She heard the sliding door of RnD opening, and Billie pointed a gloved hand behind her, “Stay behind the safety glass!”
Glasses on, she took the beaker of liquid out of it’s cooler, breathing slowly as she poured it over what was clearly an active block of C4. Once the block was completely submerged, she rushed back behind the safety glass, detonator in hand, “Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!”
“Three, two-” button pressed, it was silent a moment, before a crack at the back of the submerged block, and back of the table shattered in the explosion. Billie paused, before raising both hands, “Progress!”
She nodded happily to herself, before remembering, and turning back, “Sorry! Didn’t mean to ignore you, what can RnD do for you today?”
