The sudden metal-on-metal clash of the door against the wall pulled Iron on full guard, the sword low, horizontal with the blade forward. It could, from this seemingly non-threatening stance, acquire a proficient range of fatal blows. The mathematical likelihood that he would need more than the sword remained low and distance, and then even lower as he heard a femaleâ€™s voice from beyond the doorway, soon followed by a frame as she stepped in. Inside his helmet, a scan of her frame and face were calculated as a profile came up: she was part of the system as well. Threat percentage lowered to zero; it would take more than that to convince him, howeverâ€¦ but he was more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.<br/><br/>â€œGood. Security measures fluctuated for a moment there.â€<br/><br/>Sheathing the sword, Iron took a step to the side and considered the moment: How long has it been since the security systems fluctuated, or malfunctioned? He turned toward her once more as the answer was clear -- they never have, not since heâ€™s been around. He made careful note of her gun, but his armor was specially designed and he didnâ€™t doubt that it could take the impact of most any of the current system of weapons issued at the present time. Of course, it would need serious upgrades once the new weapon systems are implemented and issued to all of the soldiers.<br/><br/>â€œYou could not have been here for the security issues. All soldiers were commanded to return to their post.â€<br/><br/>Discrepancies started to pop up in his head: she literally kick-smashed her entry to the room -- none were to damage military property, a soldier never would under a free-world circumstance.<br/><br/>â€œI am going to have to ask that you surrender your weapon and drop to the floor,â€ he finally said in a firm voice.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the streets not too far away, the streets were a riot: men, women and children were scattering about while soldiers fought against sudden rebels.<br/><br/>A transmission came in to his headset:<br/><br/>â€œAssistance is required in section 4, area 34.â€ Iron cursed under his breath. Heâ€™d have to deal with this matter before he could carry on.
