Turk looks confused at Greggory, but doesn't get to say anything before the tigress rushes past both him and the doctor, knocking them down roughly, though the well cleaned and slightly slick lenolium floor causes her footing to be a bit tricky, slowing her down just a little bit.<br/><br/>Delilah attacks the first nurse, putting one fist into the blank face and roughly snapping her arm.  Where the bones broke on the arm seems to distort explosively, producing another blade and detaching the useless portion of arm instantly.  "H-holy shit, don't eat these things, Tasu." she panics and slams the head of the thing into the wall, where more spears of bone and metal explode from it where the skull caves in, pinning the thing roughly against the wall. "I don't even know what they would-"  she's interrupted as she catches the first glimpse of Tamara's clone coming at her and time seems to slow down...  She blocks instinctively, but panics a little at what Tasu's reaction might be to her counterattacking what looks exactly like his mother.  Instead, she throws her at the rest of the department's defenders, noticing the pretty serious looking cuts on her forearm where she was hit.<br/><br/>From the fact that she never found any tailmouths aside from Tasu made her think that they were unable to clone Tamara outright.  She doesn't have time to think how to exlpain how she was captured with biological material of the other tailmouths, and she...  She's lucky Tasu hasn't had time yet to question how they've been captured in the first place, and that the other materials she brought with her haven't been discovered as well.<br/><br/>As Tamara runs into the nurse, Nephanim pushes them both aside and starts powering up some kind of spell between his hands.  In the time, his body has changed yet more, scales and other markings of draconic heritage becoming visible on him.  Tasu can see he is clearly the most dangerous target.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Lex cringes a little at the thought of what sounds like putting an icicle made of blood all the way into her womb, though she also doesn't like the idea of the feline's rather big, clawed hands either...  "What if we use the mouse's arm as a proxy?  Kind of a compromise?"  She can tell the mouseboy recognized that they are talking about him, but can't tell if he knows exactly what she's suggesting.  She can't exactly think of why it's a good idea, and that bugs her a little bit.  She's also a little worried to realize that she's feeling slightly... hungry... when looking at the mouse.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>It's actually not hard at all for Lance to find the two scientists searching for the way out, though when he does the older one turns to look at him, "Didn't find her?  Damn, ah well, we can enter from her half of the maze."  They get to where the dust attack ed Arkain earlier.  It looks like the door has been cut roughly through the wall, and it leads into a dimly lit utility hallway that looks almost like a sewer, though it's quite a bit cleaner.<br/><br/>As they enter the hallway, the younger one turns to Arkain, not even beginning to see through the disguise, "Maybe we could break in somewhere else in her side of the maze...  What do ya say, Fennic?  Your nose pick up anywhere closer that she might be?"  It's pretty clear that 'Fennic' is the wolf's name.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>As Wil focuses on one of the lights, there's a feeling of blankness in them.  Nothing definite, but to all senses, they seem to be less of an actual thing as they are the<span style="font-style: italic">lack</span>of anything.  Somehow it may be that they are singularities of some strange phenominon that repels reality itself...  Why they glow is a mystery.<br/><br/>After a moment concentrating on the little ball of light, Wil might notice that the thing is staying at exactly the same place in his field of vision.  Like it's following his mental focus...  In other words, with some concentration, these little pain-light-things can be controlled.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Chuck Garrison's security team finishes prying open one of the elevator doors, Chuck is the first one through, pointing his dart rifle around, covering the hallway in front of him as his eyes adjust to the dim light.  Behind him, Raul Mendova and a few others climb up as well.  Raul helps up a fellow soldier,<a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=543342#p543342">Mac Charley</a>, careful not to jerk on his arm too hard.  He had read the guy's file, apparently he had been one of the human test subjects for something which gave him perfect toxin resistance, but it ended up weakening his resistance to normal damage.  All things considered, it seemed like a pretty useful ability, considering it makes him utterly immune to friendly dart fire.<br/><br/>With all the guards out of the blocked elevator shaft, Chuck startes giving the orders, "Allright, We need to hold this position until the secondary elevator gets here...  If it's still-"  He stops as he points the flashlight to where the door should be for the secondary elevator.  The button and level marker are exactly where they should be, but the door is gone, replaced smoothly by the wall.  "What the hell is this bullshit?"<br/><br/>As the others are distracted by the bizarre phenominon, Raul fires two shots down the hallway.<br/><br/>Almost a hundred yards down the hallway, the two darts float suspended in front of a shadowed figure which looks like a six foot tall version of the stereotypical fantasy fairy.  With a smirk, Thistle lets the darts drop to the ground.  "Oh, look, dessert."
