"Hurry up and get the weapons systems online!" ordered the Commander angrily, the radar showing Horus closing rapidly, despite the Dragon taking his time in the approach, the reason for which was unknown. "I'm trying, sir! P-1 is still mangling our systems!" responded the head technician, typing in command codes rapidly to try and shut off Horus' electronic hijacking before too much damage was done. "Defence systems online!" called the Coordinator, one of the large screens revealing the Railguns systematically starting up and charging. "Mark P-1 as primary target and fire at will" ordered the Commander, composing himself for the sake of the rest of the staff in the room, most of which worked to bring back the Command Centre to full efficiency using the power provided by the Atlantis station. as the Coordinator typed in the command, hitting the Execute button, the Status bar under the names of each of the weapons changed from 'Ready' to 'Target Acquired', the Coordinator eyeing the screen for a moment, uncomfortable. for a split second, it looked like the status had changed before he hit the Execute button. a moment later, his fears were confirmed. "For each mistake, a correction. For each problem, a solution. And for each crime....Punishment" flashed on the largest screen in the Control Room, the staff staring at the screen in awe, the words taking time to register, some of them not knowing the story of 'Primarch 1'. as the words flashed for the third time, the Status on the weapons changed again, from 'Target Acquired' to 'Firing Weapon'...
at that instant, a series of sonic booms tore out across the entire island as Horus ascended, all the Railguns that were used to defend the DHARMA base firing simultaneously on the very thing they were meant to protect, obliterating the base in a massive explosion of debris as Horus roared furiously, shooting upwards into the upper atmosphere, leaving his former prison behind him, pillars of smoke billowing from the smouldering wreckage, chunks of concrete and steel raining down across the island...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
