‘Shonk–’ An ice-blue crystal impales itself where the blinking, red light is, eliciting small sparks of electricity from the camera.
“That’s really annoying,” Julia mutters, her arm crackling as new crystal takes the place of the old one.

If Julia’s diamonds weren’t enough, Boleski follows up with a well-aimed glob of acid, the corrosion audible for everyone in its vicinity, and you’d commend the man for doing that in such a small space– but you’ll save the commendations for later when all is said-and-done.

That also means that they don’t know you’re actual intruders just yet, which is all the better; had that not been the case, then FutureLabs’ crew would likely come down upon you with fire and fury as befitting of one of the largest R&D centers on the eastern seaboard.
Not wanting to wait around and find out just who might be coming for you, heading upstairs, you find that the second floor opens into a wider, more spacious corridor that, with how it leads into even more halls, seems more like a maze rather than an actual workplace.
