Pulling himself together, Z walked past Sandstorm and up the stairs toward the master control room. The shouting became clearer.

“...you have any idea...cost?!” a voice came from the room. “...think you can kill a Yooper?!”

The two agents stepped carefully into the master control room to see NUP, their superior, engaged in a vicious wrestling match with three Eagles commanders. Z was relieved to see him alive and noticed several other agents and colleagues were alive, though many sustaining injuries.

Meernik, a lab-coated researcher, whispered to the agents, “They stormed in here and nearly killed us all but when they shot the master flat screen, NUP lost it and dominated almost the whole squad. He needs you now though!”

Z nodded in agreement and the two agents approached the scuffle. NUP appeared to be holding his own but got caught in a headlock and the Eagle commander pulled out a knife. Z reacted swiftly and disposed of two commanders with with bullet in each chest. The third commander still had NUP locked and held the blade up to his neck.
