Action: push accelerator pedal as hard as possible!
You push the pedal, importuning whatever force is responsible for travel to make you arrive already. Miraculously, you are heard, and you park your machine right next to the captured jethover. McGaw is there, talking to Al-Radi. Will extracts the prisoner from the hover and stands behind them, doing his best to look menacingly insane.
Al-Radi switches his attention to you.
"So you have taken prisoners, I see. Any information?""I can't betray what I haven't sworn allegiance to!"
Use my other arm to grab my pistol and shoot the lumberjack, then pick up the psycho and run.
[ag:2+1] You twist round, taking your pistol out of its holster and twisting your arm backward, but your opponent sways to the side while still keeping your other arm locked, and your bullet only grazes him. It seems to you that you can't twist your arm far enough to hit him.
[enemy:2] He applies more pressure to your arm to break it, but your superior agility saves you.
Suddenly, the man is thrown off your back. You turn to see Everett standing over you, his Singijeon smoking in his hand.
[fire:5] The fire you started before is now a roaring conflagration. It doesn't threaten you, but you can write "starting forest fires" to your record, right beside "stabbing crocs to death".
[tgh:3] You feel like your blood is trying to melt through your veins. It's an inescapable and incredibly
irritating kind of heat. At the same time, you feel old memories surfacing in your brain, memories of hunting great beasts, blood and glory. You feel sick, uncomfortable, and furious, and not at all well.
"The fuck is going on now!"
Get right up close, shoot offender if he acts like a moron.
Upon closer inspection, the offender is totally nuts: his pupils have shrunk to pinpricks, and his face has an unhealthy ruddy-red colour. You see one of the insects crawl out from beneath his parka and disappear back.
[4] Deciding that some things just need to be done, you shoot the guy before he can react, hitting him in the chest. The impact throws him off Markus. He lands on his back, cursing at you. He sounds like he's quoting a twentieth-century dictator: the manner of his speech is sharp and brisk, including phrases like "security of the Homeland" and "necessary measures". It doesn't look like he realizes where he is.
You could just leave him and run on: it's unlikely that he can pursue you in this state.
