Luckily, none of them catch wind of your intrusion, more focused on packing up their gear and scavenging the fallen.
You head for the rear of the restaurant and start searching every nook and cranny for your quarry. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to be found.
Acutely aware that every second you’re busy with this is a second more for Marina’s mercs to escape, you re-double your efforts and discover a stairwell tucked away near the delivery dock. It leads you to the roof access, which is currently secured by a locked door.
You’re in far much of a rush for subtlety, and shoulder-bash the flimsy barrier off its hinges; charging through the doorway only to be met with a small boxy obstacle.
You don’t need to be familiar with the Cyrillic lettering on the side to know what its about to do, and fling yourself behind a nearby bank of air conditioning units.
The resulting explosion of shrapnel misses you by inches and embeds itself deeply into the unit you’re hiding behind.
They’ve got a hell of a sapper, you’ll give the mercs that much.
A few seconds slower and you would’ve been chopped hamburger.
You continue your hunt, eventually discovering a suspicious canister hooked up to one of the primary air ducts.
The canister is surprisingly small for the quantity of chemical death that it’s spewing, but you’re more concerned with the block of plastique haphazardly snaked around it.
Son of a bitch, they booby-trapped the damn thing.
No time for a controlled detonation, you need to dislodge it ASAHFP.
As poor of an idea as it may seem, you decide to…
> Defuse the attached bomb. It looks like a rush job, you should be fine if you can keep your nerve.> Leverage your enhanced strength and wrench the nozzle shut. Working around the trap will be tricky, but it’s ultimately the best option.> Overload it with a jolt from Lightning Bolt. If you can fry the electrics on the detonator, you should be able to just rip it off the wall.> Other?
