"Why exactly do we have <span class="mu-b">that one Harvester guy</span> locked away in that <span class="mu-b">freezer room?</span>" "Boss said he produces a lot of that A-stuff. Best to keep him alive. Fresh. Extract it from him."
Fucking hell, this is worse than you could've expected. Everyone but Max immediately picks up on what's going on here: They have a REFINEMENT machine here?! Or something close to it, you assume REFINEMENT is a P-Corp singularity thing.
"Kidnapping people and dogs to turn into mulch?" Clover almost sounds impressed at how depraved this scheme is. "Why not capture an anomaly at that point?"
Seath narrows his surviving eye to remember what they might have. "Probably easier to do this in their eyes. We don't have REFINEMENT machines but we do have EXTRACTION machines. Old tech P-Corp doesn't use."
Max seems to remember something once she hears 'EXTRACTION machine'. "My great aunt once showed me once of those. You stuff something of value inside a small compartment. Then you turn a crank to shred it. The more value it has, the more energy it produces."
The mental image of what they're doing with the people they're kidnapping is enough to make everyone here sick. Yeah, no, you have to kill these guys. That's barbaric.
Seath raises his hands in mock surrender when everyone silently asks him why the FUCK D-Corp uses that. "We usually throw in harvestings from anomalies! Not people!" Whatever, that's besides the point. Kiara breaks away from the group to join up with the others.
You toss Clover four spare REVOLVER ROUNDS from your inventory. You know he's running dry on normal ammo and you rather not use anything special unless you have to. He nods, loading them into his gun.
>You have 8 REVOLVER ROUNDS left in inventory. Clover will have 4 left after spending 2.
Benjamin pats Max on the shoulder, "Hey, you haven't used your gun in a while, sweetie. Maybe you should try using it?"
"You sure? I'm not really much of a fighter, Benny, haha." Max nervously titters about the idea of getting into a fight but after fighting an anomaly? A buncha lowlife scum can't be too bad. "But...eh, no wait, no, these guys are assholes. Fuck it. Sure! Why not."
"I know you can do it." "Fuck it, yeah, I can do it."
"We'll stay behind until you clear them out." Seath wheezes as he sits down behind the pile of left behind garbage. Benjamin sits alongside him, ready to say something to him once the rest of you leave.
You pull out one of the GLOCK 83s you looted in Q-Corp and load it up. Max scrambles to find the DERRINGER she brought a few missions back. Once everyone's locked and loaded, the three of you ditch cover.
The guards don't notice the three of you approaching at first. The haze combined with your disguises made you pretty hard to spot until you were close enough where even Max (as untrained as she is) could land a decent shot. Sure, this means the three of you have to stand right in the middle of the street, but you doubt any cars are driving down it.
