Ishani continues to try and stop the flow of information, paying little to no attention to her surroundings. She is only dimly aware that Wilhelm and Twist have left and the clicking of Saul's fingers flying over the keyboard beside her is but a part of the background buzz.

Drake takes the first blade strike in stride, his armor deflecting the worst of Wilhelm's attack. When he sees two more coming at him tiger-fast, he tries to get the hell out of their way.
Depending on Twist's actions, Drake took 3L from the first attack, so she could put him down before Wilhelm's second attacks, which he dodges
Ishani and Saul are finally able to stop the data upload after four long minutes have passed. Who knows how much information was reclaimed, or what?

Twist saw Wilhelm move in a blur and without thinking she dropped, as though her legs suddenly turned liquid she fell back- knees bending so that calf lay flush against thigh. Above her she heard more than saw the projectiles fly by where her body had been but moments before. Recoiling upwards, she used her momentum of lifting her body to launch herself at the man, her punching knives coming to her hands smoothly.
She felt as her knives sunk into flesh, the heat of the blood running in rivults over her knuckles, the shock of the impacts coming out with the man's breath- she could taste his death on her tongue. If her blows didn't do it, she didn't doubt that Wilhelm, no doubt already coming around for his next attack, would finish him off.

"It's not over," Drake grins, blood spilling from his lips. "It'll never be-" are the last words he says before the pain and blood loss are too much for the Kine to overcome.
His personal computer is open on his desk, still transmitting away, its shell encased just as the security office's to prevent tampering.
We're out of combat turns. If anyone wants to do anything else before leaving, now's the time. I'd like to wrap this up in the next day or two

Wilhelm scarcely pays the dying man a second glance as the man falls to their combined assault, stepping over his bleeding corpse to the computer. The supermagnet came into his hand, and he spent quite a while running it all over the desk top in front of him. Then he strode back across the room, and while he did not really have to kick the body in the side of the head as he walked by it certainly made him feel a bit better. "I think it is past time we saw the last of this place."
Hopefully Saul's explosives would end up doing more damage than he anticipated.

Twist looked up from where she was kneeling next to the man's body. She had already wiped her blades clean on his clothing but was doing a quick peruse to see if there was anything of use on him that could be used to make a quick exit- didn't these places have scanny pass thingies so they could stop busting down doors?
Standing she fell in behind Wilhelm, glancing back briefly at the corpse. "Oh I don't know- it was starting to get fun." Smiling she turned back, absently spinning one of her blades in hand.

Now that she has the transfer of information cut off, Ishani begins to wipe the system clean. Yeah, they could use the magnets and destroy everything as they had originally planned, but pieces can be put back together sometimes. It would be a total bitch to do considering they were planning to blow the place sky high but Ishani didn't want to take the chance on any information lingering in the system to get hold of. She would much rather wipe the database, then blow the place sky high.
She finds the correct commands to give to the computer and sets the wipe to working. This could take time unfortunately and she has no idea how long. She turns around in her seat and sees Dirge still standing by the door.
"Dirge, go get Wilhelm and Twist and get the hell out of here. Saul and I can take care of the rest. I am wiping out the information but I don't know how long this will take. I want the rest of you out of here before Saul blows the place."

"It was nice to finally strike back." He finishes cleaning his own blades, slipping them back into their sheathes as he began walking back to the Security Room. "And I needed a chance to cut loose."
Not to mention that if nothing else, there were a few automatic rifles lying around to claim. Those were difficult to find, and certainly useful in a pinch.

Wilhelm watches the magnet wreak havoc on the computer's screen before it blanks out. Ishani's deletion of data is more thorough, but can they really be sure they got everything? Saul leaves Ishani to it and runs to the R&D room on this floor, which has everything he requires to set a much greater explosion. "Don't take the weapons," he calls out in warning as he works. "Unless you want Corporate up yer ass. If its Horizon issue, leave it."
Saul comes back and lets everyone knows they're wired to go. The cameras in the office reveal the place to be vacant. The Kindred have succeeded in crippling the hunters efforts in Sacramento, though some scattered few have managed to escape. The Kindred leave the facility and Saul lights the place up like...well, like yesterday, in fact.
The sun has set on Horizon. Let all creatures of the night rejoice.
Fin.
