Finally Nicola stops running, either because the poison is taking its toll on her or because she arrived at her destination. Isabel silently crawls forward an peeks around the corner.

>>386699

A ...shower? I don't follow...

What is your left hand touching?

>>386703
decontamination shower.

are those bodies? think they are, you need to find one that is whole and stick herbert onto it.

>>386699
Stab her in the kidney.
There's a screwdriver there if you need a weapon.

>>386699
we should try to trap her inside the shower

>>386699
Keep following quietly. We need to find some antidote before killing her. As cold-blooded as it is, we really cannot afford to let her keep walking around killing people in her paranoid fits.

>>386720
I don't want to sound like a creep, but in a place like this, avoiding contamination is important.

Destroy anything nearby that could be used as clothes. Or steal it.

either simply watch for now, or go ahead and try to trap her inside. also don't listen to a THING she says.

Nicola drops Herbert's head and the door closes behind her. Isabel rushes forward, grabbing the screwdriver. She doubts that she'll be able to do seriois injuries with it, but it's better than nothing and might just be enough to overpower somebody weakened by the black poison.

Behind the door she hears loud coughing, the sound of breaking glass and shortly afterwards the sound of running water. A chemical scent starts filling the air.

As Isabel ponders whether she should open the electronic door and risk alerting Nicola of her presence or to sabotage the door to trap Nicola in there, she begins to notice her surroundings and the bodies hanging from the ceiling.

do any of them look ready but off? if so take that one and take off it's head and put herbert's on it.

>>386974
Hmmm... It looks like she was trying to prepare a body for the head, but it's not ready. Or she was going to mess with it to bring Herbert under her control when the head got put on.

I say we open the door and stab her with the screwdriver, or use the wrench. Isabel's choice. Trying to trap her in there would block us from... whatever she's got in there that helps against the poison, and she might get out anyway. A direct confrontation would work best.

Open the door Partially so we can see whats going on in there. if it turns too risky hit her with the wrench, in worst case scenario stab her with the screwdriver. Watch out for her nasty tricks... shes a sneaky one alright.

For a moment, Isabel is tempted to try repairing Herbert immediately, but ultimately decides to deal with Nicola first.

She grabs the wrench and the screwdriver and activates the electrical door and slips into the next room as soon as she's sure, that her arrival hasn't been noticed.

get a cleaning product and a syringe, fill syringe with product, inject it into her.

>>388244
Too slow! She used the antidote and destroyed the rest!
If you had a knife I'd say cut her achilles tendon, but since you don't just skewer her in the kidneys with your screwdriver.

How about we inject her with something nasty? Wait. She's probably got that planned for US. She opened the supply cabinet... and there are syringes... she might have one full of bleach or something, waiting for us to come in there and attack her.

How about we see if we can scrounge up a little of the antidote into a syringe? Failing that, check the supply cabinet a little closer.

>>388244
She destroyed the antidote!!

Before you proceed, put the glass shards from the thing on the left in front of the shower entrance. If she showers naked (and I suspect she does), she will step on it without shoes.

>"GO AWAY! What do you want? The head? You can have it. It's broken anyway. Just... just leave me alone...."

No more apologies or false promises.

Kill her.

Yeah seriously this bullshit has gone on far too long. Do it.

>>389781
Still lying. If it was broken, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to retrieve it.

Now, we could shove a needle in her eye or... uh... dammit. You know, if those veins have been there all along then that explains a lot. Those are the influence of that dark doctor, and so she may be emotionally/mentally manipulated. I say we should grapple and hold the needle to her neck or something, to make sure she doesn't fight, tell her not to move, then press the doll to her black vein infection to remove it. After that we can ask her some questions that she would normally respond to with lies. If her personality changes drastically then she would be... not to blame. Ugh.

But jeez, that's... risky. She could get away again or attack us with a glass shard, and that's the last thing we want to happen.

jump on her back place a needle on her right arm, that is over the broom, and then apply doll to neck. ask her questions again

Stab her once. Ask her wherever some antidote might be, maybe you'll stop. If she says nothing, take off a finger. If she says something, take off a finger because she lies all the time and probably isn't telling the truth and NOT taking you seriously at all. From her perspective, your a naive, trusting fool that won't take the measures necessary to survive.

