"C'mon, Adder!" Deuce raced after the android and her injured partner, and heavy footsteps behind him told him that Adder had finished off the pirate and was following.

Suddenly, his partner broke into song at the top of her voice.

"One dream in all of us still shining,
One star, the everlasting light,
So alone, so lost inside, to the end in paradise,
United, victorious, the sound of our nation tonight."

Deuce joined in, hoping the distraction would get them to the DoDAEG as soon as possible.

"In the dark December morning light,
Fall strong to the burning winds, the fires of Hell will forsake me,
Shattering the chains that ever bind us,
Suffering their pain eternally."

EPC agents were in hot pursuit; Adder swung her lightsaber at anyone who managed to catch up.

"Four strong, smash the silence, carry on like before,
Fires burn, still we battle, lost so far away,
Storm with hell fire raging, sun shines down as they kneel,
Lost in times and long forgotten, gathering miles away.
Tears fall inside the dream, our last days gone by,
Still alive we feel the pain tonight,
Stars fall through blackened clouds, in dreams sadness reigns,
A twilight star in the thousand lights for me."

Adder was nearly knocked over by a hulking EPC wookiee; its sword sliced her arm. Still singing, Deuce flung his dagger accurately. The wookiee fell with a gurgle, pierced through the throat by the dagger. Adder kindly retrieved the knife for him.

"And still we save a breath for the world,
Life brings up for us all,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight."

They had arrived. Ellen kicked the door open and opened fire at the EPC agents who had gotten their first. Adder burst through the door, just in time to block a blaster shot.

The agent froze, yelling with pride, "Hey, I blocked it!" and was immediately shot in the other arm. "DAMMIT!"

Cal, hobbling as rapidly as he could, finished off an EPC ferret with his katana.

Deuce, on the other hand, went straight for the bomb. Kneeling beside it, he grabbed a pair of wire cutters. Adder knelt beside him.

"Adder," Deuce murmured. "Do you have any idea how much it would cost to rebuild this facility?

"Deuce," Adder murmured back. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?"

Deuce gritted his teeth. "None at all," he replied, and cut a wire.
