“Target eliminated, captain. Bastard clipped me, but I’m still fit to fight.”
Stalnoivolk chimes in with his own two kopeks.
“Warrant fought well. But not well enough.”
> “Understood. Time for the final push, let’s link up first in case there are any surprises.”After exchanging locations, you head for a nearby wing of guest rooms that sequesters the only wing of the palace that hasn’t been swept yet.
Bonilla is busy performing some makeshift first aid after agitating one of his earlier wounds when Catalyst saunters over and smacks him on the back.
Almost immediately, Bonilla looks a little better, like he’s regained some of his edge.
Catalyst notices your questioning gaze and shrugs.
“Just a little cocktail of my own design. Slight painkiller mixed with a combat stim. He’ll be sore later, but he it should keep him on his feet for now.”
> “Thanks, but run that kind of thing by me first next time. Got it?” Your tone, while polite and sufficiently appreciative is one that implies that you will suffer no disagreement on this matter.Catalyst shoots you a thumbs-up and helps Bonilla finish patching himself up.

Stalnoivolk, Bonilla, and Catalyst stack up against the door, while you do some perfunctory recon.
Thermal Sight confirms that there’s only one occupant inside, most likely Delrio.
You give the all-clear to engage.
Time to end this.
