Due to his heavily injured state, this actually knocks his hand back to the table. "NOPE!"
<span class="mu-s">"Feh. You're not the ones who. Who. Matter."</span> Blood oozes out of his mouth with every word. He begins to raise his hand again.
Lex rushes right in and grabs onto his hand, pinning it to the ground under his weight.
Adam immediately rushes in to stab his chef's blade right into the Admiral's hand, keeping the hand pinned there.
<span class="mu-s">"No. Matter. I will. Win."</span> <<span class="mu-b">"This is. A test. To see if. They-"</span>>
Benedict raises up his armblade and stabs it right into the Admiral's exposed gut. Abraham reels back his harpoon right after Benedict's attack and with one last throw, he tosses his harpoon right where the Admiral's heart would be.
Something warm and wet is crushed by the harpoon. The sound of ripping flesh overshadows the pouring rain above.
And then there's silence. Your allies back away from the Admiral. The Admiral's body is, to put it bluntly, mangled beyond recognizance. The only part of him not coated in blood and gore are his eyes. His pale white irises. He's still breathing, ever so shallowly. Despite all of that, he's alive?
<span class="mu-s">"I see. The confusion. On your face. That's what it means to be. A powerful anomaly. You can't truly. Kill one."</span> He hacks up his actual lung. <span class="mu-s">"I will bleed out soon. But you can't. Kill a perspective as grand as mine. That is what we anomalies are. Perspectives. Ideas. Weaker ideas can be. Snuffed. Forgotten. I am. Beyond that."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"We have been around as long as humanity. We will be what's left of humanity. Once we're gone. We're the subconscious urges. Of thought. Of cognizance. Of belief. While humans can become anomalies. Anomalies need not humanity to exist. We are. Everlasting, Nicole."</span>
He slumps over onto the table. Every breath he takes hurts more than the last. You're right there with him, it feels like your own lung has been punctured. <span class="mu-s">"I will. Disappear. For who long? Who knows. I will return. I. Must thank you for. Besting me."</span>
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] That means you will always be at risk of death. Even if you were to fully become an anomaly, you would only represent your own perspectives. You are but one person.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] He represents Power. You can not remove Power, Control, over this world.
The Admiral pulls out a single letter and places it onto the table with a shaking, barely functional arm. <span class="mu-s">"Read this when you can. It contains your. Rewards. Good game. Lad."</span> And then, he stops moving.
>CHECKMATED THE ADMIRAL!And with that, you pass out.

When you wake up, you're still on the deck of the ship. Turning your head ever to the side, you can still see the Admiral's Ship looming in front of the S.S. FREEDOM. Everything <span class="mu-r">hurts. You are in a pain that is beyond indescribable. Every inch, from your head to your toes, feels like it's on fire.</span>
