Natascha moved quickly, quickly flicking on her stealth field she took the scalpel and slid in behind the second soldier. She uncloaked behind him and grabbed him from behind quickly putting the scalpel to his neck. "Move and you die Sooka." She whispers in his ear.
Natascha feels a sharp pain near her stomach as a warning light flashed in her eyes, signaling that she was now drawing from reserve power.
Feeling the blade dig into his neck is enough to let the man relinquish his new found courage.
Without hesitation he simply lets the weapon fall out of his hands, while raising his arms in the same motion.
"Good." Matruso releases the leader and pushes him against a nearby wall.
"I think we need some answers, and something tells me you don't have them. Tell me, who's in charge around here?"
"I-I, I don't know!" The man exclaims, ripping off his gas mask in an attempt to get more air into his lungs.
It's apparent that he is a fairly raw piece of meat, barely out of his teens.
"I just follow orders! These guys are clones, they don't know anything either!"
The Slav nods, emerald eyes flickering with electronic fire. "Alrighty then. Tell me, were you planning on using that shotgun?"
He gestures to Jaqueline, who was now hefting the 10 gauge in the third soldier's general direction.
"No sir." The leader replies, hoping for a bit of respite.
"No? Then why did you have it?" Matruso demands.
The young man winces, realizing that his bargain for mercy has been rescinded. "We were ordered to..."
"ORDERED TO WHAT!?" Lt. Fallon was losing his patience at this point.
No one who was this green should be in charge of men, clones or not.
"To kill you, sir." The man seems to have found a well of courage.
Shaking off his anger, Matruso comes full circle. "Who ordered you to kill us? How do they contact you?"
Sheepishly, the man hands Matruso a cell phone. In turn, Lt. Fallon tosses the unit to Jack.
"You and human can opener need to find out who's on the other end.
In the meantime, let's move piss briches and his clone lackeys into the room."
