Ginsei nodded curtly. "I suggest we split up to cover more ground."
"Alright, both of you focus on the containment levels," Cyrus commanded. "Release everyone you can. Kane and I will search the research levels."
They moved swiftly through the collapsing corridors. Mochi and Ginsei disappeared down a side passage toward the containment wards, while Kane and Cyrus headed deeper into the research section.
Kane's enhanced senses guided them through the maze of laboratories and storage rooms.
