Tessla throws the salt and... well, that's it, really. From the way the slug hisses in pain and then and starts humping its way faster to the kitchen, Teslaa is pretty sure she's found the slug's kryptonite.

Teslaa grabs all the salt she can find and starts tossing it onto the slug, running towards the kitchen as she does so to cut it off from its exit route.

Rocky realizes Teslaa's crazy plan is working and so joins in throwing salt at the slug.

Teslaa 'accidentally' blows salt at the RED's eyes in-between salting the slug.

"Fuck..." Rocky throws salt at Teslaa's direction in retaliation, aiming for what he thinks is the head.

Silence steps out of the kitchen. No machine empathy today it seems. He observes two of his fellow troubkeshooters fighting... "Hey. You are aware that attacking your superior is treason correct?" Silence asks Rocky.

"No, but is attacking a subordinate treason too?" Rocky shot back, "I don't believe throwing salt at this guy can be considered an attack unless he's a sissy." So much rules... this can be considered a food fight for crying out loud.

Silence rolls his eyes, "Well. At least we have the chef."

Speaking of that bastard, Silence drew his laser pistol and kept it trained on Boyye-R-D, "You have a lot to answer for. Don't feel too bad... we have great reeducation facilities, so talk. What were those and what was that?"

The slug is now sludge. That is to say, it has now broken down into a puddle of lifeless goo.

Silence examines Chef Rolling for Science + Brains and realizes that after receiving laser wounds in his legs and forehead and a knife stab wound, the chef is dead.

Everyone outside the restaurant sees several electric vehicles, decorated with 'Alpha Complex Police Force' pull up. A squad of men in grey riot gear with 'ACPF' stamped on the front in black lettering climb out and surround the restaurant.

One of the men, with a bull horn, announces "Attention! This the police! You're surrounded! Surrender now and we'll only use minimal police brutality!"

The squad proceeds to begin arresting everyone.

Do anyof you wish to try to escape or try to resist arrest?

Lanius proceeds to try and sidle inside...

...and succeeds. "Heyyy, sorry for not helping out, but right now we have bigger problems. Like the police."

Silence groans and opts to ping Friend Computer, but first, "Hey. Tessla, new guys, get up, we're getting out of here just in case."

"Hey Friend Computer, your police are here, we have found the trouble and shot it but we wish to avoid the police brutality, too much of it could cause us to lose our memories about the event and prevent us from informing you about the trouble we shot."

"-bing- Understood, Citizen Silence. You are hereby ordered to surrender to police to minimize the required level of brutality to bring you to police headquarters. -bing-"

Six police officers come into the restaurant, carrying riot shields and shock batons. Two go over to Silence, Two go over to Teslaa, and the last two advance toward Rocky.

"Thaaaaaat's not what I meant."

"Sorry Guys. Looks like it's the beating," Silence just let's the police arrest him, "Careful now. We're troubleshooters, if we sustain too many injuries we may forget the trouble we just shot," he informs the Police.

Fenix decides to surrender as well.

"What the Orange over there said. We were merely trying to control the situation, officers, which involved the chef."

Lanius stands by and wishes he could do something, wearing an expression summed up as "Goddamnit".

Integ was still standing in front of the restaurant, previously having been unable to enter it again due to a crowd of panicked citizens blocking the way. But now he was getting confused. Those blobbish things had only been hallucinations. So why was all the police here?

Teslaa looks at the riot police, then at the pile of goo and finally at poor Yotsuba. She tucks the remaining salt shakers into her uniform and starts sprinting towards the kitchen and leaping into the premade hole therein. (1+VIOLENCE+Athletics) 4,3,5,5,5

"Woah, don't leave me." Rocky was unsure of what to do so he just followed Teslaa.

"Right, sir." one of the officer says to Silence. "Just hold still." He reaches out and taps Silence lightly on the side of the head with his baton. There is a sharp 'crack' and the smell of ozone as the shock baton sends an electrical jolt through Silence, rendering him unconscious. The police officer's partner catches Silence's collapsing body, secures Silence's arms behind his back with a plastic zip-strip around Silence's wrists, and then drags Silence's body back to the police truck.

Before Fenix can try to change his mind, another officer has zap-stunned Fenix. Fenix's unconscious body is also restrained and placed in the police truck.

Two cops go over to Lanius and Integ, holding their shock batons ready. "Right... you two going to come quietly and wake up in the police station, or make it hard on us and wake up in medical?" one of them asks.

Rocky succeeds in following Teslaa down the sewage hole.

Underneath the restaurant, the sewer tunnel is about eight feet in diameter, with walkways on both sides of what is basically a river of waste water, human excrement, and various other noxious substances. There's a faint current going one way, but Tessla sees no sign of which way the escaping blobs went. ((Perception roll: Arcanea+perception+1 = 1d6, zero successes))

Rocky looks around ((Perception roll: Arcanea+Perception+1 = 4d6)) and spots a faint, eldritch glow at the downstream end of the tunnel.

You two faintly hear one of the cops comment "They're in shit creak without a paddle!"

"There's a glow at the end of the tunnel," Rocky says to Teslaa, "I have a bad feeling about this, but it's either that or the cops. I know we have our differences but if we fight now we might never come out alive so we'll have to work together at least for now."

Teslaa look Victor dead in the eyes and says, "Yeah, whatever." She starts trudging towards the direction indicated and uses all her Hypersenses, sans smell naturally, to get an idea what the glow is due to. "Glowy doom it is... I'm Teslaa-O-COI-2 by the way."

Teslaa shrugged, "Probably caught up in the usual shitstorm of idiocy."

Teslaa and Rocky turn the corner to discover...

What used to be four ordinary infrared citizens, now transformed into horrifying monsters. Their hair has fallen out, their skin is now a faded-yellow cover, and their fingernails and toenails have elongated into talons. Worse yet, they haven't showered in weeks but the stench rising from their diseased skins still smells better then the sewage their wading through.

Rocky doesn't notice anything else about the monsters and neither does Teslaa with her hyper senses.

Teslaa and Rocky, please roll a sanity check (roll 1d100 and compare to your current sanity score). If you roll higher then your current sanity, you run screaming in panic and lose 2d6 (two six sided dice) worth of sanity. If you roll at or under your sanity, you only lose 1d6 of sanity and can decide what to do.

Oh, and remember... the plot-rails are there for your safety!

Lost 6 sanity, leaving 58

Teslaa sees the horrifying former citizens and runs screaming in a girly fashion back towards the hole in the sewer.
