Arachnid Submission

The other door to the computer bank is blocked off, too? Damn it! I will find these thieving motherfuckers if it's the last thing I do.


It looks like the fastest way to the other side of the cave-in would be to go through this central..."Lanturn Coil room".


JESS:   Do you have a plan?


TOM:   Go through here and fuck some shit up.  There's no other way through to the other side.


JESS:   Alright...


TOM:   I just wonder why this room needs to be so big on the map--


Dear lord above...this place is massive!


I looks like this Tesla coil fires off excess electricity, get transmitted through this big metal cage around it into some sort of transformer...but what's powering the coil?


A...a Lanturn? A single Lanturn is powering the entirety of the Cythos region?! My god, that's irresponsible!

Well, there's a walkway around the outside of the room leading up, and there's a walkway that sort of skirts the Lanturn tank and the coil.  What do we want to do?


KEVIN:   Arturo and I will head along the outside.  We'll scout the neighboring rooms and clear out any threats so we don't get flanked.


TOM:   Okay.  Jess and I will head up the side of the coil.


JESS:   Oh, will we now?


TOM:   It'll be fine.  I'm a professional.



(POV: Jotlik, a.k.a. GrrzapBrrzap)


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   What is this? Where am I? Who are you? What is the matter--?


TYNAMO:   Don't test me, man! I'll shock your face off!


JOLTIK:   Chill out, dude.  We just need to know if you are a problem.


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   Citizens of the Lightning-Box, we mean you no harm! Here, I expose my underbelly in a sign of arachnid submission--


TYNAMO:   You talk funny.  I don't like it.


NETWORK:   I won't let you be mean to GrrzapBrrzap.


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   GzzBzz! You've come!


NETWORK:   Let him go--


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   Wait! They must understand we are no threat! There are dark foxes of shadow that mean you harm! I...I ate one.


JOLTIK:   ...(shoots webbing at Network)


NETWORK:   WE DON'T WANT TO FIGHT! (Screech)


JOLTIK:   THEN LET US TEST YOU!

(The Joltik bites the Tynamo, the Tynamo whacks the Joltik with its tail)


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   They are unbalanced, GzzBzz.  Assume the position as I have so that they may be placated--

(Network launches a Shock Wave at the Joltik)


JOLTIK:   Retreat!


TYNAMO:   I'll fuck them up!


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   Ah, they retreat in fear! We have gained our--



GRRZAPBRRZAP:   I am still tied by their silken tether! I will show no resistance and willingness to comply with their ways!


NETWORK:   Get back here!


JOLTIK:   Why won't your comrade let us test him?


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   His master is one who thrives in conflict.  He knows not of submission!


TYNAMO:   Then he's coming with us--


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   Mud?! From whence did this mud come from--


GRRZAPBRRZAP:   GZZBZZ!!!! NO!!!!!


JOLTIK:   The Lady will know what to do with him.
