The base is huge, it seems like Del Fino had money left over after the fall of the company. Dread and guards stand around, talking or just guarding.

You see a ventilation shaft, allowing you to see into the War Room. You see Iter Mantis standing there with multiple high-ranking Dread and a woman. She seems humanoid, furry but with robotic enhancements too.

[b]He increases the range of his Audio Receptors, and listens[/b]

Iter Mantis is speaking. "Have you found anything worth noting?" The woman responds. "Python has a girlfriend, a possible weakness. Murph is dead, causing Minerva to be under a lot of stress. New members are fighting amongst themselves, making Python and Minerva's job even more difficult." "Good."

Iter Mantis steps in, seeing unconscious Scout. "Phantom, I know you're in here."
-
[b]He remains silent, deciding on whether to attack him or leave[/b]
-
Iter stares directly at the corner you're in. "Now, you can come out or you can be destroyed. It's up to you." After a few seconds, a Dread commander walks in. "Sir, we should get you out of here." He nods and follows the commander out.

[b]The door slams shut before Iter exits[/b] [b]Phantom uncloaks[/b] Heh. Time to pay you back. [b]A hard light blade on his gauntlet[/b]

Iter eyes Phantom as the Dread commander flies through the door, tackling Phantom to the ground.
