Her neck makes an awful cracking noise as she tries to get a better look at the three people standing in front of her.
"WHATsss the HESitatON?"

Quentin doesn't respond. The corner of his mouth trembles but he holds his ground for now.
"Wwwh hhyy AREN't you FFIIGGHTTING ME? F-fFfuf ckkkkingggg COWWAARRDDS!!!"

Dasha starts to circle around Nicole? to see if there's something notable about her physiology.
"I-I hAVVEe the A-ammo to s-spare!!! You!!! You'REE ddeeeaD MEET!!! I'll F-FIRE FIRE FIRE UNT-UNTIL You-RE ALL DEAD."

Two guns levitate by the anomaly's side. One is a garishly pink shotgun stained in human mess. The other is a pearly white rifle from I-Corp. Both ae locked and loaded.

Two rings of pink light surround their barrels. A copycat of the power the G-Corp CEO was using.

Her voice cracks for the briefest of moments. As if something deep inside her briefly broke out of whatever delusion she's falling into. "S-stop. Stop looking at me like that. Like I'm a monster."

"WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS?" Quentin asks the anomaly in front of him. "WHAT YOU SEE YOURSELF AS IS WHAT MATTERS THE MOST."
"I'm. I'm the HERO. I'm. THE PROTECTOR. OF THIS CITY. soo Whw...why am I'm jussttt a. A. clown in their eyes. Wh..y..?" It goes silent as if it doesn't really know how to put the rest of its thoughts together. It is lost in its own thoughts for the time being.

Its body twitches in pain for a brief second.

>SECRET EVENT TRIGGERED. CAUSED BY SUMMONING THE ADMIRAL DURING THE STILLE DAG FIGHT.

Dasha shuffles back over to where you and Quentin were standing. She leans in to whisper something into your ear.
"I saw an eye squirming around her back. I thought it was just a sign of her mutation but it was blue. Bright blue. Brighter than any blue I've seen in my life."

"It stared at me like it was asking for help. Something's inside, trapped in her."
"Every time it moved or blinked, I swear I heard Nicole mumble about 'the friend inside her'."

You think you vaguely recall seeing someone appearing during all of the hassle back there in the HEART of the STILLE DAG BASE.
A man wearing an admiral's coat. A man you've heard whispers about from the other fools and sinners. A second entity using Nicole as a vessel.

This could be a very, very useful asset.
>VOTING OPTION UNLOCKED.
"IT APPEARS SHE BELIEVES WE ARE HER ENEMIES. YET, SHE REFUSES TO ATTACK US."
"SHE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE US BUT HER SUBCONSCIOUS MIGHT BE TELLING HERE WE'RE FAMILIAR. SHE'S JUST CONFUSED, SCARED. ALONE. WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO RECTIFY HER MISUNDERSTANDING."

"STAY QUIET. DON'T MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS."

"Good. I didn't like our odds on fighting it." Considering you just finished beating a CEO to death, or close to it anyways, this is probably the best outcome possible.
"I need someone to talk to it. Casey. Benjamin. You're up."

Casey carefully approaches-
Three pink portals manifest around Casey's body.
