[Naked Crook]

Burke nodded, as he saluted, and then turned to leave the bridge of the Vigorous Inferno. Burke proceeded back to the hanger bay so he could catch a ride back to the King Raven. Meanwhile: Anaconda nodded. He looked at both Xyrho and Dangerus. Anaconda: Very well. Follow me. Anaconda wasted no time in darting off, with both Xyrho and Dangerus in tow. Xyrho was very skeptical of this alliance, but he did not object. He knew that this could very well pay off in very short order. Meanwhile: Nighthawk watched as Jessica and Desmond readied their weapons. Nighthawk sighed, as he knew he was in serious trouble. He shifted his eyes back and forth...but it was HAWK who advised his next course of action. HAWK: Nighthawk...to your left...where the Spartan broke through the wall. Take note of the damaged transformer on the wall. Shoot it. You might be able to gain a strategic environmental advantage. Prepare to initialize Nightvision mode. Without hesitation, Nighthawk took aim and fired at the Transformer. The first round that he fired off, caused the Transformer to overload, and explode. The explosion had managed to daze both Desmond and Jessica, with William being less effected due to the fact that he was a bit further away than either Desmond and Jessica. None-the-less, The lights in the immediate area shut down, causing a local blackout. However, just as Nighthawk did this, Jessica and Desmond had already managed to fire off a few shots. Several of these shots did graze Nighthawk. One of these shots even grazed his helmet. One shot even managed to impact Nighthawk in the left clavicle, but was mostly stopped by the Kevlar. HAWK: Detonate the explosive on the wall...cover your flank! Nighthawk looked at the hole in the wall, and jumped through it, making a dive. As he jumped through the hole, he triggered the explosive that was attached to the wall, broadsiding both Lyle and Emma. Nighthawk heard the explosion go off less than 2 seconds later. He had no idea if either Lyle or Emma were able to move away from the blast or not. HAWK: Nighthawk...get up! Run!
