With one eye on his sensors, Kieran worked furiously to retrieve his MS's readings of the enemy stealth MS and load them into his targeting ledger, so his computer would automatically scan for and detect visual distortions.

"Yes!", the mercenary said after finishing the new targeting software. He muttured a brief curse as he saw Hahli take down two more of the stealth units, and breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that no allies had been hurt. Kieran immediately transmitted the detection protocol to the rest of his allies' MS, and began to advance to the edge of the base as Hahli retrieved her Zaku's medical bays before following along with the prisoners. Making quick work of the guard towers and a couple more ambushes he'd detected with thermal scans, the SMC operative remained tense, fervently scanning the area for new targets. Finally, they reached the perimeter without further incident, and Kieran switched to the beam saber stored in his upper arm shield, using it to cut the fence in two places before changing back to the handheld machinegun and using his MS' free left hand to move the severed segment of fence out of the way.

"All right people, there's the exit!", he broadcasted. The prisoners began moving out of the pirate base. Kieran hesitated, and clicked on the broadcast button again.

"Hey! Does any of you know a female Faunus with the tail of a Red Kangaroo? Early twenties with auburn hair? Her name is Flannery Martin.", he said, addressing the escapees. The prisoners looked around at each other, before one matching the description walked out of the crowd towards Kieran's MS.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?!", she shouted, her hands clutching her stolen SMG. Kieran called into Bastion to inform them of Flannery's status, and learned that both his team and aid for the new refugees were on the way. He quickly synched his Scroll to his MS's communications systems, called a certain teammate, and put it in his MS' free hand to give it to Flannery, who took a couple steps back from the metal appendage as it lowered to the ground.

"I'm Silver Moon operative Kieran Castellano. I'm on a mission to reunite you with your twin brother Roderick. He's on his way with the rest of my team. Take my Scroll, he's waiting to hear from you.", the mercenary told her. Flannery's SMG hung by it's sling as she gasped and started crying, grabbing the Scroll as other prisoners tended to the overwhelmed Faunus, helping her to calm down enough to speak to her long-lost sibling. Kieran smiled as he got his MS back into combat position and returned to his vigil.
