Western Manufacturing Facility
Firing at the enemy with her weapon held sideways, Vizil clung underneath Jared's towering power armor frame, and with her lips, almost incoherently, muttered, "ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck".
Although her shots missed disproportionately , the rest of the Inquiry team managed to correctly line up their sights with the enemy, knocking down one Elefirn worker as another dragged their comrade away and replaced her position. As Jared continued to fill the opposing end of the hallway rife with active ammunition, his perceptive eyes managed to see small bits and pieces of the environmental suits fly off and fail to harm his victim. Though as Vizil reloaded her weapon in the safety area Jared provided, Linda's weapon roared across from Jared as Linda completed her transmission.
The blasted voraciously bit into the enemy's shoulder, sending the bogey stumbling a few steps backward as the hiss of pressurized air filled the enemy's vicinity along with an intense, yet small, purple flame. Past the gunfire it was impossible to hear the screeches of pain that came from that particular worker. Even if it was audible, a sudden transmission from allied greens began to play back and muffled the battlefield. However, the message itself was still stifled by quite a bit despite being so close to a cluster of information.
Transmission - Command to Sergeant:
...Mess ---rece...dis- add... ordan... St-By.
The message slowly receded into back into radio silence. After which, Linda took an almost instantaneous glance to see Glynn's progress on the explosive charge.
"The explosive is almost ready Sergeant! Be advised, the shockw-"
A single lucky shot from the enemy abruptly cut Glynn's warning in half, as it managed to fly it's way past most of the inquiry team, and towards the delicate equipment. Within the span of a nanosecond the vicinity grew abnormally quiet before the hallway erupted with a surprisingly massive force, followed by an instantaneous fire. The blast pushed the members of the Inquiry around and against the walls while the opposing Elefirn workers were met with scorching winds that pushed them back, accompanied by fires that lingered on whatever remained of their furry coats.
As the air began to rapidly return to hospitable levels, the particles of dust began to thickly swirl around and refused to settle on the wreckage of the area. It would be impossible for the naked eye to discern anything past this dust bowl aside from a natural light that licked it's way into the ruins of the hallway.

The brutish creature busted through it's scientific cage, and flung pieces of shrapnel with wanton destruction, colliding with it's neighboring test tubes, tearing apart both metal and glass. A portion of the shrapnel managed to sink itself harmlessly into Alec's pauldron as he began to fire and tear into the mutated Elefirn with his rifle. Each shot tore and flung a chunk of the creature's flesh towards the lab's once sterile walls before it laid motionless on the ground for a spell of a few seconds.
Within moments of dropping the creature, the monstrosity began to violently spasm on the ground despite the growing amount of gore splattered across the ground, painting the floor a vile shade of red. Slowly it began to flop and contort it's body with force as if it were a fish out of water, and began to slowly make it's way towards the pair once more with it's distorted use of muscles.
Much like it's downed relative, the other hideous love child of biology with the long claws began to vainfully slash at the air outside it's test tube with pained croaks. Unlike the ugly bastard with the Nepleslian ammo slowly sinking into it's flesh, this creature was chained to the remainder of it's test tube, it's flesh had melded with the remainder of test tube walls.
While the creature began to move it's soon-to-be necrotic flesh, Mark had finished increasing the yield of his breaching explosive. As per his warning to Alec, the kinetic energy that the device would unleash was something to be fearful of. Mark could surmise that the direct exposure to the blast would be something that not even his thick Nepleslian armor would be able to withstand without moderate amounts of damage. Despite this however, it was guaranteed that the explosive would bore a massive hole through the thick lab doors.
