Then Dragon shut off the monitors, plunging us into absolute darkness.
I suppose she realized that the monitors were making things a little easier for the Undersiders.
I left the weapon with Imp and hurried over to the other guns, using the few bugs I had with me to ‘feel’ my way, sensing their locations and identifying anything I might trip over. The second gun, though it had looked more complete than any of the others, had two triggers on the front and two by the handle. I tried various combinations and got nowhere.
Huh. Dud, I guess, unless it’s just too complicated to use without knowing how.
The last gun was heavy. I hefted it with both hands, then told Regent and Imp to move aside as I aimed it at the door.
“against bigger foes”… no telling what the hell this might do.
Didn’t want to waste any first shots if this was going to take forever to recharge as well. The gun vibrated, rattled, and shuddered for a full five seconds before it fired. The shot didn’t cast any light, but it struck the door with enough force that the entire door buckled outward.
Damn, nice.
I hit the door with my shoulder, and the upper hinge came free. There was a light in the stairwell, shedding some meager light on us.

“We’re out.”
Well, out of that room, anyway. I’m sure Dragon has control over more than that.
