(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

6's now give half an experience point, as opposed to the zero it gave before. Through some retconning with that rule in mind, Derm got some new toys! Oh, and there may have been another person with you. That had a magical demon-culling sword. Who is now at the bottom of the ocean.

I forgot to mention it in the turn before, but the mayor was carried onto the ship before the maelstrom started. So he's still with you.

Meta:Head out to section 5
(...) You slip out of the mech storage room and head down to sector 5. John follows you, holding your hand. Weird.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There are a few ugly-looking couches and a flat-screen TV. At the back of the room you can see a pedestal. It begins shining a bright blue color as you step into the room.
Meta: find Divide, and try to heal his hand
(...) Pulling a scalpel from the medkit, you run into sector 5 after John and Frederick and stab John's broken hand! He screams through his thick bandages and swings his arms wildly! (...) He side-swipes you in the gut and you stagger back!
RW: Back Back Back >>> Private

Meta: Keep following him. No matter what.
(...) You tightly hold onto the person's hand and follow them around, nuzzling them periodically. Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain in your hand and swing your arms blindly, eventually hitting... something.
