Rosette - Trial by Fire

<snip>
As soon as it was thrown, the guards turned and fled. Rosette dived
to avoid the grenade, but it detonated as soon as it hit the ground,
flooding the area instantly with a thick green gas...
</snip>
As the gas began to dissipate, the guards in blue bodyarmour all
disappeared out of the room, leaving their bio-hazard suited counterparts.
"Move in! Move in!" one of them called, a male voice. They raised
tazers, and pointed them at the almost prone form of Rosette. She was
sat on the floor, almost choking on the green gas. She looked up,
incapable of moving against her assailants.
"Target is secured." the male voice said again, firing the tazer at
Rosette. The prongs hit her stomach, causing her to convulse with the
power of the electricity that was now flooding through her. As soon
as he released the trigger, she stopped moving, but did not fall to a
prone position...
Instead, she reached forward and pulled the prongs from her, tossing
them to the side. The others in the group fired their tazers, but hit
nothing but air as Rosette rose to her feet quickly, readying her
knives. "Tell me where Jed Calvert is being kept." she said, slicing
at their arms and legs. The bio-suit tore instantly, allowing the gas
to seep in.
"He's on the..." he began, but was cut off as the gas affected him in
such a way that caused him to explode, as she had seen once before.
His Bio-suit held in most of the explosion, although shards of bone
were thrown in a sphere around him.
The other members of the team dropped their tazers and pointed towards
a door at the far end of the hall. "He's on the next floor down..."
they said, almost in unison, fear dripping from their voices. Rosette
left them alive, but ran quickly to where they had pointed. As she
got half way down the hall, she faltered, and fell into the wall.
"What's... happening to me?" she asked herself, as her vision blurred,
and her feet dared to move the opposite way to where she was directing
them. She struggled slowly towards the door, slamming it open to
reveal the stairs leading downwards, to her objective.
Holding onto the railing with all her strength, Rosette took the first
step downwards.... And fell. Her arms failed her, as did her legs.
She tumbled down the flight of stairs until she landed in a pile at
the bottom. All she could manage was a faint "Ow..." Fortunately,
she was merely cut and bruised. The hard concrete steps had torn into
her arm, her shirt now becoming bloodstained. Her mission was so
close though, that she moved onwards.
The door swung open slowly. In front of her was another door, a neon
sign above it saying 'Operation in Progress'. She shuffled slowly
towards that door, pulling her knives from their sheathes, readying
them for whatever lay beyond the door...
