[This isn't how this was supposed to go, but that's something Charlie thinks they've all been aware of since day two. If there was a point where this was going to go smoothly for them, where this wasn't going to end in a way that didn't involve them being drug out by the scruff of their necks-- it'd come and gone.

A fact that made all that more abundantly clear by the noises coming from outside. The explosion from the east loading bay is loud enough to penetrate the locked door, loud enough that it makes Charlie flinch. He shoots Chloe a sidelong glance, features momentarily stricken, before he looks on to Tempest.]

If you've got anything to reinforce this place with, you might want to do that now. Tess, keep an eye on them. ['Them' meaning the two remaining Initiative members in the room -- who Charlie swings to look at, hackles finally on the rise. It's been four days. Too long for this bullshit.]

It sounds like your friends mean business.
