You stumble outside of your apartment. All that's around you is the various other apartments nearby on the first floor and the stairway only a few feet away, your apartment is basically right next to it. Standing at the top of the stairway is, what would you know, an android.
He looks like a prick to say the very least. His body is sculpted to be muscular looking but it's obvious he's some shitty defective model. Rust covers every joint of his body and the latex-like skin-mimicking material that normally covers an android's face, arms, and legs has rotted away to expose the wiring and machinery underneath.
In his hands is a <span class="mu-r">shotgun.</span> He has no idea that you're approaching him thanks to your invisibility. You take slow, calculated steps over to it. You raise up BEYOND LOVE AND HATE before slashing it right across the android's chest. Of course, it doesn't do any actual physical damage but the reaction tells you that you landed a nasty hit on it.
The bright blue LEDs that make up his eyes quickly glitch out. "W-WhShWhhWhhWHhHWHhhh" And just as quickly, his voice module crackles into a static-laced mess. His hands let go of the shotgun as sparks begin to fly out of his body. Before he has any time to recover, you ram your shoulder into him. He promptly loses balance and tumbles down the staircase.
A horrible cacophony of bangs, metal scrapping against metal, and static-laced screeching rings through your apartment building. The android slams onto the snow-laced streets outside of your apartment building. His left arm is barely hanging on by a few loose wires and his right leg has a massive crack in it now. Whatever mental damage your knife inflicted has left the android in a twitching, glitchy mess.
Of course, this noise attracts Ashton's attention. He rushes outside of the apartment with Ashley trailing right behind him. "ZANE!" You move to the side to make sure he doesn't send you failing down the stairs just like him. "Shit, we're under attack. Did you see anyone, Ash?" Ashton snaps his neck to stare at his sister. She can only offer a shrug.
"I-I didn't, no!" Ashley shakes her head violently. <<span class="mu-b">"Nicole, you better have a plan..."</span>>
"Did the bitch lure us into a trap? Fuck, I knew something was off." Ashton's grip on his baseball bat tightens to the point that the wooden bat nearly splinters into pieces. The sheer ease at how easily his bat was being cracked tells you <span class="mu-r">this man could probably snap your neck like a toothpick.</span> "Ashley. You need to get out of here. It's nice to see ya but I can't risk ya getting killed, aight?"
"R-right."
Checking your mind radar, you notice that the blue dot fella is quickly running around to check what the commotion near the stairway was and the silver dot is <span class="mu-b">approaching the scene as well.</span> Very interesting. You've clearly thrown whatever plan this group had into disarray. Time to decide what your next move is before your invisibility fully wears off.
