“There’s no time!” Vapor shouted. “You’re whole quad is crawling with police.”

“You’re right,” Sprite conceded, defeat in her voice.

“Reinforcements have arrived,” Scotty said.

Sprite cursed. “Scotty, I need an exit.”

“Go back through admin.”

“Negative. They’ve blocked access.”

“Can’t we just drop her back to private?” Vapor asked the room.

“If they’re watching admin, they’re watching private,” Scotty said, fingers hammering over the keyboards again. “We have to go straight to elite.”
