[Identification]: Cyber-Zombie – Threat: 32 – Properties: Diseased Blood

The woman had said that they were controlled, so I had to assume that the cameras were linked back to the controllers. They saw what their minion saw.

“If the first six can get in the lift,” the woman said.

“I don’t like this,” Borys said quietly in Polish. “Splitting us up like this …”

“Don’t worry about it,” I said in the same language. “Distract them for a moment, will you?”

I stepped out of the view of the cameras, zombie-cams included. It was easy enough with everyone milling about. Once I thought myself safe, I cast Invisibility and Phantasmal Emissary.

My companions figured out what I was doing. The survivors gave “me” a startled look. From their perspective, I’d disappeared and reappeared a little way away, like a slow teleport.

“Will that work on zombies?” Borys asked.

Zombies used some kind of life sense that was outside of Illusion Magic spells, at least any that I had.

“No, but it will work on cameras,” I said, then back in Latorran, I called out, “First six down are me, Sarothiel, Travis, Evan, Toby, and Rachel.”

“Why we gotta be first?” Travis asked. He was looking at my image, trying to figure out what had happened. Or he was wondering what happened to my aura of Charisma, which normally made him do whatever I wanted. I couldn’t use it through the Emissary.

“Just do it,” Borys rumbled. “She knows what she’s doing.”

Travis jumped and took two steps towards the lift before he scowled, realizing what had happened. Borys wasn’t a Charisma build, but just as I was able to overpower the survivors physically, Borys could overawe them with his relatively puny Charisma.

We all trooped into the elevator. At least everyone here knew what one was. Sarothiel might be an exception, but he was committed to the role of playing human. As long as the other humans didn’t ask questions, he wouldn’t.

We descended … not very far. The trip was longer than I would expect for one floor … maybe two or three. The doors opened up into a room … or was it a wide corridor? With no other options, we stepped into the room. There were four armored doors along the side walls and another elevator on the opposite wall. All around the room were vents, which suddenly started spewing white smoke.

“Gas!” Travis yelled panicking.

It filled the room quite quickly, blocking visibility. It worked quickly, too, the survivors dropping like flies. Sarothiel was unaffected, of course, but lay down quickly as soon as he realized what was going on.

I kicked him, gently. “Get over here,” I said, drawing him over to the corner. I used Static Image to cover us with a wall. It wouldn’t fool anyone in the room, but I thought it would be good enough for cameras. Especially with this white fog everywhere.

The lift headed back up, and the gas started to get sucked out of the same vents it had come in by.

“We’re ready for the next batch,” the woman said upstairs.
