In one of the tunnels, at least 30 men and women from various organizations, from CATO to Journeymen to Wendi Boys, are all impaled to the ceiling on iron spikes and dribbling gore like a rain cloud.
Theo and Braafheid stand just outside the dripping blood of staked corpses. They admire their work silently.
The large, many-armed creature is roaming such a tunnel. It pokes it head out and looks around cautiously, admiring the work but more in search of whatever it can get its hands on.
Theo kneels down and pats their lap, an attempt to call the creature closer. Braafheid doesn't respond.
The thing moves closer, about the size of a small car, its false head tilting to the side "Helloooooo! Mind if I take whatever you lads don't need?"

The boy runs up to this. “Woah! How did you get all those kills? Can you teach me?”
The turns. "Well, what do you wanna use that power for? Just because you can kill doesn't mean you should."

He sees Lemmy watching him. 'What the...'
"A message." Theo casually explains. "You signed up for this, remember."
None of the bodies are unchipped.
'I guess I did. This is... brutal, man. And brilliant, I suppose. This will get folks talking. But, like those guys are CATO. We're what, criminals now?'
A large robotic creature crawls around the deep, dark underbelly of the Leonidas Line. A large metal humanoid figure with six different metal appendages fused to its body skitters around, digging through trash cans and anything it seems to deem acceptable to dig through. It wears a coat, clearly stolen as it's too nice to even be down here, with arm holes ripped out for the extra arms. It picks up some cans, a metal ring of sorts, and a rat by its tail and stuffs it into a compartment in its center.
He sees a masked figure in dirty yellow protective gear up ahead. The figure is carrying a heavy rucksack, and seems to avoid him
The robotic creature turns, sensing items that are yet to its. It skitters over, rubbing its hands together "Good day my good friend, perchance may I take a looooook?"
'Why, you here to buy? If so, yeah. If no, then clear off'
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA No, I am a collector! I intend to take all of these items I find and add them to my massive collection!!" They throw up their arms dramatically, "I can give you a rat, everyone loves rats! Perhaps a bottle caps? I got all kinds!"

Someone's rummaging in the trash can. They seem to be pretty into it, considering how you can only see their legs.
A hand grips around a ankle and pulls them up "Excuse me, you are taking all the good bits my good lad!"
You pull up a scrawny kid with his arms full of scrap metal. his floppy blonde mohawk looks even stupider upside-down, and his overall straps are uneven. "Finders keepers!"
"Oh please child, I want none of that! There are better items than that you know?" They dust the child off and set them down
