>>5870008The pounding of boots lighten as they draw nearer. Looking over, the swedish manhunter looked to be handing out polite praises. "Good work, Fahy," says L3 Eugen before she looks at you with a level of frustration. "Jarnafeldt, it was our every intention to have Fahy evade combat until I arrived to assist. He'd have been able to pull use the stun function to slow them down until I arrived. You didn't have to get yourself hurt like this."
You'll admit, you hadn't seen the volt machetes stun function in action outside of a small demonstration clip they offered you when you chose your track. But you do know you made the right choice. "The woman with the stake driver had rubber gear. She wasn't stunned, just flashed at," you speak to justify. "It wouldn't have worked that easily if these guys had that stuff too."
Sigrun's brows furrowed. Her expression was calculating, not untrusting. "Rubber gear...? Hmm. That could... Ah, I will theorize later. Sumika, make a note for the After team to sanitize and bring me the equipment of these people. I will need a closer look at them."
Fahy's heavy breaths calm down as Sumika clattered away at the keyboard. "Did ya see any more of them? On the way up, I mean."
"I imagine there are more, and they are simply <span class="mu-i">playing possum,</span> as it were. A larger host of non-resisting elements, hoping to slink away if they keep their heads down long enough." Miss Eugen put her weapons away. "Given the resistance we've faced, it's quite clear these people were up to something. More resources will be used to secure this hospital. So long as we meet no resistance, it is of no concern to us."
Sigrun calmly instructed Fahy to investigate the target location while she administered rudimentary medical care to your arm. Proper care would have to wait until you return to HQ. You almost forgot there were people in this building trying to kill you.
