"Are you working for THEM? If you're going to kill us anyways, we might as well know." That's the first thing that comes to your mind and, well, can you blame yourself? It's one of the five main voices jabbering in your head.
The guards share a 'look' (at least you think they are) with each other before looking back at you. Their postures have changed and like a switch flipping in their mind, they begin to gibber nonsense.
"THEM? WHAT ABOUT THEM? WE DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT A THEM, NO NO, THEY'RE NOT HERE. NOT ANYMORE."
"THEY HAD OUR FACE; SUCH SUCH AWFUL YET SEDUCTIVE PEOPLE I COULDN'T EVEN STOMACH THEM! NO! NO! NO!"
"THE MILIPEDES SQUIRMING OUT OF THEIR EYES WERE A SICKENING SHADE OF GREY THAT THAT WE DID DID NOTNOT!"
"IT'S OUT THERE READY TO KILL THE NEON BEAST OF YORE BUT NO, NO, NO! I'M NOT TALKING! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"
"What the fuck?" You hesitantly step back while the two are gibbering nonsense. "Kiara, can you help me here?"
"I can try to decode what they're saying but huh. Did they implant a chip or somethin' in them?"
Benjamin squints at the gibbering Drones. "I think they have aphasia now. Difficulty speaking or understanding words. Mild versions since they're able to say more than a few words but..."
The three of you awkwardly stand there, with you and Kiara trying your best to decipher what they're saying.
>FAILURE!
It only takes a minute to realize the stuff they're gibbering is only getting more and more nonsensical. Soon, they're only saying one to two word segments. If they were saying anything they were properly censored. <span class="mu-b">You can guess the spooks were involved in censoring them but that's about it.</span>
Then, as if nothing happened, they snap their focus back onto you three. "ENOUGH TALK." "DIE."
[UNSTABLE RESOLVE] "Okay. Go ahead." You don't even attempt to shield yourself. "You can't hurt any of us."
[GULLIBLE] Benjamin is a bit too eager to add onto what you said. "Yeah! We have super duper powerful powers! You could shoot me right in the head! Haha! You can't do anything! I COULD POP YOUR HEAD LIKE A BALLOON!"
"nicolewhatthefuckisyourplanhere." Kiara hisses at you. "immadeoutofmetalbutyoutwoaremadeoutofflesh."
Ah, right, she probably doesn't know about the bodysuit under your uniform. As for Ben? Well. He can heal off a gunshot if this fails.
The guards are obviously confused at how eagerly you want to be shot but they graciously follow your command...at least that was they wanted to do. The triggers on their glocks refuse to budge an inch as if their safety was still on.
They fiddle with the safety to see that, no, it was off already. Their guns are just refusing to fire.
They try again and again and again but the triggers refuse to budge at all. You can feel sweat dribbling down your brow as you fight against them trying to pull the trigger but after a solid twenty seconds, they defeatedly throw their guns to the ground...before picking them back up.
"HUH?"
"I THOUGHT WE JUST CLEANED THSE THINGS!"
