The overpowering realization that you will die slowly, painfully, with full awareness of every agonizing moment.
It's powerful enough for him to completely forget he can actually scream for the guards to come help him now that Benjamin isn't covering his mouth.
Once Benjamin is done modifying it he begins pacing back and forth around the cube with obvious worry. "Okay. What now, Nicole, because as I see it we still have a dozen or so guards read to come in. They're going to obviously check us, right?"
"You know that HEMOGLOBIN GRENADE you got me? How flammable would you say the strands are?"
Benjamin hoots out another obnoxiously high pitch 'laugh'. "Incredibly. Z-Company is very strict about having NO SPARKS OF ANY KIND anywhere near the production line for these-" It clicks why you're asking that. "Oh that's horrific."
"The issue I see is that we would be blocking our only way out...but this armor you found?" Seath looks down at the ODDITY armor he's wearing. A fireman's outfit, ready to protect from such a thing. "We can rush past them once the strands weaken from the fire burning away at them."
"Okay." You finally let go of your FOCUSED PUPPETEER ability. The female guard collapses to the floor now that you're no longer controlling her. She'll probably need a minute to wake back up. You prime the HEMOGLOBIN GRENADE, ready to throw it at Benjamin's command. Benjamin quickly sprouts a pair of ashen wings out of his back before rising up towards the ceiling. He'll wait for his time to strike.
Seath drags the old man over to the machine with little to no effort. He slams his foot into the closed compartment at the bottom-center of the machine in order to open it up. A mass of whirring metal teeth is the only thing you see in the now opened compartment. This is enough to snap the old man out of his fear-induced trance.
"GUARDS! GUARDS, IT WAS A RUSE! HELP! FUCKING HELP ME!" Too bad he didn't notice the grenade in your hand.
It takes a second but the guards all immediately pour into the room you're in. Sadly this is exactly what you wanted. The moment Benjamin spots them, he gives you the order to throw it. In mere seconds all thirteen guards who stumbled in are now coated in thick, sticky and fibrous red strands.
They squirm and thrash like crazy in it but it only seems to help them get more of their bodies entangled by it.
[POI ACTIVE] You also notice a few odd distortions in the thick red mess. Did you catch a few SHIFTer conjured figures too? You think there's three or four in there.
Shit, that confirms whoever has that power can spawn multiple at once.
"YOU FUCKER!" "FUCK, SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS!" "NGH!"
Seath disables the old man from struggling any further with one simple move: He intensifies the amount of pressure his grip is putting on the old man's shoulder. More and more force is put into it until his shoulder gives out with a sickening CRUNCH. The old man nearly blacks out from the agonizing pain he's now in.
