As they continued on their way to the core of the reactor, lights began flashing, accompanied by a fairly loud, and odd alarm. Andre stopped in his tracks and looked around. His ears pinned back against his head, and he cursed under his breath. Over the speakers lining the halls, a robotic voice sounded. One he found very, VERY familiar.
"Andre Arashi. I knew they would be sending the best of their best to try and destroy us, and I had a very strong feeling that you would come for the reactors. After all, you and your kind are very smart. Finding the largest weakness of this ship must have been very easy for you." The voice stopped speaking for a moment, then chuckled. "Unfortunately, I am far smarter than all of you. I watched your progress through the ship, made sure that minimal forces were sacrificed to stop you before it would come to this. Alas, I not expected your healer to be so skilled. She has kept you alive fairly well, to this point. Sadly, there is no remedy for the death you will soon succumb to." The speakers popped as they were deactivated, and a different voice, obviously a recording, sounded through the reactor.
"Self destruct protocols activated. Isolating reactor from the ship to minimize collateral damage. Time to detonation: One minute, thirty seconds."
The ground under their feet began to rumble. From outside the ship, those battling on the surface could see the bottom of the ship underneath where the reactor was located open up. Grinding metal and creaks of all sorts played through the air as the reactor disconnected from the ship, and was being slowly lowered out of the opening.
Andre looked around desperately for what to do. The blast doors at either end of the corridor has been sealed. They were trapped in this single hallway. "Gods damnit! I should have known better!" He cursed under his breath as he continued to look around for any possible avenue of escape. He was beginning to lose his cool. He had not prepared for this, and he knew very well that, even with every ounce of his psychic abilities, he would not be able to shield the two of them from an atomic explosion, let alone the radiation. He punched the wall and growled angrily. "Damnit!"
