He gathered all the intel he could and secured the sample in multiple small containers on his hip before making his way out of the facility. The corpses of security personnel littered the halls as he made his way back to the stairwell.
A dull thud shook the ground all the way through Kilo's ship, then BOOM! A mushroom cloud of smoke mixed with the planets surface shot into the sky as the shockwave slammed into the ship with debris ricocheting off the pulsing shield.
BOOM…BOOM…BOOM! The continuous explosions rocked the ship sending Kilo to the ground as the shield deflected colossal amounts of debris. Whatever was causing this it was making sure the black site was destroyed. The only thing he could do was count himself lucky enough to reach his ship before the blasts, the smoke and dust filled the sky blinding Kilo in his ascent through the atmosphere.
Leaving streaks of light in his wake Kilo pushed the ship to its absolute limit speeding back to prospect.
"Kilo Uniform Victor - 6583 you are clear for landing on pad S-02 via request of SDF lieutenant Sylvis." The mention of the lieutenant from the flight controller made Kilo's blood boil.
Storming out of the ships airlock he raised his weapon to aim at the lieutenant. "I should kill you for what you did, tell me why I shouldn't!" Kilo demanded, hoping for a genuine reason not to fire. It was a tense moment as the guards had rifles trained on Kilo as he aimed at Sylvis.
"We can talk inside your ship unless you would like a private room." Sylvis politely offered in their usual calmness despite the dangerous position they were in.
In what felt like an eternity in the standoff they moved to a private room with just the two of them inside.
