I flew over the lake with my jetpack, as Mitchell swooped down and began to defend Katie from the incoming Mutants, while Suri and Seila were cutting down Mutants on either side of the lake, though they seemed to be going at a deliberately slower pace that they were capable of...oh, I get it, they want to delay converging upon the back end of the lake so that they don't have to deal with the Lubes.
Well, whatever, it's not a big deal to me...and I'm not particularly grossed out or anything either. I mean, it's not like I'm going to be directly touching them. To start with...I'll try slashing with my X-Blades. As I began to close in on the shore of the lake, I activated my X-Blades and spun myself down and across as I neared one of the Lubes, slashing at it as swiftly as I could.
