"Uh -- Colonel?" one of the soldiers ventured. "Don't you want to oversee the interrogation yourself?"
Une looked back over her soldier at the boy in the cell, her glance fixing vaguely somewhere in the air above his head. "I don't see the need for it. It's highly unlikely that we'll get anything out of him on the first session, and I have work to do. I'll find time to attend to the matter personally... later."
"Hey, Lady," Duo called after her, "are you sure it's safe to leave me alone with only four guards? I might overpower them and escape!"
"Shit!" Duo groaned under his breath, edging nervously along the wall away from the guards. "My mouth..."
"Shit," Howard hissed, rising out of his swivel chair so fast he knocked it to the floor behind him. He barely remembered to key the self-initialization sequence on the computers, which would wipe all programs and memory, before he set off at a dead run down the corridor. "Heads up, people!" he bawled at the top of his lungs, knowing that this facility's open ventilation system would carry his words throughout the entire complex. "Pack up and make it fast! We're gonna have company!"
As he pelted down the hallway, doors open and people swarmed about, the secluded rebel base immediately coming alive with activity. One doorway slid open and a small-framed teenage boy with a long trailing braid poked his head out, blinking as he took in the urgency on the older man's face. "What's up, Howard?" he asked, swinging out to fall behind him.
"Just got a message from Ikari," the mechanic growled. "We've been found. Oz dispatched a squadron to take the place over. They launched at three-twenty."
"That means we've got..." The boy blinked as he did some mental calculations. "...Just under an hour," he finished, and stopped dead in his tracks as the shock hit him.

Une actually considered this for a moment, her gaze moving to the table with the explosive detonators, her hands curling around the lockpicks. At last she turned back to the guards. "Break his hands," she ordered. She then collected her remaining attaché, and swept out of the cell block.
