Re: ICE9: The Secret War
No Dachi checks around very carefully, or as carefully as he can from his current position, before melting the screws on the grate of the vent opening beneath him. The last screw reduced to useless, molten scrap, No Dachi catches the grate before it can fall and puts it inside the vent just beyond the opening. This done, he drops down into the room below, crouching down in case he somehow failed to spot somebody.
