"How long to prep the airship?"
"About ten minutes."

Vasquez held the gun on the nurse and with her free hand drew out the silenced pistol from her belt and aimed it at the pilot. He reached for his holstered sidearm. She shot him twice in the chest and he collapsed on the floor.
"No one else has to die today," she said.
