Escape

Margit may have disliked Alex from the very moment he met him, and the feeling was mutual, but that didn't mean he wanted to see him die.

Alex had already proved himself to be the most valuable asset they had on the battlefield over the last week, even more so now that he had discovered and eliminated this secret base all on his own.

If it weren't for Alex, the war in the Shen Wu system would have been lost the moment that Planet Buster went off…

'Shit, I only have 30 seconds!'

Alex didn't need to be told twice.

He didn't have nearly enough time to escape from the base entirely, which left him with very few options.

He scanned the room with his eyes and Spatial Perception, with his senses locking in on a maintenance hatch in the corner of the room.

Alex forced the thing open with his strength alone, rendering any locks on it useless, and dove down it into the tunnels below.