Prove that and that sociopath will cave. Make her cry, even if it crushes your spirit and morality, you have to make her suffer. Then slit her throat. Torture doesn't work much, but it's really our only shot with her. We'd have to just go with whatever lead she gives us or give up. That big scientist your trying to save will never have a normal life anymore anyway, he only sought vengeance against this betrayer. It may be the most merciful option just to give him that and let him pass on. Then take your new friends and move on, try and survive this and find a way to repair Herbert.

>>389802
you see the other things yet? she has a black vein infection. which could of manifested itself as horrible psychosis.

>>389781
Cut her Achilles tendons. She'll be unable to walk anymore.
Cut her armpits. She'll be unable to use her arms.

THEN start talking.

"I want Herbert back.
I want the one who cured my poisoning back.
I want the people you just poisoned to death back.
I want the antidote you just destroyed.

But that's all beyond you.
You destroy everything you can simply because you can. You're a monster wearing a suit of human flesh, and the fact you were born in it changes nothing.
We are defined by our actions, Nicola. Our choices, not our origins, are what determines who is a hero and who is monster.

I am going to kill you, and there is nothing you can say or do to stop me.
I will let you have last words with which to make peace with the world. I suggest you not waste them trying to patronize me with lies."

>>389804
Armpits have some pretty major blood vessels. That's why they're so soft, protected, and sensitive. She'll be unconscious in 30 seconds and dead in 2 minutes. Not long enough to have a speech, methinks. No time to waste talking. Kill her.

black veins may mean she is currently under the effects of EXTREME INSANITY. you condone insane people being killed instead of getting treatment? the treatment is black vein removal.

In a world where damn near everything tries to kill us, yes, yes I do. Why waste time and mercy on her? Just kill her and apply the doll to her head.

this isn't the world where everything tries to kill us. the freakin ZOMBIES were rather peaceful. it's the black veins, anything those are on HAS tried to kill us. destroy them and the killing response dies.

>>389809
Hmkay. Still, she may not always have been infected. Keep this in mind. Also, the black veins seem to be on her sternum. They may have worked their way into her heart, in which case she's screwed.

>>389810
if healing the veins kill her then it's win win.

>>389811
I thought we wanted her to give us information if we could?

>>389812
i mean, since half the people want to kill her then it will give them hope that the more sane idea will get what they want.

Ah. Logical.

We should keep in mind she was suprised to see the veins below her neck.
Maybe the infection has just begun and her actions were, in fact, NOT influenced by the growth.

Shit. What to do now?

Okay, mentally responsible for her actions or not, she has been a major pain in the ass, almost killed us several times (directly or indirectly), is responsible for the death of Herbert.

Either she was insane the entire time and opposed us or she will become insane in the future and will be danger to us.

I don't like saying this, but I think it's too dangerous to keep her alive.

Do it Isabel. Think about what she did. To Herbert. To you. To the zombified people.
It's hard. But this is an opportunity we will never get.

Kill her, Isabel. Kill her. True monsters never die, but she can, and she is as close to a monster as one can get.

Nicola crawls a step further through the shards. Isabel isn't sure what to do to her. Somewhere deep inside she even wants to help her...

A hand shoving her over the edge; a body torn in two;

Maybe Nicola has changed...

The feeling of blood beneath her soles; poison filling a room;

Isabel definitively doesn't want to kill her...

Cut the Achilles tendons and she won't run away; cut off some fingers and she might talk;

... but there are all those voices in the back...

The screaming has stopped.
Flowers bloom.
The roots grew too deep.

>>390921
Ah... I'm sorry Isabel. We know not what we do.

There's no more antidote now, is there? We can't save the big guy, so... There's nothing pressing at the moment. I won't suggest you do anything. Maybe you can recover if we don't influence you.

>>390921
Ah, shit. This is bad. She was pushed too far, and now her mind has snapped.

