Apparently deciding the fire escape wasn’t a great option,
They have failed her again.
Skitter climbed over the railing and leaped a half-story down to the pavement, putting a chain link fence and some accumulated trash bags between herself and Shadow Stalker.
Skitter: “None may enter my fortress of garbage!”
Moron. I can walk through that fence. She loaded her crossbow, aimed, and fired through the fence at the girl.
Ah, right. Good point.
A flash and spray of sparks erupted as the shot made contact with the fence. Skitter stumbled as the bolt hit her, but Shadow Stalker couldn’t see if it had done any damage.
Electric fence… Can you still walk through that?
No, what concerned her was the flash. She ignored the fact that Skitter was disappearing, entered her solid state and touched the side of her mask.
Lenses snapped into place, showing a blurry image of the alley in shades of dark green and black. The chain link fence, however, was lit up in a very light gray.
Tinkertech scanners, I suppose.
Similarly glowing, a wire was stapled to the brick of the building next to the fence, leading to a large, pale blob inside the building. A generator.
Yep. This thing’s electric. If you want to go through it, you might have to disable that wire.
Probably faster to just leap over it.
