Disclaimer: anything recognizable is property of Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc. The story is mine though. I had to take a couple creative liberties, but only on things never explained in the series. I also used my own translator for the Manderin, so it may not be perfect (although either way, it is comical).

“According to the schematics Bill pulled up, the lift should be at the end of this hallway.” I had just turned a corner with Tobias right behind me. Knowing that there had to be guards there, I pulled two pistols out of my belt and let them take the lead. Go figure, I was right. Standing in front of our intended ride were three guards. I let my Peacemakers do the talking to the two on the left, while Tobias made a perfect shot to the one on the right. We got into the lift and rode it up. “I’m surprised no one knows we’re here yet.”

We got off two levels above where we started. Two guards were on the outside of the lift. Both Tobias and I clubbed them with our guns. Another turned the corner a few feet away. Tobias took this one out with a nice shot to the chest. We kept going straight. We were right outside the room we were hoping Serra was in when the alarms blared.

“Well lad, looks like the stealth portion of this mission is over.” Tobias went into the closed doorway for cover.

But no one was coming after us leaving me baffled as to why this was so easy. I stared at the lock for the door. A few seconds later, it clicked, and the door opened. One problem: everybody who was supposed to come after us en route according to our plans was waiting for us on the other side of the door. A squadron of twelve Federal Security officers came into view, half of them with sonic rifles, half with government-issue semi-automatic rifles. The ones with the sonic rifles fired en masse. I had enough time to back up to the other side of the doorway with Tobias. The other six started firing. As we were behind cover, we weren’t hit. I pulled out two fresh Peacemakers.
