You feel bad leaving Pila alone after what happened, but you feel you do more damage actually on the field. The traps have to be set, after all. You move out to the hallway with Sami, and breath in quickly, seeing what the state was in. Clearly the slimeroaches have been at the complex for a while - the other apartments were nearly empty, and the ground was half eaten away.
"Damn. They moved." She said. "Huge things. Bigger than the vent ones." She looks to you with an icy glare. "They are tearing this place down pretty well. We continue the plan, moving downward, understood?"
You nod, and move behind her as she scouts ahead, you placing the traps as you move along thoroughly. "I don't care what Pila said. You were at fault." She says after a while of doing this, and honestly, you don't know what to say, so you continue to put the traps and keep your mouth shut.
Only three more slimeroaches were found around, the rest seemingly having ran. You initially think a possibility of the roof, but in general they were not fond of sunlight, and it was a very hot, sunny day. They likely actually did go downward. Unfortunately, the stairs had been fairly well eaten, though some occasional steps here or there were likely to be taken. Sami went first, stepping with caution to the half eaten steps. Below was just more ground, and not far off were the struts and concrete keeping everything up, but she did not want to trip and fall on such uneven ground. The two of you make it to the next floor down, where you see some of the largest slimeroaches - at least half the size of you, slowly sloshing about. The walls themselves were practically gone, here.
"I think the building's gonna come down." Sami said softly and aimed her gun. She waits for you to ready yourself, so you do, and the two of you begin to fire, taking out the slimeroaches two by two, sending the rest scampering either up or down - the ones going up likely falling victim to the traps.
The floor was rather empty, with most of the apartments very well destroyed. Sami looks intent to finding something.
"See my gun belt?" She finally asks as the floor was cleared and trapped. "At least if something ate one of the clips it'd be dead."
You see the gun belt, though, on a ledge where the ground has been eaten completely away to reveal the floor underneath. The ledge is across the way, and as you notice is, Sami does as well. "Shit." She says, and moves to the edge. She kneels down and tries to reach across. "Well, can you reach it?"
You get beside and and reach as well, your fingers feeling the edges of the belt. "There you are!" She says, and you try more. Then, upstairs, you hear a scream from Pila, and with a startled jump, Sami stands up, pushing off of your back.
You fall down a floor, landing on the back of your head.
You wake with a strange, cold, wet-like feeling over you. You look down and see three slimeroaches on your body. In a panic, you feel for your gun, it being right next to your hand. You fire at them, one after another, and they fizz into pellets. You stand up and brush at your body before calming down. You see they had eaten away at your pants and shirt, though your jacket was well enough intact, and your boxers were there. It was a sorry state to be in, but the fall didn't kill you, or knock you down further than one floor. You look into the rest of the apartment you are in, knowing there were plenty more around you, and cautiously make your way into the hall.
There are many more here, but after one shot, they go scampering. Some go up, and you know are then caught in a trapped. Some just move back, and you make your way back to the stairs. "Sami? Pila?" You call upward, and notice a settling cloud of dust. Something collapsed up there! You rush up two floors, slipping on the steps twice, and see both Sami and Pila with one slimeroach on them - one must have been missed. You fire a shot at it, and kneel beside them.
Both still had their chest protectors, and both had looked to have fallen from the upper floor. Sami's guns were missing. You try and shake Sami awake, then switch to Pila. Both began to rouse at the same time. You see now that one of Pila's jumpsuit's pantlegs were eaten up to her thigh. She must have gotten hit from below and couldn't get it off.
"Hey!" Sami sat up quick, then looks to you and then Pila. You see now her jacket does not have sleeves anymore.
"Are you alright?" You ask.
"Damn thing jumped Pila." Sami says and feels her arms. "I dropped my guns when I tripped. They fell down some hole flights down. I tried to pull it off of her." You knew, of course, that would not have worked.
"Where did it go?" You ask.
"Damned if I know." Sami said and looked around. "The ground gave way with all of our jumping around. We need to clear out of here and do a better sweep of the stability of the building."
Pila held her head, then looked to you. "You got hit too." She says.
You recall the state you are in, and draw your body inward in defense. "Yes. Well, I got the belt back." You hand Sami's belt back to her.
"Good lot this does without a gun." She says, then snaps at your gun, which you of course hand over with your remaining clip. "Let's head back to reequip."
"What about the slimeroach?" You ask.
"It's just one." She says with a shrug. "We will get it on the way back."
Still, you are uneasy about it. It would not have gone far, after all. You could look for it yourself, but you are without a weapon. Otherwise, you could just join Sami going upstairs and go back to reequip.
