The beast recoiled at the sudden presence of light, its head turning just in time to catch the iron pipe headed into its face. It stumbled backwards, a fair of claws covering its fresh wound.
"What is this thing?" The albino asked, readying the pipe for another swing.
"Not sure," Madeline replied, running over to the dreamer so she could assist her with standing up.
"Whatever it is, let's just put it out of its misery." Rush leveled out his gun and fired at the beast, nailing his shot and making the creature double over. Madotsuki rushed into the fray as soon as she recovered, making quick work of her foe with the help of her teammates.
Eventually the beast collapsed to the floor, no longer moving. The black object in its back hummed and trembled, and the crew took cover as it burst out of the monster at breakneck speed. It collided with the ceiling, then fell to the floor and vibrated for a few seconds before becoming still.
Hesitantly, the half-baku reached over and picked up the thing. She could feel... something trying to crawl into her skin as she examined what looked like some sort of computer chip. It wasn't an entirely unpleasant feeling, but she wasn't going to allow it to access her body if that cyclopes was any indication of what would happen.
"Hey, um, I think that thing made our job a lot easier," the brunette said, pointing over to where Madotsuki had tripped earlier. A corpse of a bulky man lied there, evidently the thing that had made the dreamer lose her footing. He wasn't wearing any sort of guard clothing, so she could assume that it was one of the rival gang members.
"Yeah, I was going to mention that," Sabitsuki said. "There were a few more bodies in the breaker room."
"You thinking about getting the stuff now?" Rush asked.
The Rust member nodded. "Sure. The only people I saw around here were dead, so..."
'Can you handle that on your own?' Madotsuki held up the chip. 'I feel like this thing is really important. I need info.'
"Info?" The albino repeated. "I've heard of this scientist up on Tier 2. Maybe he could help?"
'Can I get directions?'
"Sure."
