From Create Your Own Story

Sami appears to go on her own, looking into the bedroom. There are a few shots hurt, the pumping air and the fizzing of sucked up slimeroaches.

You and Pila move themselves to the kitchen first, where you set up a trap by the sink's fountain. You will check it on the way out, but its sweet aroma usually catches things quickly, depositing a pellet into each slimeroach that it comes across. You then move to the bathroom, deciding to take the bedroom on last since Sami is in there. Pila taps you on the back and you look behind you, seeing her eyes distracted to the scanner. "The wall." She instructs, and you see a vent. You remove it with your screw driver - it is fairly sizable, and goes upward.

"I can do it." Pila smiles and takes the trap from your hands. "My arms are smaller anyway - I want to know how to set one up."

You try and be friendly about it, though do not like the idea of Pila being in danger. You briefly look outside and notice that Sami has entered the hallway already, likely to take a quick look around. You hear more shots. "It's a sticky trap, so just press the button on the side and hold it against a surface. One should be enough."

Pila lays on her back and moves up to the vent. She reaches her hand in just as you notice a slimeroach by her free arm. Of course! You never checked if there were slimeroaches in the bathroom first! You draw your gun and begin to aim, but then you hear her scream right as the click of the trap being set takes place. You drop the gun and pull her back, and see two slimeroaches on her right arm, crawling upwards. Her other arm now has the first roach attached to it. You frankly grab the gun and fire at the arm with two roaches, actually hitting on - you'd hope so, it was almost point blank. You cock the gun again and aim for the second, but the sound of the first already sent the roaches running wild across Pila's body. They are quickly eating away at anything they can, dissolving all they digest. Both her sleeves are gone up to the shoulder. They eat away at the jumpsuit under her arm as well. One of them sloshes inside her jumpsuit, while the other moves behind her as she turned on the ground. You shoot again at that one, and it fizzes to just a pellet.

Sami burst into the room, her gun brandished. Her plastic belt was missing, though. She looked to Pila, who yelled, "It's in my suit!" She took her gun, stuffed it into the made arm hole, and fired until her gun clicked empty.

Pila cried, curled on the floor. Her jumpsuit's sleeves were gone, and now the arm holes left over were a bit wider than the sleeves themselves. The one who went to her back only encountered the back of the chest protector, so nothing was harmed. Under her arm, you notice there is just skin - you see nothing of note, but thought there would be a shirt, or a bra at least. You then realize possibly there was, but the slimeroach ate it.

"What are you standing staring for? Hurry up and clear the apartment!" Sami snaps, and as you quickly leave outside, she says, "But don't go outside. Stay in the apartment." In a much less angry tone. You hear her say to Pila now that she knows how much it hurts to get shot, and that she is sorry.

You make your way slowly through the apartment, slowly clearing out and setting up traps to each corner of the area. This was one of dozens of apartments! You had enough traps for now, but already something had happened. Luckily, Pila did not have to be in any more danger - Sami was sure to see to that.

Sami and Pila moved out of the bathroom. Sami had in her hand Pila's spare clip, which she used to load her gun. "Outside is a mess. They're everywhere - larger than ever. Must have been here a while. No wonder the City Officials wanted it done fast and by people they didn't care about."

"Is it dangerous?" You ask.

"Of course!" Sami says, gesturing to Pila, who was now recovering. "Pila shouldn't be left alone, but we can't leave the pellets alone, either. Either you deal with the pellets and we send Pila back for supplies, or you stay with her behind me and set up traps."

"Are you fine by yourself?"

"Of course I am!" Sami was hot with anger, and you nod in nervousness. "I can't believe you let her get hurt like this. I shouldn't even consider leaving you alone with her."

"It's fine." Pila said, finally, wiping her nose. "Really. He did a lot."

Those words, simple as they were, make you feel tremendously better. Sami clearly is not pleased, but at least Pila returns to smiling to you. She looks into the scanner. "At a range, I won't be able to help as much, but if we need supplies, I can certainly go back."

You can either stay and sweep with Pila, or move move with Sami, though either way, you feel Sami will not be happy.
