The ten split into three groups—the front, middle, and rear—and entered a broad corridor.
Lucci and Bruno walked at the very front, G36K assault rifles in hand.
Having received professional training, they were impeccable in every regard.
In the middle were Weyland, Sebastian, Woods, Miller, and "Max."

Stone walls and sculptures shattered, sending debris flying everywhere as countless shell casings clattered to the floor.
Even a Predator
