With a throwing motion, she whipped one section of the truck over her head, hurling it forward so it crashed through no less than five of my decoy swarms.
Damn, nice shot.
She did a tight spin as she stepped forward and made the second throw into a smooth continuation of the first.
She’s done this plenty of times before, clearly.
Her accuracy wasn’t quite so good for the second hit. It crashed through the water and hit the ground before it rolled out of my line of sight. It was only through my swarm that I felt it hit Amy and my decoy swarms.
Oof.
Wait a minute.
Did I ask Amy to get out of the water, earlier? In Brockton Bay??
I’m sorry for demanding the impossible, Amy. I meant getting up and away from the particular spot in the water you were at.
Most of the momentum was lost in the initial impact, and it didn’t pulverize her. She was in one piece, at least.
That’s good. A start.
In retrospect, that might have been intentional on Siberian’s part.
Don’t want to break her chewtoy that quickly!
Also, “in retrospect”… is that Taylor in the moment realizing that just long enough after the fact to call it “in retrospect”, or are we briefly dealing with the Taylor who’s telling the story of her past here?
“She’s advancing,” Tattletale reported.
“Yeah,” I replied, absently. I was focusing on getting my bugs on site. The bugs that had surrounded Amy and formed the decoys in her immediate vicinity were still there, and I gathered them into humanoid shapes again.
Fortunately, bugs are good at avoiding big things that are coming towards them.
I didn’t have line of sight to her, but I could feel them rising in what must have looked like a very human way.
Niice.
