Bitemarks 5.2

Dodging the unremarkable security patrol at Keflavik Airport proved an easy task for Skarletta and she soon found the building she was looking for. At one time it would have been the bustling hub of the Iceland Air Defence System; the control centre for the radar blanket watching over the country. Now it was a building abandoned by people, containing only the monitoring equipment as it awaited relocation to a new home. It was this equipment Skarletta wanted but this building itself was inconvenient to her needs. She needed the equipment closer to one of the radar sites to avoid being disconnected from afar and on top of that this building was too difficult for her to defend by herself. She would have to break in and move the equipment to the other end of the airfield where one of the huge radar dishes sat atop an old bunker. Of course, she couldn't have these trigger happy guards shooting at her valuable equipment as she moved it.
She peered through one of the grimy windows and saw a dull red light. Excellent. She gripped the door handle and tore it free of its housing, letting the door swing open, then stepped inside and waved her hands in front of one of the motion sensors. It tripped and an alarm began to sound out across the airfield. Skarletta took her position just inside the door and waited.

The sound of footsteps running was her signal and as they came she readied herself for the coming combat. It would be quick, clean and luckily for her enemies, unfortunately painless. The first security guard was perhaps the luckiest, not seeing what was coming as he ran through the door. Skarletta gripped the back of his head as he entered, using his own momentum and her own strength to propel him forward into the wall, crushing his skull beneath her palm as she followed through. In one fluid movement she spun around him as his body fell, snatching the pistol from his hand and pointing it through the open doorway. She fired once at each target she saw, striking a clean headshot on each unlucky guard. One or two were fast enough off the mark to fire but only one bullet struck her passing cleanly through her cheek. Perhaps as she'd expected the guard unit consisted of six members and the gun had enough shots to suit her purposes. With the unit disposed of she took two more guns, making sure to choose the guards who hadn't fired. These human weapons were remarkably effective and she found herself at least moderately impressed with the resulting efficiency. She grabbed hold of the first guard she'd killed and unclipped his radio from his belt. Not yet...
She took his flashlight too and made her way into the complex under its light. There wasn't time to be fussy over what equipment she selected. She spotted a huddle of PC towers and took three cases to one side. She slid the sides off and tore out the components and motherboards then quickly made her way around the room, cherry picking components and stuffing them into the tower cases. Once she had everything she thought she'd need she took a fourth intact PC tower and a bundle of wires and moved them over near the broken door. She heard footsteps and correctly presumed the second unit was arriving to investigate what was going on. She didn't wait for them this time. She burst from the door in one huge leap, rolled as she landed and came up on one knee as to make herself a smaller target. She brought up the pistols and opened fire. Six more widows. Six more children without a father. She chuckled evilly as she discarded the pistols and retrieved two more. Child's play, she thought as she ran at full speed to the main airport terminal.
