to attack a hospital, to hear explosions ringing through the halls. To be planning to rob them and take what they could.

This was a place of healing, it should never be attacked. He pressed his lips into a thin line, hoping that Zouchi and Howard remembered their orders. At least for as long as it took the doctors, medical personal and patients to clear the buildings.
