Oddly enough, most of her injures have healed already. As if they were never there.
>CASEY has no more DAEMON IMPLANT charges. She has full FLESH and no CRIPPLING INJURIES
You feel a slight prick in your thigh too.
>You lost your CRIPPLING INJURY and AUTOSTIMPAK.
An odd sense of peace has seemingly washed over the anomaly. Max decides now it's best to chime in with her own thoughts. "No one has to be hurt like you again. Even if you can't find the doctor, even if you're still...this?"
"If you can help others who were hurt just like you, who could be tricked by men just like that. Maybe that can heal you just as well."
The anomaly sluggishly nods its head. It appears to have taken Casey's vague, rambling story to heart. For a brief moment you thought you saw something glowing inside of its chest but before you can look any closer, it charges away from your group at impressing speeds! It slinks away into the haze. You notice its body is beginning to form into something more solid right as it vanishes completely from sight.
Casey lets out a sigh. "May it find its purpose. Even a vague, illusionary and meaningless purpose is enough if you fully dedicate yourself to it."
>QUEEN BEE MINDSET has been upgraded to actually do something! Once per mission, if a check CASEY is a part of results in failure, she may choose to autopass it.
You know that nothing you could've done would've fixed the anomaly. It's simply not something you could do. But providing it relief? That's all that matters.
>You're certain the anomaly's actions will provide great benefit to your group in the near future.
Your attention is immediately drawn to gunfire somewhere by the foyer of the building. Shit! You group scrambles in the direction of all of the racket, charging past the kitchen and living room until you end up outside of the building
Kiara's leaning against the front of the building with a pretty nasty dent on her head and some scratches all over her chassis.
Clover's gun is leaking a fresh trail of smoke. His face is all sorts of scratched but it's cosmetic damage, nothing serious.
Both are staring down the stone path your group came down to arrive at the manor to begin with. You spot a trail of blood on the stone path leading towards the manor.
"You know that lad who had clone powers or somethin'?" Clover flicks his revolver open and pops out a spent ANTI-ANOMALY ROUND casing. "Apparently he followed after us. Real nasty bastard. Real sneaky and shit.
"Y-yeah. <span class="mu-b">He had some sort of cloaking implant since it was hard even for me to spot him.</span> He was standing by one of the stone lanterns that makes up the fence. Close to the trail out of here."
"We spotted him and tried to confront him but he summoned some specters to attack us." Clover tosses the ANTI-ANOMALY casing onto the ground. "These rounds pierce right through his specters. Got a lucky hit on him but he ran before I could finish him."
>CLOVER has 4 ANTI-ANOMALY ROUNDS left!
