[ Wash absolutely recognizes the look of horror, just waits for him to push it down. Look, he knows, he knows but Sonia is stubborn enough that arguing with her wasn't going to get anything done. He was going to come here for you anyway, and he'd rather do this with her in tow than waste time trying to convince her to leave with Lucy. He waits for an answer, inhaling with a noticeable relief when he tells him she's safe. Good.
That look on Byerly's face when he gets serious, he recognizes too and immediately appreciates, that's also good. He'd been hoping on being able to count on him when the time came, and it's good to have someone who's less of a civilian than Lucy and Sonia with him, not that they aren't helpful in their own way, but look. He's very used to things working in a very specific way, and he can't look out for everyone on his own.
( He glances very briefly back over his shoulder at Sonia, questioning, amused. They tried to break you out during a party? ) ]
Not much, but enough. [ Back to Byerly, now, just as focused, just as serious. ] The stunner net's down, the main and backup generators should both be down. Plenty of cover as long as we're careful, and we'll be taking an escape route straight around the back of the barracks building.
I want you taking point. I'll cover our six. [ Firmly, and just to absolutely make sure Byerly understands why he wants that, tipping his head slightly to indicate Sonia and Lucy behind him, his eyes fixed on Byerly's; ] You know what to do if something goes wrong.
[ Take them, and run. ]
Sync? [ Not something anyone here would understand, but he's in full mission mode, now, and from his tone and the look in his eyes what he's asking is clear enough. Acknowledge the directive, and lets get the fuck moving. ]
