Episode 7 · Alan (Black Hawk), Pandora, Director Gordon
Alan covers Pandora's mouth in the storage room and cuts an escape hole with his laser ring. They crawl into a secret passage and drop into her office. Pandora pulls a sidearm on Alan. Deputy Warden Victor enters with armed guards to trap them, admitting that SkyEye bought his loyalty to start the riot. Alan radios for gear support as an orbital station drops a supply pod.
Alan holds his hand over Pandora's mouth so she stays quiet. He fires a laser from his ring, cutting a round opening in the wall. Alan leads Pandora through the hole into a hidden passage leading straight to her office.
Alan and Pandora drop down from the ventilation duct into the warden's office. Pandora pulls out her gun immediately and aims it directly at Alan. She questions him about his true identity and asks if he is a spy.
Deputy Warden Victor bursts into the office with a squad of guards. They draw their firearms and corner Alan and Pandora. Victor admits that SkyEye hired him to plan the prison riot and provide the bomb to Colin.
Guards hold Alan and Pandora at gunpoint. Alan switches on his earpiece to request equipment support. High above Earth, an orbital space station opens its bay doors and launches an armored supply drop capsule down toward the prison.
“I planned this riot. I gave Colin that remote-detonated bomb, too.”
“SkyEye offered me a payoff in U.S. dollars I couldn't refuse. They even promised to get me U.S. citizenship.”
“We hit a snag. Requesting gear support.”
“Copy. Gear will arrive by airdrop in forty-five seconds. Stand by.”
Victor and his rogue guards keep their guns trained on Alan and Pandora. Outside the atmosphere, an orbital drop pod plunges toward Earth, blazing with heat. Will Alan receive his gear in time to fight off Victor and save Pandora, or will the traitorous guards shoot them before the pod lands?
