I glance from my current situation and decide to take out one of the bigger threats. I gather all of my power and jump over to one of the omni drones, pick it up, and toss it through the wall into the water surrounding us. When I recover from my toss and look to see it quietly sinking into the dark depths - except it isn't sinking like it should be. It is using HOVER JETS!! I am very tired of cheating. I am one of the good guys and I should win because I have right on my side. They are allowed to kill and destroy and I can't. It is not fair that every single thing I try is not allowed to work.
Then one of the other omni drones throws something at me and I use my martial arts to dodge. It knocks into me and spins me around and bruises my left shoulder. OUCH!! I jump over and pick up the yellow one and toss it through the hole already there straight towards the first one that is trying to get back to the warehouse. Unfortunately it gets caught on the edges of the hole in the metal and it is stuck. I don't know whether it is going to ooze down or pull itself back into the room. It doesn't seem to know either.
Then two tentacles grab me by the ankles and I am sliding on my butt towards a metal crate. I manage to grab the crate beside me and toss it over the crate to further squish the yellow drone. I then take the crate it was trying to body slam me into and start using it to push the ooze out the hole and into the water. It wraps all of its tentacles around me and the crate and starts to pull me towards the water. I, think this is an excellent idea and push forward to assist its descent.
Behind me in the warehouse there is an explosion of some kind and now we are going up instead of down. Then a voice comes from the omni drome and some guy is telling me that he is happy that I he managed to get me away from the team because I am the one he wanted all this time. He is pleased I have been embracing my powers and thinks that I have been embued long enough to be able to get others infected from my aura alone. I personally think he has been taking happy pills, drinking juicy juice, imbibing inhibitors of sanity. Whatever he thinks, he doesn't get to use me. I drop all use of my power just as the drone starts to do some sort of electrical effect that is supposed to "power me up". I do a lovely swan dive (more of a swan flail if we are being brutally honest!) into the water below. I hit the water with a splash. The water steams and starts to turn orange. I go full power to see what happens and the water gets hotter. I go to half power and the water is like a sauna. I go back to normal human - at least I think I did.
I power dive to the bottom of the bay and can see the orange ooze rolling off of me, but it doesn't appear to be leaving me so my vain hope that it was boiling out of me I put out an all call for help asking for Tesla and Loki. Loki isn't much help, but Tesla gets specific and has me check for any metal that shouldn't be on me. As I am starting to frantically check over my body there is a strong compulsion to DESTROY THAT DIORAMA!!!!!
I start to slowly swim back towards the warehouse where I know the diorama is. Then a sand monster grabs me in the water and starts trying to touch me in inappropriate ways!! YOU'RE UNDER ATTACK! DEFEND YOURSELF! YOU MUST COMPLETE YOUR MISSION! I block his touches and continue to slowly swim towards the dock. I am trying to go as slowly as possible and then I "hear" they must be taught a lesson for interference! destroy the diorama then use the remote device on the northeast corner of the building to detonate all the bombs at once! I am positive that I heard that the back stroke was faster so I flip over in an attempt to get to the warehouse more quickly.
Then the compulsion is gone and I holler for Sahara to grab me out of the water and search me for the device While he is looking, Tesla lands and says that his first action will be to disable the feed. I disagree with his priority list, but he thinks it will impair his ability to control me as well. I tell him to go ahead if he insists. Then just as I feel the compulsion attempting to take over my mind again, he hacks and turns off the devices and I feel my mind to be completely free. Sahara looks again and this time he finds it on my back and it is the same color as my skin. Tesla takes the device to do some tests and then starts talking to Moon Knight - who is acting weird again.
Tesla asks us to put things in corners of the warehouse and then he connects them and an electronic web washes over the area and the beeping starts. Then there is an absolute swarm of paper -almost like confetti. Some women tells us the game is on and to catch us if we can. I pick up two of the papers to see what might be written on them: Message 1: At the risk to misreport ... what is said to be like trafficking and so similar to escort... yet most certainly is not a teleport? Message 2: At night they come without being fetched. By day they are lost without being stolen. What are they?
