Scene: Exterior of Dr. Bureaus lab. Carl, Schaub, and the three remaining team members are hiding behind some crates in the street and the orphans are entering a code into the airlock security pad. They enter the airlock and the door closes shut behind them.
Dr. Bureau enters from the other door.
Dr.: Did you get her?
O1 (Rachel): No, we scanned the quadrant all the way to St. Wilde’s. She didn’t leave a trace.
Dr.: Matthews is going to be furious!
Rach: We need to check different quadrants. She was seen with another person, she’s getting help out there and she could be anywhere.
Dr.: I don’t care if she’s getting help, you are trained assassins! She is one person, her helper is undoubtedly weaker than her, you can handle it!
Rach: Perhaps you’d like to help us find her?
Dr.: You know I don’t go out there.
Rach: Oh?
She quietly activates the lock on the exterior door. Dr. Bureau notices.
Dr.: What the hell are you doing? You know I don’t go out there! I don’t even have a suit!
Rach: We are getting a bit tired of your orders. If you think you can do better, we’ll gladly watch you try.
She hits the button on the exterior door and the airlock wooshes open.
Dr.: Ahhhh! I order you, shut that lock!
The room quickly fills with toxic air. The Dr collapses and chokes. The team rushes in and shuts the door behind them. The doctor coughs and gags profusely.
Dr.: Who… who are you?
Sch: I think you know who we are. We are here about Agent Smith’s unfortunate demise. Would you happen to know anything about that?
Dr.(Coughing): Matthews made me do it. She didn’t want him interfering with her quest for immortality.
Sch: Ah, of course. You had no plans of your own.
Dr.: I assure you, I only worked for the cause of the Party! I had to bribe Matthews to attain subjects. With these soldiers the Party will be unstoppable! “As Above, So Below.”
Sch: The Party has no need for old fools like you or your outdated ideas of super soldiers and mindless slogans. World domination was only a matter of the mind. Feed it what it wants and it will curl up in your hands. A chip and an IV are far more efficient than immortal orphans at taking control of the world.
Carl, kill him, save his head. I’ll need a little gift for the Headmistress. She needs to know we’re serious.
Dr: Schnitzel Groß.
The orphans snap to attention and move in almost robotic movement as the Dr jumps through the interior door of the airlock. He closes it behind him and the outer door opens.
Carl: Quick, masks up!
The men pull their masks into position and begin to inspect the keypad to the interior door.
Schaub: Girls, what is the key code?
The orphans, still without masks, stare blankly at him.
Sch: Girls! We need to get Dr. Bureau. Remember our deal!
Carl: Why don’t they need masks?
The orphans pull on their masks. Then three of them grab one of the men and pull him through the exterior door.
Sch: What the…?
The men follow them outside and watch in horror as the orphans tear the mask off the man and hold him down until he stops gasping.
Carl: Fire at will!!
The men begin firing towards the the three murderous orphans, all of whom fan out when the other four join in a coordinated pattern and surround the men.
Sch: Kill them!
Carl: The bullets do nothing! They heal too fast!
Sch: Then retreat! We can’t defeat them!
They run away from the building back towards the nearest elevator. The orphans finish off the man they dragged out of the airlock and return to the airlock.
Dr. Bureau enters the airlock.
Dr: Lieben gros.
The girls immediately slump.
Dr: Never, ever, betray me like that again.
Rach: Or what? Your power is slipping. You can't even use us to protect you properly. You should have let us kill him.
Dr.: No. Someone has to report our success to the Party. Perhaps soon we will all have our place in the clouds.
