The heavy doors at the end of the room start to open, and there are a LOT of guns poking through. You slam the last lock for completion's sake and get greeted by the bug-looking ugly mug on long stilt-like legs.
– "Are you a MAN?" The thing asks you in a surprisingly shrill voice.
– "Uhh.. Nope! I'm a fungus. There are a lot of men right there!" You point behind you, in the direction of indiscriminate gunfire, pressurized steam venting sounds, and screaming.
– "FINALLY. THE MOID GENOCIDE STARTS NOW." The creature rushes past you, popping little flying minions from holes on her(?) sides. Some sort of spawner, jackpot! That should keep the feds busy. You scream at Rayle to follow you, and VERY reluctantly she does. Taking a running start through the gunfire, you do a jumping attack at the part of the window that's melting. The Stick shatters the bulletproof glass, as you tumble into some sort of a control room overlooking multiple places at once. Humans are screaming, another turret opens up on you, but a glob of acid from snail guy deforms its barrel quickly enough for it not to matter much.
You can see the essence extraction room through another window, a bulky machine with parts all over the walls and ceiling. All work there is paused, emergency lights spinning red. In all the chaos around, nobody but you seems to notice that several spiked limbs are slowly prying a door into the extraction room open from the other side.
– "We're leaving or what?" Snail guy is jittery, aiming a ball of acid at the entrance of the monitoring room. Rayle twitches a little too, she seems *more* unstable than before. She is about to start seething about not being allowed to kill people to her heart's content as the doors slide open.
The fed steps through, flanked by five soldiers with guns and swords. He deflects the acid glob with his suitcase, which transforms into some sort of a wide-bladed whip with a dark purple mana orb in the "hilt". The soldiers behind him raise their guns.
HOW DO YOU FIGHT? DO YOU FIGHT AT ALL?
>Snail guy throws acid at the soldiers, you and Rayle fight the fed in melee
>Engage cloaking, and start bonking the soldiers with the Stick. Snail guy glies the floor under the fed, Rayle fights him in melee.
>Fill the room with as much hazards as possible. Acid, spores, glue, steam. Bet on the idea that it will hurt humans more than you. Fight in the ensuing clusterfuck.
>Screw it, back to the holding cells. Surely that spawner monster haven't died yet.
>Break into the extraction chamber, retreat and escape through there.
>Juke the fed and the soldiers, escape down the corridor they came through. Use glue, steam and spore clouds to cover your retreat.
