Light pink blood, a sign of your slow but steady conversion to an anomaly + the EVIGT IMPLANT in your system, is filling the latex-like bodysuit underneath your clothes.
<span class="mu-g">Yet most of the impact was dampened by your BODYSUIT.</span>
>0 FLESH (reduced from 3!) taken, due to once-per-mission 'reduce damage by 3' ability of your bodysuit!
His internal monologue echoes through your head.
<<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">"This metallic, preprogrammed body. It limits me so much. These humans, they're...economically viable. Able to change and adapt."</span></span>>
<<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">"I envy them. I love them. I hate them. Growth at any cost. Morning waits for no one."</span></span>>
He tries to turn around to attack you again but something else catches his attention. Swoosh! CLUNK!
A large metal crossbow bolt embeds into the side of his head. What might've been a kill shot for a human is merely a very, VERY obnoxious wound to the android.
Benjamin lowers his crossbow down with a smirk, "Gotcha."
Shockley's eyes begin to glitch and spaz out. Light teal smoke leaks out of the android's head; The crossbow's ESOTERIC damage is rushing through his system. He sloppily aims his rifle towards Benjamin, ready to return the favor. Benjamin prepares to duck out of the way...
You stumble forward, digging into your pocket for the cryo grenade. You need just a few more seconds of distraction.
Clover and Lapis aim their guns at Shockley at the same time. The oddest thing happens as they do so. Lapis' injured posture shifts.
>26!
<<span class="mu-b">"Learn from your mistakes. Learn from your ???????. ?????, the one who got away, ??? learned this lesson."</span>>
Her posture shifts into an exact mimicry of Clover's. Every twitch he makes, she makes. Her breathing is synchronized with his. Clover picks up on this but he's too busy with stopping Shockley to care.
A rapid volley of at least a dozen 10mm rounds is joined with a singular ARMOR PIERCING revolver round; All aimed right towards Shockley's hand.
The pistol rounds bounce wildly off the thick metal of his hand, only denting some of his fingers, whether due to blind luck or her mimicking Clover's knack for bullshit gunshot tricks, four of them ricochet in such a way to smash right into his metallic throat. Several small holes erupt into the android's neck, damaging his structure even more!
As his head reels back from the impact, the armor piercing round tears off two of his fingers, fucking up his grip on the bulky rifle. Benjamin has enough time to dodge out of the way before the beam's fired. A large neon green beam erupts out of the rifle's muzzle but it ends up smashing into the wall
<span class="mu-r">A four inch deep, eight inch wide hole is burnt right into the stone wall.</span> You grimace to think what that would've done to Benjamin's fleshy body.
While he's still distracted by your allies, you try to dunk the cryo grenade into the hole! The hole is just barely big enough to slot the grenade into but there's an issue. A very critical issue.
