>>5776792Your eyelids feel heavy on your aching face as you struggle to keep them open, but just when you think it’s safe to rest, your ears and eyes are blasted by a flash of red lights and a warning klaxon!
https://youtu.be/eWqMjiVKpQE‘<span class="mu-r">WARNING! WARNING! DEAD MAN’S SWITCH SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED! ALL PERSONNEL EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! WARNING! WARNING! DEAD MAN’S SWITCH SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!</span>’
As the warning loops at deafening volume, you feel a rough hand usher you back to your feet!
“Up an’ attem’, kid–I ain’t gonna be able to carry your ass too!”
Right, you think as you wordlessly stumble to your feet, Raj is still out like a light! Taking a few steps towards the airlock you entered from, you stagger as the candy shifts below you until another hand clasps around your wrist!
“How ya’ feelin’, sandcrab?” Asks Pepper with an encouraging smile on her ash-covered face, “Ready to escape <span class="mu-s">LAB #2?</span>”
Yea, you nod as you feel your strength return, let’s run like hell!
The creepy-crawlies spawned from the portal don’t seem to notice or care what’s happening as you jab your <span class="mu-s">STUN STAFF</span> into the airlock’s <span class="mu-s">CARD READER–</span>as far as they know this is just how this dimension is! As the card reader clicks and sputters a plume of black, acrid-scented smoke in your face, the door it’s attached to grinds open sending a rain of sparks onto your team!
Somewhere in the middle of your grand battle, the army of slashers that <span class="mu-i">did</span> make it across the catwalk seem to have busted down the door… but in the absence of their master, all that remains is a sea of mutated corpses–each one eviscerated from the inside!
“Guess they didn’t last long without their ‘<span class="mu-i">queen</span>’...” Remarks Pepper as she casts a pitying glance at the trio of servants going through the same treatment behind you.
“Neither are their <span class="mu-i">hosts</span>...” Remarks Chuck as he pushes onwards. “Let’s move–this place ain’t gonna wait for us to leave!”
Rivka’s subordinates aren’t dead… <span class="mu-i">yet</span>... but you definitely can’t carry all three of them out with you…
What do?
>LEAVE ‘EM–IT’S TOO LATE!>KNOCK THEM INTO THE PORTAL–BETTER THAN NOTHING, MAYBE?>TRY TO CARRY ONE OUT!>MERCY KILL THEM. THEY DON’T DESERVE DEATH BY ANGRY PARASITE…>WRITE-IN!
