<YEAH, SAME.> Came over Leveret's HUD.

"Not impressed." Chegar said. "Most effects short of your mass infestation outbreak are easily attained through mental and physical conditioning. Not to mention, had these subjects had a support line, much of Tarnas's and Tavus's trauma could've been sorted out months in advance." he shifted his stance. "not to mention, we barely have any control over the Helmenth strain as it is. What makes you think this one is any more controllable? You've created a walking time bomb for everyone; not just the corpus and Grineer."

"But think about this: One of my creations could attack a Grineer or Corpus base of any size on their own. As the crew of a base is turned by the Infested, they will infect others, who will infect others. A few hours or days later, the simple presence of one of the Telos subjects has destroyed a critical enemy position without backup." Clogori explained. "As for Tavus and Tarnas, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Sacrifices must be ma-"

<NO OBJECTIONS HERE. SHALL WE?>

Ebony gave Clorogi a look.

"And I'm going to hazard a guess and say that these were unwilling subject, correct? Well, I t-"

Halftway through her second sentence, she swung her glaive at his throat, magnetically pulling him towards her weapon.

Her glance never made contact with Clogori, instead going right through him. He had entered the Rift the moment he had seen Ebony begin her attack. He was untouchable.

"To answer your question, these... we're not willing subjects. However... you can't deny the effectiveness of those that survived the Infested long enough to reach their full potential. Looks how easily Tarnas here wiped out most of the crew." Clogori sounded very calm when you consider he was actively being attacked.

Leveret quickly added to the attack with a wave of ice to meet Clogori and hopefully keep him from being able to retaliate.

Unfortunately, clogori entered the rift too soon for Leveret's ice to hit. He snarled angrily and stormed towards Tarnas, drawing a sheev and holding the red-hot blade to his throat. "Get out of your stupid rift or your project dies!" he growled.

With a flick of his wrist, Tarnas had been banished to the Rift as well. Clogori didn't bother reaching for his weapon, knowing he was untouchable as it was. With Tarnas safe, Clogori began channeling another ability. He spread his arms, and started leviating ever so slightly as his hat floated off, the Rift fluctuating around himself...

(Guess what Clogori's doing! You get one guess)

((Surrendering?))

Ebony was suddenly yanked backwards as her body was magnetically pulled out of the room. She snatches her glaive out of the air as it returns to her, and she braced for Tarnas's attack.

Clogori clasped his hands together, a Rift Cataclysm forming around and the others in (and within a few meters of) the room. Without stopping for even a moment, Clogori channeled another ability, and everyone caught in the bubble was (hopefully) frozen in place, helpless.

(Yes, he just used Cataclysm and Stasis to cheese this entire fight. What of it?)

(fun yet unfortunate fact. In game, frame abilities don't affect operators, much to my dismay during eidolon hunts.)

(and careful with the cheese, you might just get hit with casu marzu.)

Celeste ducks underneath a bed, still being able to to move due to being on the farthest edges of the cramped quarters. A short *blip later, and she seemingly teleports to being right in front of the entrance door.

"Nice. You got a twirly moustache underneath that thing too?." she says, as she leans back and slides the door open. Out of immediate eyesight a pair of nullifier orbs lay sticking to the Limbo's hat. In an instant, the scavenged corpus spheres light up, enveloping the frame and more importantly the casted cataclysm with it's disruptive aura.

"You know, I was thinking the same thing to myself earlier, believe it or not." Ebony said, sending her glaive hurling towards Clorogi the second the nullifier bubble got in range. But it wasn't aimed at Clorogi - it was aimed at Tarnas.

As the bubble erupted around them, Chegar bullet jumped from the room, grabbing Leveret by the scruff in the processed. Chegar Tumbled, narrowly avoiding being caught by Clogori's stasis.

In an instant, Clogori grabbed one of his Kronen and blocked the glaive, and gapped one of his Magnus pistols and shot the panel beside the door to the storage room, locking Clogori in there, since everyone had escaped the room when he had tried putting them in stasis. The door closed shut, locked.

(Aaaaaaand Clogori might have escaped again. Also, I think he might have trapped the glaive in the room with him.)

Leveret yelped as he was suddenly pulled out of the room. After Chegar tumbled, he took a moment to get his bearings before angrily starting to pound on the locked door, cursing loudly and yelling in some mix of grineer/tenno.

Giving her tongue a click, Celeste runs past the various suits and towards the locked door at the back of the quarters.  A soon as she get within jumping distance she leaps outward and onto the door, planting both boots on the sliding metal with a dampened CLANG. 

Like a wound up spring, Celeste leaps off the door and back to the entrance. As she does so, the door hinges' weakjoints get amplified to more than several dozen years of use in an instant, and the door is hit with a massive shockwave strong enough to send even bolted doors flying.

The doors knock over a couple of the shelves in the room, making a fairly loud and annoying noise. However, neither Clogori or Tarnas are anywhere to be seen. They'd already made their escape. At this moment, several crewmen are walking over, confused. Among them is Efahz, easily identified by his limp. Some of them had their weapons at the ready, and a couple had theirs pointed directly at the protagonists. (I'm calling them that now.)

Ebony raised a hand, and all of their assault rifles were yanked to the floor. Attempting to lift them back up was futile - they were stuck to the floor by an extreme magnetic force.

"WHOA WHOA HEY!" Chegar called out in the middle of the magnetically charged room. "Despite what just happened, we all need to CALM Down." He continued, making sure his weapons where properly holstered and sheathed. he then turned to the crewmen. "Sorry for the... inconvenience, gentlemen. everyone alright?"

Not only that, but 90% of the crew is dead, our employer just ran off with a person of mass destruction, and we still have no way of getting off of this Gaben-forsaken rock." Judging by the voice, the crewman that just spoke up was Efahz, who was walking toward the group while the rest of the crewmen watched.

He turned to the crewmen. "I have some ideas for possible food and weapons. As for Clogori and Big Ugly," he sighed, "I've got nothing."

"What, you've never fought infested with your bare hands before? You should totally give it a try, it's sooo cathartic." Celeste pips in at the back, her priorities clearly not on the same page as the others at least in terms of survival.

"And if you refrain from pointing guns at me from now on, maybe I won't break them. Or you."

"We started pointing guns at you after you did your crazy Tenno stuff in the one safe haven left on this ship, and you try and hurt us?" Efahz said to Ebony, raising his voice again. "Now, unless we can fix some of these, we're almost defenseless." Efahz turned to Celeste next.

"You probably have good intentions, but could you take things a bit more seriously? We could very well die here." He explained to Celeste, his voice lowering a little. "And yes, sending abother distress call is out of the question."

The rest of the crewmen had started walking backward, and were mostly standing behind Efahz now. (I mean, he did just talk back to a space ninja.) Most of them had simply left their crumpled weapons on the ground in favor of not dying horrific deaths. Efahz turned his head to Leveret, clearly giving him a chance to offer his ideas for getting more food and weaponry.