Is Nicola dead, or just unconscious? If she's not dead then try to patch her up - our goal was only to remove the threat she posed, and death was to be a last resort. Alive or dead she's no threat to anybody anymore.

I suggested cutting tendons because it's a very good mix of certain disabling and low threat to life; there was no intent for sadism or cruelty.
The threat of death was just a threat to change her responses, not a call for action. If I wanted her to die I would have said so directly instead of merely threatening.

>>390926
Time for a long-shot, maybe?
Isabel, set us down on her.

[Force black veins to drop control over her mind and focus on closing her wounds and keeping her alive]

If it works and she's still evil, then we just stop and she dies. Also, we have no pressing business since without the antidote there's nothing we can do to help the big guy. All this costs us is time, and that's something we've got.

and this is why you don't tell a peaceful person to kill.

ut the doll on the flower bed.

>>390926
>>390927
she's dead dead. the flowers are blood. her back is covered in flowers. only thing we can possibly do now is make her a good zombie rather then a evil one.

>>390956
This.

Let's see what we can do.

...And then Isabel was monster.

That's all very well and metaphorical, but could this be somewhere else? Somewhen else? Examine the flowers in your hand Isabel. Are the plants that flower dangerous?

Time passes.

The flowers have stopped growing, but the body still doesn't start to move.

Isabel tries pulling herself together and shakily sits up.

Some noises can be heared from the next room.

Isabel jumps up as a figure stumbles into the room and towards her.

herbet's head wasn't put on, that one is false.

>>392484
There are others here. It's possible that someone else put Herbert together.

On the other hand we should probably confirm that's him, and not a black vine-infested bot. Ask if that's really him... then HUG WITH FRIEND.

>>392511
no one else here has technical knowhow to put together a robot.

>>392512
Fine then, I guess this would have to be a black vine-infested robot. Use doll on robot.

>>392484
Is the body breathing?
Use doll on robot.

Throw us as hard as you can. TACTICAL HUGULAR STRIKE

Seriously if it's anything like Herbert you'll knock him on his ass. They're only dangerous once you open the grate on their face mask.

"Herbert...?"

The figure doesn't react and keeps moving towards Isabel, its arms stretched out towards her.

Isabel is starting to get a bad feeling about this.

"S- stop!"

The figure stumbles forward, trying to grab her.

Without thinking she rams the doll into its metal face.

they can't do much. just hold the doll on them for a moment and the black will die and they will lose power

You've got the right idea. The doll will disable these infested robots.

Brandish the shit out of that doll.

Hey, she poked us buddy. We didn't take no one who wasn't asking for it.

Oh dear. I'm not sure if we can face this guy.

Regardless, it seems there is a big clump of black vine right where his heart would be. If we can get the doll in contact with that...

Isabel staggers forward wielding the doll. The world around her feels numb and cold.

"Can he... be fixed...?"

"Maybe, but why would you want to fix it? It is of no use to you. You can have it if you want. I'll take this little puppet of yours as a trade... and don't say no, because I'm going to take it anyway."

"it destroyed the dark veins, it will destroy you. but you can have it anyway."

throw doll at where heart would be.

Yay, you made it out of the facility! Wait, shit.

>>394841
He's talking about Isabel, guys.
[Fix Isabel's mind]

>>394841
Oh wow, he's carrying his own head. I never noticed that before.

Isabel, you may have only one chance. Hit his heart with the doll. Hmm, or maybe his head. It's hard to say which is the better target.

You could knock his head away to make him blind, first. He will lash out immediately if you do that, so be ready to dodge. Then you can attack again while he is blind, and press the doll to his heart.

"It has a will of it's own. I don't think it will like you taking it. And it has weird consequences when it's unhappy. I'm willing to trade Herbert for it, definitely, but... it doesn't sound very advisable. This thing is real weird. It's also indestructible, it's withstood a lot of action. I think it's cursed."

What ever you do DON'T give hem the doll!

We don't know what he wants it for but it cant be good and separating us from you will cut off the communication.

Try to get info out of hem on why he wants it for. if situation turns for the worst (and it will using the fact that he has in the past with this guy) do a tactical retreat away from hem.
