The soldiers are too focused on the lights ahead that if they noticed the "rat" nobody says anything or glances in its direction. So far so good. Atom watches carefully for the soldiers in the back of the group to step into the tunnel. Thankfully the entire group does as they were commanded and rush in for an attack instead of splitting up.
The lights go out and the soldiers exclaim in confusion. Those in front of the group are even more confused that nobody had come into view. If they had a little while longer, they likely would have realized it was a trap, but the dark provides the needed chaos to keep them standing still where they are while the "rat" runs back towards the entrance. Atom's sight is closed in on the tunnel's entrance for signs of Ilphyl's small movement and heat signature. The instant he starts to pick up on something, he presses the detonation button.
Again, there's a boom and a strong wind from the explosion with loud crumbling rocks on its heels. Atom darts out from behind the rock formation to look closer for signs of Ilphyl exiting, biting his lip in worry that this quickly improvised plan was not as accurately calculated as he hoped.
