Let No One Hinder Progress

*Krill is preparing for another round of attacks into Da Devil's chest as she feels the snap. Her pupils explode back into place and she backs off as she sees Morgen come skidding into the hall. A bone-deep rumble emanates from her as she advances on her maker*

*Morgen's smug expression falls away as her body reacts to the lack of oxygen. She struggles but can't gain any leverage against her experiment. Spots begin to form in her vision.

*footsteps approach the generator room. emma tries to shift her position to see or hear who’s coming, but quickly gives up when the movement shoots more pain through her body.*

*Mary runs to the door of the generator room. She slaps with her weak little hands, not knowing how to open doors.*

*The Herrscher of Sentience and @hells-favorite-therapist reach the doors as well.*

…okay, let’s…let’s see this.

…y. Yep.

(.. …d. dad?)

…i.

“No, you won’t.”

…

“Fine. Hard way it is then.”

…okay…

*Dr. Nobles walks up to 4053's tank, brushing chitinous powder off her lab coat.*

*She seems genuinely pleased by that and makes a note on her tablet*

I was a-afraid that she was...

"No, its much more useful alive.

*Mary sighs and holds out her arm. It's way better to be useful around here.*

*Mary keeps on a poker face with a small smile. She keeps a thoughtful agreeable pose while her mind goes wild.*

*That was an out of the blue shock to Mary.*

*emma is still strapped into the generator, awake and alive, but unmoving. moving at all would only make the pain worse. her eyes are glowing white, and her breathing is labored.*

E-Emma?

*Confusedly looks back to the device mulling this information over in her head.*

*Mary quietly mulls this over, adverting her eyes from Emma.*

"And how would we accomplish that? It's quite dangerous to touch an active generator. No. The muzzle was a consequence of poor behavior and it will have to come to terms with that.

*Mary shoves Nobles, trying to push her into the path of the electricity. But fails miserably only succeeding at knocking Nobles off balance. This gives her enough time to run away. She runs fast, no knowing where to go and just finds herself back to her experiment room.*

*emma, as out of it as she is, takes notice of mary’s act of rebellion and perks up slightly.*

*Morgen stands in stunned silence for a moment, before her face smooths into a mask of calm and she stalks down the hall after her wayward experiment.*
