Mutant Mutilation

"Puny smelly thing in my home." The creature looked to be stitched together from all sorts of people and then reinforced with cybernetic parts. Why the 99'ers had created it was anyone's guess. The creature lumbered out of where it appeared to have been sleeping and slammed a fist into the ground. Xanthiana didn't wait to see if it was hostile, she opened fire with her rifle, the bullets impacted but didn't seem to do much to the creatures flesh even with the acid impacts. Xanthiana kept on the run, the creature due to its size and the limits of its flesh seemed slow to get up and move around, which was a minor benefit considering Xanthiana didn't appear to have a means of hurting it.

"Options?" Xanthiana had grown so used to talking to Elly in her head, she was a bit surprised to have said it out loud.

"I'd suggest an escape." Xanthiana scanned the room quickly and didn't see any exit, which raised the question of how the huge monster got down here in the first place.

"Well if you can find an exit in this room I'd surely appreciate the heads up." The mutant had gone into a charge, Xanthiana side stepped it and it slammed hard into the rock wall causing the ceiling to shake over head bringing down part of the room. Xanthiana had forgotten about the crate of parts this job was originally about, she spotted it in the middle of the room miraculously unharmed, for the time being anyway.

"Structurally the room appears to be weakest in the northern section, if you can get the creature to damage it further, you should be able to use that to escape."

"So you want me to stand in front of the northern wall and hope the creature destroys it?"

"Well its either that or hoping the ineffectual bullets you are shooting will suddenly work."

"Fair point." Xanthiana went to the cave wall on the north side and shot toward the creatures face, she figured if she couldn't kill it, she might wound it or at the very least blind it. Her bullets made an impact into the eyes but didn't seem to do much damage, but they did enrage it so that it stopped, snorted, and then full on charged toward her. It was faster than before and almost caught her off guard. She felt her foot get clipped by the monster as it crashed into the wall, and then through it. The impact on her foot was enough to throw off her dodge and send her crashing into the ground.

"Get up Xan, the creature has been temporarily disabled!" Xanthiana looked up from the ground and could see the monster had impaled itself on a piece of the cavern, but as the EGO device had suggested, it did appear still functional and able to fight. Xanthiana ran back to the center of the room and snatched up the crate of supplies. She ran past the monster and found herself in what looked like some kind of run off for the mine proper, she could see light at the end of a tunnel and ran for it, behind her she could hear the creature waking up. She came into the light and found the mercs were waiting for her somehow.

"Trust me on this one boys, you're going to want to run." They laughed and then the monster burst forth and they weren't laughing anymore.
