Curtains#2 - It Came From Below!

[Mimic]

With a predatory smile Granite watches the Fungal man fall.

"Well, he is out for the moment, what do you want me to do with him Fate." He askes glancing over towards the pile of sodium hydroxide, the solution to the problem is quite simple to him.

Pumping Station #6, Coast City
Apr 18
00:46


Fate attempts to penetrate the fungal man's mind, looking for the thoughts and memories of Paul Link. He encounters a mental barrier almost immediately - something that reflexively pushes back. It seems to have no conscious or even sub-conscious thoughts, though it does seem to be self-aware. For a fraction of a second, Fate can feel a human mind under the shell, but it slips away and Fate is unable to find it again.

In the hallway, Lawrence tries pushing one of the zombies. It shuffles just enough to remain standing, but otherwise doesn't appear to notice Lawrence's presence. There is an old fire axe hanging on the wall just inside the door to the pumping station. Should he decide to start attacking the zombies, they will just stand there and take it until they drop.

Granite, standing watch over the fungal man while waiting on Fate, notices that the fungal tissue on his chest appears to be regenerating.

Fate shook his head and said, "I thought for a moment there was someone in there, but I guess I was mistaken. Dump him in the powder to finish him off. It looks like he is regenerating."

"That would lead me to believe that the entity controlling him is still active, despite the lack of activity around us. Let's gather up a couple of buckets of the powder and try and find it. Tarantula, you were lucky once finding the big bad guy - are you up for it again?"

 

[Velmont]

After the first zombie is down, he stares at the cadaver. "That's gross... I prefer when they move..." he stares at the otyher, but that time, he doesn't use his axe, he only looks at them.

Fate shook his head and said, "I thought for a moment there was someone in there, but I guess I was mistaken. Dump him in the powder to finish him off. It looks like he is regenerating."

Granite didn't like to kick a man when he was down but his army training always told him never to leave the enemy at your back so with a shrug he tosses the fungal man into the pile.

"Let's gather up a couple of buckets of the powder and try and find it. Tarantula, you were lucky once finding the big bad guy - are you up for it again?"

If Tarantula and Jorgi are out of hearing range, Fate will use Telepathy to contact them and get them to help witht he search for who/what is controlling all of this stuff.

Jorgi

Just as he finish to speak to Jorgi, Lawrence looks back at the horde of Zombie qnd is surprise to see them standing still.

"What did you do?" he asks to Jorgi. He push one to see fi he will fall or will try to maintain his balance.

"Sorry guys, but you are still zombies, and if you start to move again..." With that, Lawrence starts to look around to see if there is nothing that could be use as a weapon and will use it to start to knock off the zombies.

"Well,guesstheyjustlosthteirmindseeingamazingJorgiinaction."
He fires a bunch of lightning bolts into the assembled zombies for good measure and enters the main room.
"Fryit,thatthingtriedtodropabuildingonmyhead.Whichhappenstobethemostimportant

The electricity in him starts to calm down and with it most of his ego. Jorgi suddenly realizes that he is in sewer full of monsters and thinking of them as human is not exactly easy for him.
"DamnandIjustwantedtomeetthatgothchicagain.Youknow,Ihatetobreakitto

..spoke the boy with the sparks dancing around him...

 

[Velmont]

Lawrence sees the ligthning bolt flying over his head on the zombies. He quickly step back, not use to that light and sound show. As the smell of fried flesh appear, he just walk back to the entrance of the main room, to keep some distance with the piles of corpse.

 

[Rybaer]

Jorgi unleashes a few bolts of lightning and the zombies take it without reaction - burning, crackling, and falling to the ground.

Everyone can hear Fate's suggestion that you look for the "big bad guy".

Granite heaves the fungal man into the pile of sodium hydroxide powder. A cloud of dust is kicked up and almost immediately the fungal man starts thrashing around, screaming in agony. It's difficult to see through the growing clouds of dust, but it appears that his thick, fungal hide is beginning to bubble, split, and crack apart.

Seemingly in sympathy with the fungal man's pain, the tendrils and zombies start to thrash about violently and without aim. No one is hit, but the station is quickly becoming a dangerous place...and the tendrils are doing a number on the walls and ceiling.

From the thrashing figure, between the agonizing screams, comes a faint call for help...in a voice different from the fungal man's.

 

[Velmont]

"It's Paul! Fate can't you help him?" shouts Lawrence, feeling helpless in front of his suffering.
