Following a mass rebellion from the already overpowering pumpkins last night, Ayr gave me the go ahead to gather some brave souls for the purpose of collecting a live pumpkin sample for my research. I'm not sure if it was out of necessity or convenience that he let me do this, but I'm grateful for it thus far.
I get to show how far my intelligence can take me.
But are you satisfied with just that?
Of course not.
Once again, I'm just showing myself as the smart but quiet one. It's a recurring stigma.
Fauna, Munch, Adagio, and I headed straight for the den after the guards couldn't handle anymore. I expected a bunch of vines and few pumpkins trying to grow on our heads. Yet we came face to face with...
...whoa.
Yeah.
I have no idea what that thing was doing there, but it brought friends. Munch dealt with him while Fauna challenged its mutant sister. Adagio was fighting another one when we got there, but the fight spilled out to the hills below. I didn't see much of what happened until she returned with the thing's carcass.
I can't say I was much help in this fight; my job was digging out a sample while the others fended off the vines and creatures. I still can't believe a bunch of pumpkin plants could do this though. After this night, I started to wonder if they were to be considered plants at all.
The trick was attacking the head for the most part....like the golden rule goes for zombies. Destroy the reanimated brain and you're all good.
You have got to be joking.
If only. Munch did to lop of the original creature's head, though it still managed to flail and scream something awful for a while. The stench was nauseating and the screeches from them were ungodly.
Like a beheading chicken?
No, this was worst. Never before has a sole scream made me sick to my stomach. Fauna used some kind of concoction on the chained creature. I didn't think chemicals would work, but she proved me wrong. I have to remember to get the formula for whatever she used on them; it could prove useful for destroying them permanently later on. Like to the other creature Munch, this one also kept going and fighting after getting hit acid solution and who knows how many katana strikes. Even Adagio had to lend a hand in taking the thing down.
The usefulness didn't stop there. Oh no!
The next day, we all met in the early morning to prepare for a raid of sorts in Leviathan. The contact was an associate of Ayr's, though he warned that the kid had a mouth on him.
And boy did that brat know how to provoke people!
We had branched out into the city after Dax and the others in Team 2 (security) took down a soldier. That included Lily the lead, Dax, Gareth, Jayde, and Fauna. Team 1 (collection), which I was a part of, was responsible for carrying the contents Ayr paid for from the contact's stall. Ayr, Fluffy, Brekka, and Yewh made up this group. It was surprisingly organized.
Would have been picturesque if the bugger hadn't called the UAC on us. He hands Ayr the key to get items from his father's shop...then ran down the street later screaming, "Thieves! Hybrids thieves!"
He asked Ayr for you too, didn't he?
Wonder how much he would have paid?
Please shut up. Jerk actually hinted at wanting me to lick the walls...and his balls for the fun of it. Reeking of filth, I bet he's never been near a female in his life. Why is it I'm always assumed the easy one of the bunch?!
'Cause you're the quiet one, dimwit.
And everyone knows the quiet ones are the most fun.
You're just itching to provke me again, aren't you? Whatever. I have work to do. I can't stand here arguing with you.
