it is most often used by those without honor. mccullen turns to see storm shadow, a well-tailored korean man whose soul has long since departed, standing on the other side of the room.
if you had sent me, it would be done.
mr. mccullen gave me explicit orders to sever the baron's spine if he so much as touched you.
i'll be accompanying you to retrieve the warheads this time. along with some of the men the doctor's been working on.
we go at dawn. storm shadow turns and heads out through the doors. ana stands alone in her room now, she heads over to her dresser and opens a hidden drawer. inside is a small box. she opens it carefully and gazes at an engagement ring inside. something sad and lonely in her eyes.  and we flashback to:
all that matters is the mission. ana pulls out a hi-tech scanning device which shoots out six steel blue beams in a 360 degree arc, creating a detailed schematic of the pit, showing rooms and people moving about them. she points down a tunnel beyond the electrified fence. storm shadow gestures to one of the neo-vipers. the man immediately walks over and grabs the fence, electricity jolts him violently, but the man ignores it and shakily starts climbing the fence. the skin on his hands and arms starts to burn and bubble.
acceptable collateral damage.
he's a cur! a frenchie!
mr. mccullen would be quite unhappy if i let you die. ana quickly and nervously starts to buckle in.
and what was your plan? run three thousand miles across the ice? he rips his star out of duke's shoulder. duke sucks it up.
stupid soldier. duke rolls over and stares up at them, breathing hard.
it will be done. and only then does mccullen greet ana.
we're under attack.
you took your vow of silence to avenge our master. but now you will die without a word. the loud noise gears up again, distracting storm shadow for just a beat. snake-eyes uses the moment to catch storm shadow with his feet, holding him up for a split second as the energy lasers come back on. one of them burns deeply across storm shadow's neck, he screams and stumbles back and falls over the edge and down into the freezing turgid waters. snake- eyes steps up and looks down to see if he surfaces.  he doesn't.
