Age of Humanity (after battle)

I don't see any terrorists.

Relax. I've brought plenty of regeneration ampules, so those murder machines can rampage all they want.

An ominous noise buzzed from the stopped machines.

Alright, all... You hear me?

I got pretty mad thinking you might have thought we ran off, so I'm sending you a message verbally.

I'm about to tell you something real important, so listen up.

……

A pause to rouse tension... Good.

<……>

It's that you are...

You are a bunch of worthless worms.

Yeah, that's right. You're just worms!

Gimme a break. I was all ears for this load of nonsense.

Gregor approached the speaker with a grumble, scratching the back of his head.

<Wait, Gregor!>

After playing the voice, the machine suddenly starts to heat up and inflate.

The machine is heating to unnatural degrees, its components expanding.

Oh my, it really is. That's a telltale sign of an imminent explosion.

Indeed, and that means...

Wait a moment! Get away from that damned machine!

Heathcliff kicked Gregor away from the machine.

Hmm... They must've used what little time they had to place traps like this.

Their dedication is admirable. I'm raring to see the mastermind behind this.

<Are all researchers like that? This really doesn't feel like the time for admirations.>

Such is our fate.
