Osgood moved to the front of the little group of hostages and cleared her throat.
‘I do wish you would listen to me, I’m not..’ the blunt end of the taser weapon swung toward her, filling her vision of the trooper’s battle armour.
Above it the grizzled Ramiko rolled their eyes.
‘You’re not a field operative. We know, we heard you the first hundred times.’
Undaunted, Osgood moved the pile of junk she was clutching to her chest and raised a finger. ‘Heard yes, listened, no. I’m part of UNIT in the sciences division. You know science I hope, maybe I can help? Just tell your boss I’m here, please.’
Ramiko lowered the taser, glanced over at Saluko and they both sighed. Ramiko reached for the other wrist of the armour.
‘Thank you.’ Os smiled politely and slammed her junk pile onto their wrist.
The armour glowed faintly before emitting a growling noise not unlike dial up internet.
Saluko took a step forward before their armour did the same.
By the time they had fallen to the floor Osgood had removed another hairpin and started prising a hidden panel from the wall beside the door.
‘What did you do?’ the under secretary demanded with a remarkable degree of restraint.
‘Oh just a few office supplies, an improvised electromagnet and a working knowledge of how to transfer static charges over warptooth communications. It’s an interesting discovery from reverse engineering a remote controlled vibrator... you probably didn’t need to know that.’
Osgood pressed her palm to the concealed reader and let the hostages out of the room.
‘First left, second door on the right. Tell them Greyhound 2 sent you.’
With her charges released, Osgood removed the reader from its housing and engaged an encrypted call.
‘Greyhound two to trap one, over.’
