- I marched toward the shambling crowd, cannons blazing. At this range, a round from the M-2s could go through four or five skulls before slowing down. I thundered through a hundred rounds in a few bursts and dropped twice as many exes. Then they were around me and I fired up the stunners.
- Exes don’t have any sense of pain, but they still have nervous systems, and those systems are still linked to their muscles. Which means a 200,000-volt blast will still drop one. The key thing to remember is it won’t stop them. The second the juice is off, they’re good to go again.
- One pass of my hands and a dozen exes collapsed. I brought my arms back and watched ten more drop. Rounds splattered off the concrete as O’Neill, Laigaie, and Mao kept them down.
- All around me. Ten, twenty, thirty of them. I swung my arms, swept a group of them together with a crunch of bones. They were hanging on my arms, on my legs, clutching at my waist. The sound of chattering teeth filled the battlesuit. I thrashed. I pounded. Warning lights flashed to remind me of the unexpected extra weight “on each limb. I kept my eyes shut and crushed anything I got my hands on. My arms swung and I felt bodies slam against them.”
