Okay. You can do this. You're only being forced to use your psychic powers, which you hardly understand yourself, under pressure. Or should you use anomalous instead of psychic? Is there a difference-
You swear you heard a footstep approaching you. You don't got time to dick around. Okay. Deep breath. With swift, precise motions you pull out the CACHE MAP and DAMAGED MAP from your inventory. Focus. You just need a way to see through the smoke. You spread them across the floor while scanning through them. How different is this building compared to the ones here, right?
Sparks of multi-colored light fly from the corners of your eyes as you try to strain your brain to see past the fog. Shit, this isn't working. This isn't working. You're only straining your head. You need something to push you over the edge. You don't want to do this but fuck it! With a bit of telekinetic help, you toss an UNMARKED VIAL into your hand and down it in one go.
It's thick, mushy, reminds you of curled milk that's been out in the sun for too long. As you force the liquid down your throat, it burns your tongue and throat and for a moment, you swear your teeth were going to melt if you didn't swallow it as quickly as you did.
<span class="mu-r">You cough blood onto the floor below.</span> FUCK. Yet as quickly as you did that, you feel your mouth patch itself up.
>-1 MAX FLESH UNTIL YOU REST OR UVX REGENERATES IT. FLESH DAMAGE NEGATED BY REGENERATION
Your head <span class="mu-r">immediately explodes into the worst cluster headache you've ever experienced.</span> Your body gives up on you as you send yourself reeling to the floor, a thick foam tinted green from the A-Energy in the vial oozing out of your mouth. It hurts to even think, let alone do anything else.
>-1 RESTRAINT, -1 COGIZANCE AND -1 MAX RESTRAINT UNTIL YOU REST or UVX REGENERATES THE LOSTSTATS
Through sheer force of will, you force yourself into a crawling position to be able to read the maps. Then it clicks almost immediately. Through pain, it all makes sense now. Your vision twists on itself as you see...something you didn't quite expect. It's hard to explain even to yourself.
Around you, the layout of the room is laid out in a bright yellow hue that's visible even through the haze. Everything inside of the room is clear as day to you. The room you're in is small, cramped, probably only enough to hold the three people inside comfortably.
There's a desk to the north of you, a chair a few feet away from that, two shelves with lit incense candles on them, and the padded section of floor you're on. It's all highlighted in this weird yellow hue that makes it impossible to NOT notice these nearby objects.
That and you notice that there's a hidden safe underneath the padded section of floor. Somehow, a whisper in your mind tells you the code to it and that there's a non-lethal sensor installed. You lift up the padded mat you're sitting on and with some quick hand movements, you pry the safe open and pull what's inside of it.
