"You two, stay here. I'll deal with Benn-"
"Are you fucking insane?" Frank gawks at what you're about to suggest. "He'll rip you limb from limb. I don't care if you kill yourself but the others?"
"I'm not stupid, I know that'll KILL morale."
"Nicole," Vincent awkwardly laughs. "Please tell me you're joking."
"It's that or you get fucking mulched, Vincent!" You throw your hands up. "You're marked for death! He's after you!"
"What?" "..." Frank goes silent as Vincent is, understandably, confused at what you mean by that.
<<span class="mu-b">"Shit. Yeah, nothing I can do if he marked someone for death."</span>>
"I can handle this. Stay. Here."
Vincent tries to speak up but the words die in his mouth. Frank doesn't even want to look at you.
You exit the AIR PURIFICATION room, firmly closing the door behind you. Boxes being piled back up can be heard behind the door. Can't go back in there now. There's only you and the void.
You tap into your earpiece. "Bennett's here. Move all of the injured to B4. Now."
"Wait!" Naomi cries over the earpiece. "We can fight. If you need backup, we're here!"
"It's one guy," Adam groans, obviously still in pain. "We'll-"
"No! No, no! Three of you are marked for death! I can't risk it - All of you! GET OUTTA HERE! NOW!"
There's no response at first. Clover's voice then crackles over the line.
"I believe in ya, Nick. Don't disappoint us - Show him what <span class="mu-g">JUSTICE</span> looks like."
The last thing you hear over the line is the clattering of eight different pairs of footsteps. They're safe from Bennett for now - Even if that means someone else has to pay the price.
You manifest your PARADIGM shotgun. Your grip on it is solid and your mind is resolute. He is not going to hurt your <span class="mu-s">FAMILY</span>.
The mist surrounds you. You can't see anything that's further than five feet away from you. All you can do is patiently wait for him to arrive. You know he'll be here any second now.
The mist suddenly starts to thicken out of nowhere. All you can see around you is a light blue haze - You can't even see a foot away from you now. Your fur is being drenched by icy cold droplets falling down from the ceiling. It's raining, it's cold, and you can't see shit.
A perfect time for an ambush.
The revving of a chainsaw blares through the hallway but it immediately stops. Something heavy is thrown onto the ground with enough force to dent the floor. "..."
<span class="mu-r">CLICK!</span> The heavy slam of a shotgun clicking into place. Before you have time to process it, your telekinetic field instinctually blocks four slugs that nearly tore right through you.
There's one issues. Green and black sparks burn around the telekinetic field holding them back. Shit! Anti-anomaly rounds! You try to dodge out of the way but two slugs manage to slam into your leg. Large chunks of fur and flesh splatter onto a nearby wall, coating it in bright fuchsia blood.
>DRIFTWOOD IDOL reduces FLESH DAMAGE to 1. It is now out of charges for this quest!
