บท 635: Brutish
In response to the auto-turrets firing at him, he just raises his arms and activates the shield-projectors hidden in his wrist plates. The shield is big enough to encompass the front of his body, while also preventing any stray bullets from flying towards the Supermutants behind him.
The shield ripples like water with each shot that hits it, but maintains its strength the entire duration it takes to finally reach the entrance. Fortunately, the Auto-Turrets count as enemies, allowing Afton's Perks to activate.
[John Wick Style is in effect]
He isn't sure how strong the entrance will actually be, so to boost his strength further, he has Nyx apply another of his inventions... A small syringe filled with trace amounts of pure uranium. The material is injected into his leg, causing damage just from its presence alone, while also irradiating his body. When you add the additional chem cocktail contained within the sample, Afton's strength rockets to levels he'd never reached before.
[Grit is in effect]
[Atomic!] is in effect]
He doesn't have time to check his status, but he was absolutely sure he'd reached at least twenty Strength at this point! A laugh escapes his mouth as he revels in the feeling of absolute power, deactivating the shield and allowing the bullets to pepper his armour as he strolls over to the metal entrance of the facility.
He forces his fingers into the gaps of the door, bending the metal from the sheer force of his actions. He then uses his plant arm to gain leverage over the systems keeping the door locked, and once done, he wrenches the doors open with strength alone, slowly overpowering the defences.
Metal and mechanics squeal as he breaks them, forcing them open... And with one last roar, he slams the entrance open, causing the lights of the facility to flicker due to how many internal electronics that he'd broken from that simple act alone.
Inside, he's greeted by a long hall wall with stairs at the end of it... The hallway was filled with upturned desks that were used as cover by the hundreds of NCR troopers, all of which were pointing their weapons at him.
"Er, you guys know where the toilet is-" Afton starts but has to shield himself as the group opens fire on him, the shield deflecting them and causing them to ricochet right back down the hallway.
*DAGAGAGAGAGAGAG!*
*PING!PING!PING!PING!PING!!!*
Soon enough the gunfire ends, the soldiers realising that they were literally just shooting at themselves while Afton's shield was active.
Seeing the soldiers wait for his shield to wane, Afton just tosses a smoke grenade at them, using his Stealthboy once the soldier's vision is obscured... Of course, they all begin firing through the smoke, but he just ignores it and walks past them, allowing the Supermutants to deal with them.
While Afton was invisibly searching through the facility, Marcus and the other mutants had finally arrived at the entrance and were all taking cover from the soldiers after destroying the auto-turrets.
Marcus begins to plot out how they'll assault the trooper's defensive positions, but is cut short when some stray Nightkin randomly charge them. A barrage of bullets crash into them, bouncing off of their chainmail and helmets, but occasionally wounding their limbs were the armour wasn't as thick.
Marcus just shakes his in exasperation and charges with them, the hundreds of supermutants all sprinting down the hallway like a green and blue wave of death.
Not a single mutant is lost in the assault, and only a couple were injured in any meaningful way... Though, their unique biology would have them healing from their bullets wounds in a couple days or so anyway.
Elsewhere :
While Marcus and the mutants were drawing all the soldiers attention, he continues to creep through the facility checking each and every room for Doctor Usanagi, and the man called Macka Bree, whose supposed to be responsible for his father's condition.
He wanted to capture the man alive so he could get some payback with a side order of torture, but he also needed the man's expertise to help return his father to normal... If that wasn't possible, well, maybe having his father eat the man's flesh would bring him back to normal...
Unfortunately, he hadn't yet found the man. The only people he'd actually encountered(other than the few NCR troopers) had been the scientists that were hiding in their respective laboratories... Afton wasn't sure what do to with them to be honest... He could leave them here, which would result in the Supermutants killing them, or he could try and capture them, all while possibly revealing his presence in the facility...
On that subject, he also needed to figure out if there was a self destruct button for this facility or not... Most bunkers had it, especially the ones that kept confidential information and research. Urgh, just another thing to add to the list then.
He ignores the scientists and continues looking around, electing to try find Usanagi, Macka, or the self destruct button before anything else.
The sound of gunfire and screaming gets louder as the Supermutants reach the first level of the facility, pushing Afton to search faster than his earlier more cautious pace. The facility itself is a sprawling maze without signage of where you actually are...
Afton is eventually forced to hack into a terminal simply to find where the fuck is he. Obviously the scientist nearby didn't take kindly to that, forcing him to paint the floor and walls with the man's brain in response.
Once hacked into the terminals database, he found that he's on the first floor out of three, which each led deeper underground than the last... The third is where the test subjects were supposedly kept... And! There wasn't a self-destruct switch anywhere... Apparently... Hopefully?

