[UNSTABLE] PREPARE.
Before you even have time to realize what that voice is even asking of you, you find yourself tossing a shotgun with two slugs over to Kiara. With a firm grip, she cocks the shotgun and checks every possible inch of it before loading the slugs in. <<span class="mu-b">"Remember his teachings. It's just a tool, nothing more. Nothing less.</span>>
>-1 SHOTGUN AND 2 SLUGS FROM YOUR INVENTORY, +1 SHOTGUN AND 2 SLUGS FOR KIARA."There's only two so far." You whisper. "Behind us-" You point behind you. "And to the left." You point towards the left. "I'll shock the one behind us. You shock the left, okay?" She nods without responding. Okay-
[UNSTABLE] "SO!" You clap your hands "FUCK YOU! I KNOW WHO'S REAL AND IT'S NOT YOU! YOU GOD DAMN SHODDY ROBOTIC FUCK! TELL THEM, KIARA!" A malicious smile that's completely foreign to you forces itself across your face.
"Y-Yeah! FUCK YOU!" Kiara yells out. Seems like your energy is starting to get to her. "That's my voice! It's copyrighted under the MODEL K1-4R production line! AND I KNOW YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THOSE, FUCKERS!" Something about just being able to yell about something together brings a small measure of relief to the both of you.
>+2 RESTRAINT TO NICOLE. 6/8 LEFT!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40WOZE1IonA - WARNING!
This is quickly replaced by OH GOD OH FUCK when two pairs of heavy metallic footsteps start charging in the direction of you and Kiara. With one swift motion you put your plan into action. Kiara aims her shotgun down the left path while you aim behind you. With nearly synchronized movements you and Kiara fire a slug at whatever is approaching you.
>-1 SLUG FROM YOURS AND KIARA'S INVENTORY "BZZT!" "NSGHAZZZZT!" The two figures cloaked in the darkness of the tunnel stumble back. Sparks of blue, pink, and red energy flicker around the impact sight of whatever you hit. Even with your nightvision googles it's too far away for you to make out aside from a roughly humanoid form.
"BOOK IT!" "DON'T GOTTA SAY IT TWICE!" With this moment of distraction, you two immediately fucking book it down the north path Shooting them was a good idea, they're trailing far behind you now. Your muscles ache as you have to keep up a pretty damn fast jogging rate for what feels like miles. With stealth no longer being an option, you and Kiara try your best to synchronize the knowledge you know.
"FIVE DOTS TO THE LEFT, NORTH AND RIGHT BLANK. WHICH WAY?" "RIGHT! NORTH LOOPS BACK!"
"SEVEN DOTS NORTH, RIGHT AND LEFT BLANK." "LEFT! RIGHT IS DEAD END!"
Your legs are fucking burning as you keep twisting and turning throughout the maze. Every once in a while, the two of you have to hop over a vault or climb underneath a wooden structure that was left seemingly to slow down anyone being chased through here. You're doing quite well but with every obstacle, Kiara begins to slow down inch by inch.
You glance behind you. You finally make out what's following you.
