Going to rip him into shreds and make him feel his dismembered parts as I set them aflame Take one shot at him. Attempt to neutralize the artifact if possible. Afterwards I'm going to retreat until we hit relative normalcy.
Let brain guy take one laser rifle shot with the arms holding it. Then go into the nearest door (assuming there are any, if not just take the nearest path away from Union Dumbass Guy. Try to contact rest of the team over the comms and find out where they are. If I can, head toward them.
If any message does get through to the other team members:
:Fellow ARM members, this is Vanessa Anagrid. I'm experiencing severe reality distortions directly following another teammate sticking some form of bone bayonet into the same blurry area that caused the teammate who stuck his head into it to become supernaturally murderous. The walls are bleeding and turning into meat. If any of you could give me a comparison of my location in comparison to yours and how I could get to you, I'd appreciate it. I repeat, the walls are turning into meat. This is not a situation I want to be in.:
You run down the hallway until you reach the end. The hallway appears to end in a single door.
"That's a scary tone of voice you got there...almost like you were someone else there for a bit...anyways. One laser burst coming up."
Disable the artifact in Duncans hand with the laser rifle in the arms that Xan Vanessa is giving me control of. Or take off his hand, whichever is easier.
The thing duncan just made and that isn't the source of the meat ? Ok.
You shoot your laser at the thing but it is completely unaffected by the attack.
"I think this area is collapsing, for some reason! Evacuate while you can, men!"
Duncan dives into the corridor, the long one, and rolls away from the meat and into a random door, slamming it behind him. He lets people in if they cry for help, though doesn't let any scary fleshmonsters in. Especially not ones under big cloaks.
Also, take a look at the stone, and think very hard about my own protection at it. Try tasting it, if this does nothing.
Thinking is not the right nomenclature. Nor is praying. Nor commanding. Hoping is close.
You run into the nearest unopened door close it behind you. Inside is a small square room with no defining features. You look back and the door is gone, replaced with a blank wall.
Neat.
"Other Flint is either invulnerable, or he's just in our heads. Maybe this is all a bad dream..."
Keep close to our Flint for warmth and comfort.
The warmth and comfort of a metal leg.
Meditate.
Drop into Limbo.
Die, looking extremely rad while doing so.
Separate cane into small lumps, swallow all.
Go a few doors down the infinite hallway, open a door a bit and peek in. Exercise caution, take note of how useful my new 'spatial-awareness' are.
You peak in. Inside is a room, a patient's room. There's a bed and a desk and a few scattered personal effects. The bed is empty but there's paper on the desk.
Search random doors near flint, safety in numbers.
You open a door and find Vanessa standing right outside it.
"Erm," Jobasio actually sounds slightly rattled for a moment as he talks over the comms, as opposed to his usual batty cheerfulness, "I seem to have found a, um, well..." He pauses for a moment, stroking his gauss rifle for assurance and quickly regaining his composure.
"Let's just say the inhabitants of this facility seem to be pretty cool guys. That is to say I found them in a freezer. Strung up like meat. Which is what they are, as far as I can see... well, excepting the possibility that this place is some colony of murderous cannibals experienced in luring and catching human prey, anyhow."
Robo-asio hesitates at the room's threshold.
"Scanning for any anomalous behaviour, but so far they're just reasonably dead."
Inspect the room from the doorway with my cam-eye. Any life signs? Also do any of them look familiar?
Be ready to beat a hasty retreat if any of these frosty folks happen to start moving or anything silly like that.
Well, the bodies are all real by the look of it, through x-ray you can see their skeletons and stuff. No signs of life, all quiet here.
((I'm very tempted to pick up someone and just throw him at headless Flint to see what happens.
Also, I'd say "I told you so" at NJW if I hadn't done some equally silly stuff myself.
Speaking of silly stuff...))
One final attempt: Give him the chair. By which I mean, throw an invincible chair and a bad pun at him. Not too hard, don't want to hurt him, aim for the legs, just try to trip him. Maybe something created here will have a different effect.
"All that walking must be tiring your legs. Why don't you... take a seat!"
Speaking of legs, does he have human legs or robot legs like me?
If the chair throwing fails, then just follow him for a while longer, occasionally marking the corridor with spraypaint. See if he leads us to anywhere interesting.
He appears to have robot legs.
You huck the chair at his lower body and the instant the two objects collide, they both burst and vanish in a flash of light.
Alright...
