Well. That went poorly.

Snow falls in whispers around me, patting the snow like so many quiet footfalls. My weapons are scattered about. And my legs are missing. This isn't exactly new for me, but it is exquisitely painful. My comms are malfunctioning thanks to some jamming, and a powerful knock to your head has jumbled up my memories -

=once we dined in halls of gold and white among kings and queens and we watched the universe dance around our whims like tiny gods=

-And there's that, too, that's new. Proxies, robotic servitors of the Corprus. And one of them - massive, spidery, and well-armed, shudders in its motions as it turns to me, partitions on its body opening. This is bad, my battlesense tells me. My mobility is so limited as to be a joke, my weaponry is scattered about me, I'm losing my already fragmented, scattered mind, Nova's ability is gone from Copy, and Nova...

Right, where is she, anyway?

A feminine roar of anger greets your senses as something flies in from above, wielding a melee weapon - only to be shot by a high-powered laser in the belly, and the emitter moves to open her up. She falls nearby, groaning.

Great. Just...

Great.

Welp.

I roll over and grasp the heat dagger from one side, barely dodging another laser. Activating Iron Skin to block further assaults, I move towards Nova - and watch as her head is blasted to pieces with another shot. Have to be quick. Have to be precise.

The blade cuts through the armor after the first try, and with a few jerky cuts the legs seperate, almost as if they were made to. It's the touch of my Gestalt arm, I realize - the armor simply opens up and allows the seperation to occur.

...What the hell?

Attaching them is quick, they practically rocket into place, partial remains of my Excalibur legs ejected like dead weight.

Move, got to move!

I reach out, and... something... opens in front of me, depositing me in a building with a hole in it. The same building where Nova and I fought the big robot and it smashed into me, severing my legs and throwing me down.

It takes some time, but I find a railgun similar to the one I'd been using previously. Sliding it onto my back, I move to proceed, when something shakes the room - the huge Proxy is back, trying and failing to crawl back into the room. I draw my weapon, moving towards the door, only for it to blast the door into unusability, clambering up.

I feel the arm bridle with lattice as it grips the heat dagger, and I run at the Proxy full speed. I rear back my arm holding the Dagger, and my other, I use as a shield against the multiple lasers that launch my way. One scores along my elbow. One slices into my shoulder, cutting into the side of my jaw. One scores a hit, shallow, on my leg.

I leap.

Both hands grip the handle of the blade, slamming it into the core of the leg, peircing hydraulics and wiring.

With a cry, I kick at the upper leg, above the cut from the dagger, and it wrenches, groaning - below the cut, the leg is unresponsive, and i leap away from the lasers - which score its own dead leg, severing one of its few anchoring points.

The lasers train on me again. I don't have the energy to pull that stunt again, and it's slowly gaining ground, though it has to put a lot of effort and power into it.

>Flee.

>Look around the environment. Surely there's a way...
