"Let's get moving. Our doorway out of hell's not gonna wait forever" said Jacob, signalling to move forward, going through the doorway facing one direction alongside David, who was facing the other, swiftly clearing the path to the exit as the rhythmic roar of machinery could be heard beyond the doorway of the third floor control room, beyond which was a metal stairway to the roof. Within the room was the radio comm equipment, which would've been used to contact the mainland and any allied ships in the area, as well as communicating with the other base. on the opposite end of the room were a series of lockers and tables with files on them, undoubtedly containing communication information. The most noteworthy piece of equipment in the room however, was in the centre. a large surface with what looked like glass over it, now shattered and riddled with bullet holes. Jacob however, knew what it was. It was a HOTMAP system. Holographic Tactical Mapping system. It served as a map that was fed meteorological data, strategic positions, tactical information and other intelligence, recieving heavily encrypted information and translating it into visual data, simultaneously relaying the encrypted form to the comm systems to provide other bases with the information. It was usually only found in highly active military bases. Some of the wiring to one side of it was disconnected however, and tools could be seen to one side. Taking a guess, Jacob figured this base was due for a major upgrade. It may well have been slated to be the Centre of Operations for US forces in the region, once the research was in it's final stages. The irony was stunning...
