You made sure to grab the blood boiling cocktail before leaving, just in case. You quickly rush over to the elevator to where secure storage is. The whole facility is tinted in red as an alarm starts to blare.
https://youtu.be/pe3h62MrlPE - WARNING!!! "Attention, all security members and all combat able employees!" Monifa's voice echoes across the intercom system. "This facility is on high alert until further notice! Please go to the locations forwarded to you over your PDAS!"
Good, seems like she has that handled. It only takes a minute or two but the elevator ride feels like absolute hell. You burst out of it as soon as it opens up, racing towards Secure Storage.
You pull out your own personal PDA and quickly contact all of the androids with one simple message:
ADMINISTRATOR: Reason for your damage is outside. Aerial drone will show you fight. Feel free to enjoy the agony.
The airlock opens on its own. You nod towards the camera as you prepare to do something that's probably very risky: fighting the anomaly directly. First thing's first, the drugs and non-PARADIGM equipment.

[DYING LIGHT] The voices of seven different wills, all blending into one. Are you ready?

And finally, you grab the scales and the bolt action pistol-

You can feel them. Wings.
The two non-loaded bolt action bullets vibrate inside your pocket, ready for action. Your brain is throbbing, twisting. Voices pouring through every inch of your head. The scales are insanely cold in your hand.
