the fact that they've been able to 'settle' here as opposed to move from place to place, the fact that there's been no sign of danger from either set of adversaries has led him to actually thinking of it as 'home' instead of a temporary shelter, and as such, when it comes under attack...
he defends it viciously.
the fact that it's against colorful armor as opposed to the darker drab that the mob prefers doesn't matter; Callaghan dons his own (a flexible kevlar-like polymer, he and Tadashi had designed some prototypes for the mob but it wasn't until they'd gotten out that they really had a chance to explore it; combine certain experiences with mending his own [and own's] clothing growing up and he's managed to line his coat with it, among a few other pieces) and goes out to face them and buy time for Tadashi to get the most important items out and away.
the Six aren't quite in a mood to let him buy time. to be fair, he's being extremely hostile to them, and while at first one could assume this is all some misunderstanding, it gets ugly, quickly.
it's probably a good thing the fight doesn't last very long, because then Tadashi would learn that Callaghan's not going easy on them just because they're the 'good guys'; while he's never been outright aggressive towards them (a few of his plans have even relied on their usefulness, key word 'use'), this is not a pleasant thing to watch. his intent doesn't seem to be to kill or maim, but one can almost see the thoughts running through his head that if you can't dodge that, then you deserve to lose that arm and the like...
and his tools of choice?
well, once 'Yokai' had 'joined' the mob, the microbots were rather easy to reproduce and recover. he's gotten better with them over the years, and there's no portal to suck them all in to this time.]
set before-ish the majority of the above ALSO RHO LMK IF THIS DOESN'T WORK
