Part of you wants to give the thing you just pulped a more-thorough examination, but the sound-off you just heard tells you you might not have the luxury of time on your side!
Pointing Terra in the direction you came from, you tell Terra to take Ayla and look for an outline along the wall–there’s a <span class="mu-s">BUNKER</span> inside that should be safe!
“Okay… I will!” The girl nods with newfound resolve as she gently lifts her groaning friend onto her shoulder! “Are you… are you going after the others?”
That’s right, you nod, you’ve still got plenty of fuel left!
“Be careful…” Terra warns as she gives you a stony look, “When they first burst in they were working together…”
“Like a pack?” Asks Pepper as she joins you at your side. The glasses-wearing girl nods.
“Like a pack. Ayla and I ran, but…” the words get caught in her throat. “... but those tentacles they have–I think they might be <span class="mu-s">TOXIC</span>...”
You, Raj, and Pepper all send a concerned glance down to the journalist’s burnt ankle. Toxic?
“It grabbed Ayla by the arm…” Explains Terra as she points to the purple blotches snaking around the tomboy’s limb, “A-and she said it felt numb…”
“<span class="mu-i">Nrrgh, bsstrddd…</span>”
Terra’s eyes light up upon hearing her friend’s slurred speech! “<span class="mu-s">AYLA!</span>”
Watch out for the tentacles, you nod to yourself, <span class="mu-i">gotcha</span>.
“Guess whatever caused it got burned off, huh, slick?” Asks Pepper as she gives her ankle a shake. “Still stings, though…”
No more crazy angles with her camera, then, you reply in a stern tone! That’s an order!
“They <span class="mu-i">do</span> seem to dislike light…” Muses Terra as Ayla gradually regains her footing, “But I have no clue how they can sense it…”
You can do a full examination later, you growl! Right now she’s gotta get to safety and <span class="mu-i">we’ve</span> gotta find the others!
“R-right!” Stammers the pink sweater’d girl, “Please be careful…”
Waiting until you see the two girls reach the <span class="mu-s">BUNKER ENTRANCE,</span> you raise your <span class="mu-s">FLAMETHROWER</span> and cock your head towards the mansion. Let’s roll!
