With the door now opened, she had a really good understanding of the layout of the security features. If she could just make her way to the gamma radiation that would be ideal, and her suit would recharge faster, but she doubted this place had such a spot, so nuclear would have to do. "I just need an open vat of the radiation, doesn't matter what kind, my suit will absorb all it needs and we will be good to go. Don't worry you won't com in contact with it from me or my suit," she explained as she jogged down the corridor. She passed up the first three doors on either side before stopping at the fourth door on the right and punching in the numbers for the keypad. She could hear footsteps coming down the hall and her fingers worked faster. Green light and approval beeping, signalling her being able to swiftly open the door and run through, She held the door open long enough for Gabriel to grab it and push through.
This went on for the next eight minutes, jogging down a hallway, pushing in numbers at keypads at a random door before going down another hallway. It would be questionable as to how she knew where she was going. It wasn't like she had a map of the area, or could access it from the keypads. No her nose was picking up the scent of her quarry and leading her right to it.
At the last door it took five extra seconds for her to get through and once she opened the door she let out a MMmmming sound and walked right in. THis was even better, portable canisters filled with exactly what she needs. "Gabriel, grab a few, please," she asked. The first can that she came across she lifted it up, and this assortment of wires dropped from her elbow and magnetized onto the can. There was a small sound of metal grinding on metal and the release of pressure.
It took a whole minute for Shade's suit to pull all the nuclear power from the small can, the wires moving back into her suit. When she turned around she smiled, "That's better," she said and grabbed a few more canisters, holding them in the crook of her arms. "Now we won't have to come back for a few weeks," she mumbled.
An alarm went off somewhere, making Shade look up and nod to Gabriel, time to go, she thought and dashed for the door. They couldn't go out the way they came, since that way could be blocked. With cans in hand she raced for the other door, pushed it open and saw the huge vat of bubbling green goo in it. With a little calculating she went to the nearest computer, finger flying over the keyboard she found two things at once, a faster way out, and a distraction. With the way out memorized she punched in the code for a small explosion to take place on the opposite side of the base that they were at and going, and unlocked all the doors in their path out.
"We have five minute till Niva leaves," she said grabbing all the canisters she had a moment before, and dashed for the doors out. The rout was a little twisted and turned, but she never got them lost, and soon they were standing outside, the sound of a whirling helicopter not to far away from where they stood. "One minute," she said not really for anyone's benefit but her own. She was counting down in her mind, the seconds now flashing in her minds eye pretty much telling her to hurry her steps. Taking the chance that the helicopter was being controlled by Niva she ran towards the sound.
Thankfully she was right, and the sight of Niva in the pilot's seat, looking more than just a rushed and ready to take off. Shade increased her movement ands ran as as fast as she could, at twenty second left, she felt the ground rumbling. "Hurry up!" she shouted over her shoulder at Gabriel and dashed into the helicopter, hand reaching out the the big man to help him into the bird. "Let's get out of here," she said with some urgency.
