What do you do?

Shake your head.

You shake your head.

"Now, you'll all be coming with me. I don't know if you're worth anything to anyone, but a girl with a robot arm has to be worth something, right? Ah, and the guy too I guess... Whoever that woman is in the lab coat is beautiful though. Oh, we'll get something for that one surely," the man talks on. "Lower your weapons. Now."

Carl takes a deep, long breath in through his nose. "Damn. Can't fault a guy for trying." His eyes are trained straight at his targets. Then, he brings his blaster up, steadies it with his other hand, and fires right over your shoulder. A second shot follows straight after. The bolts of energy collide perfectly with both men's hands, forcing them to drop their weapons to the ground and scream out in pain.

Dr. Freling takes the opportunity to gut-punch one of them, and then slap the other's head into the first one's shoulder. She drops them like two sacks of potatoes.

At the same time, you pivot, and aim your weapon straight towards the woman. However, as you do, she bolts. You still fire, but it merely singes through the metal railing, and she disappears from sight. Fortunately, you didn't miss per say. The criminal simply fled instead, which is probably for the best. You and Carlos had this handled so well, and so quickly, that she had no other choice.

With one final curse, the hologram disappears.

"Are you all right?" Dr. Freling hurries over to comfort you. As she does, your arm transforms back. "What an asshole that guy was."

Carlos raises up the brim of his cap and inspects you both. "Interesting," he mumbles. Then he looks to the face captive woman. "Guess you've been abandoned, huh? Well, you might've been working for that guy, but here. Let me help." After holstering his gun, he draws a knife and cuts her free.

The woman stands and stumbles back. With a furled brow, she looks like she's about to speak, but instead runs towards the doorway.

He chuckles as he approaches you. "C'mon. Let's get out of here. Good to see you made it, Diana. Sorry this was how we were fated to meet again, but the ship's all ready to go. Hopefully we can get out of here before the cops show up to see what happened."
