Inside 73: Holiday Rush

[Recaiden]

[Fenric's Quest]

Selekhael isn't super great at destroying large groups of enemies. Not without bringing the tunnel down around them, anyway. She releases instead a burst of temporal energy in an attempt to freeze the slimes in place while she thinks of a solution.

The main ooze stubbornly hugs Omiko even as it is vacuumed away, utterly unwilling to relinquish a meal - food is so scarce down here! Omiko will have no trouble disposing of the bulk of the thing, only splitting off three little blobs that separate at the last moment.

Selekhael freezes the oozlet-swarm with no difficulty. They're almost cute in action figure form, and would probably sell well.

The shell funnel swirls back away into Omiko's form, and her gun arm fires another destructive ray at one of the little blobs - the one nearest the wall. A fanged pseudopod sprouts from her hip and tries to bite a second. All of the rest of her is taking a moment to breathe, recover, appreciate not being covered in ooze, etc.