บท 636: Saviour!...?
Now that Afton had a good idea of where he was, and where everything else should be, he quickly starts headed to the next floor... One thing he was still unsure about however was the location of Doctor Usanagi... He had noticed one thing though, this place had a Cybernetics laboratory down on the second floor, which he where he'd start looking.
He passes by the staircase just as a group of Supermutants run past chasing some screaming scientists... Afton just shakes his head and descends the stairs, ending up in a darker-looking floor compared to the previous one... Either they were trying to save energy, or the experiments down here required limited light exposure? Afton wasn't sure, and the database hadn't illuminated anything on the subject... Perhaps information on specific research was on a separate system?
Afton heads directly for the Cybernetics lab and is quickly able to find it after memorizing the general locations stated on the database. It didn't look like much though, a reinforced door with an observation window that allowed you to view the experiments going on within. There were also two NCR troopers guarding the entrance, most likely just jailers to prevent Usanagi's escape.
Through the observation window, he could see Usanagi installing some sort of Cybernetic implant into... A strange creature... It was thin with grey skin, and a gaunt-looking figure. Its bones were clearly visible, along with the implants that were clearly pronounced through the skin...
Its face was... Well. Not a face. All it had were two completely white eyes and a mouth completely stripped clean of flesh... No lips were present, only a gaping maw with many deadly looking dagger-like teeth... "The hell is the mouth of Sauron doing here?" Afton whispers to himself as he examines it, wondering how strong it was compared to Mr X.
"Whelp, here goes nothing. please not more spores, please not more spores." he whispers to himself in hopes of not accidentally unleashing another world-ending monster.
He walks up to the two troopers guarding the doors before slamming their heads together hard enough to mulch their skulls and brains into soup. He then throws a hard kick at the door, completely knocking it off of its hinges before walking in.
"Yo, Doc, you mind if I come without an appointment? Or should I come back later?" he asks as he takes his helmet off.
"Afton?... It's about time! How long have I been trapped here helping these monsters with their sick experiments!?" she exclaims while prodding him in his armoured chest.
"I-er... What? Shouldn't you be grateful that I'm saving you or something, like, princess style?" he retorts in confusion.
"I was only captured because of you in the first place!"
Afton shrugs at her anger, "I didn't know they would do that, and we made a fair trade. It wasn't as if you didn't know how dangerous shit involving me is."
"Fair trade? Most would call that extortion... Sexual extortion!" she retorts with crossed arms.
Afton scoffs, "Hey, you're the one who asked, I only give you the price. You didn't exactly object to it either!" he states but shakes his head once he remembers where he is, "Look, we can argue about this later once we've escaped this place... Before that though, what the fuck is that thing." he gestures at the creature she had been operating on.
"I don't know, one of the many creatures the people down here have made... There are hundreds of them all stored on the third floor, and they've made me install Cybernetic implants in most of them." she gravely states.
Afton scratches his head with frown, "And how strong do you think they are? Are they as dangerous as, say, the spores?"
She shakes her head at his question, "They are artificial creatures with no ability to procreate, they are not a threat to the world. But. They are definitely a threat to us... I once saw one tear a troopers arms off with sheer strength alone!"
"Uh huh... So, like, Supermutant level?" he asks and she nods, getting a relieved sigh out of him.
"What?" she asks, finding his behaviour strange.
He just smiles mirthfully, "We'll be fine. I did bring an army of Supermutants when I invaded this place... Hey, do you know where Macka Bree is?" he suddenly asks, ignoring her indignant sputtering.
She nods, "He's either in his room, the surveillance room, or his laboratory... Considering the racket you've made upstairs, I'd say either of the latter two." she explains.
He nods and puts his helmet back on, "Follow me, I'll leave you with Marcus while I see to Macka... I hope you haven't got anything against Supermutants." he says as he begins dragging her to the staircase where Marcus should be arriving soon enough. But, not before slitting the throat of the creature she had just been operating on...
After depositing the incredibly worried-looking Usanagi with Marcus, Afton descends the stairs headed to the third floor. The further down the steps he walks, the darker the place actually becomes... Once he reaches the bottom, he finds himself in a completely pitch black hallway...
The only reason he was able to see anything was due to the night vision of his helmet... Unfortunately, he'd not bothered to have such a thing installed in the Supermutants gear, making it incredibly impractical for them to actually come down here...
Still, he'd bet that the Nightkin would charge down here anyway... Those guys were fuckin' crazy.
*Grrroooowwwll!*
...
Afton glances around to look for the origin of the sound, but doesn't see anything in the hallway... "Yeah, not creepy at all... Fuck, there's going to be face huggers down here or something, isn't there?" he mutters to himself as he slowly walks through the place.
