BIOHAZARDS AHEAD, PRECAUTIONS NEEDED.


Approaching the door, Uzi almost fell as the path ahead collapsed. Jumping on the walls, Uzi propelled herself towards the other side, landing on the cracked floor. Cautiously, she made her way to the door. It opened and led to a large room filled with books. The rows of bookcases were neatly placed, the books arranged by title and color.

Something skittered behind Uzi as she turned, the creature on her tail serving as a light source. It was a mechanical centipede, intricate metal plating covering the flesh within. Glowing, yellow liquid dripped from its jaw which Uzi recognized as nanite acid. 

Making no sound, Uzi stood still, dimming the lights on her visor and tail. The centipede moved slowly as if it was stacking something. Then it shrieked as a grey, mechanical foot stomped on it. It was a Guttertank. To Uzi's dismay, the bookcase she used as cover slowly shifted position, sliding into the ground, exposing her to the Guttertank.


Without delay, the Guttertank fired its rocket at her. Uzi rolled out of the way and stopped the projectile with her solver. Turning the missile to make it face the Guttertank, Uzi released it, sending it ramming into the Guttartank's side before exploding.


+ROCKET RETURN


As the Guttertank stumbled, Uzi fled deeper into the archive, hiding behind a tall pillar, readying her solver.

A piercing pain in her head made her wince, but she still stood on guard, thinking up a plan to finish that Guttertank in one move.


As the hulking machine turned the corner to face her, Uzi attempted to use [NULL]. It being a taxing command, Uzi briefly collapsed but stood up, yellow eyes shining.


[AMPLIFY]


Forming a sphere of repelling force, Uzi sent the Guttertank away, making it crash into the walls behind. Going for the kill, Uzi kept the Guttertank in place with her solver as she readied the reversal of her command.


[INVERSE]


A sphere of negative mass was born as Uzi sent it flying toward the anchored Guttertank. Both commands collided on top of it and an annihilating force was born, shredding everything in its path to nothingness.


[NULL]


With its upper body gone, The Guttertank slumped, breaking into bloody pieces. More footsteps could be heard and Uzi smiled, her hands forming the yellow symbol of the solver.
