>"Hello again! There were some people butchering someone right in front of my door. I took care of it."
>"...Was kind of boring, for a duel. Didn't get to see any nice laser patterns or anything, they just shrieked in pain and keeled over pretty much immediately."
>You turn to face them. You notice that Alyssa has her bandaged sword raised and ready, while Archer is aiming his two doohickeys at you.
>You speak, and they stare blankly at you...
>...Well at least Archer does, it's kinda hard to tell with Alyssa with the whole blindfold thing...
>"I... see..." Archer speaks after a moment, eyeing the people you incapacitated, "...They're still alive...?"
>Alyssa merely sighs, "Well if they are we'll just have to finish them off..." she turns her head in your direction, "We'll take things from here... I suppose you deserve a thank you for softening them up, at least."
>Be proud of yourself. Utsuho stronk.
>You feel a sense of pride for how strong you are.
>"So.... what are these?"
>gesture at the things
>"Sweepers." Archer replies as he walks by.
>"They're one of the many nuisances we fight often." Alyssa explains, "Though we actually see them the least out of the typical ordeals that invade the facility around this time."
> "Do you guys usually take this long to fix a problem?"
>"Well usually the problem is spread out across the facility..." Archer answers before aiming his devices at one of your downed opponents and pressing something on them with his fingers.
>There is a loud banging noise as they discharge something too fast for you to see in sequence, and in an instant a cloud of what seems to be black and white butterflies appears over the target, seemingly slicing into it like a storm of flechettes.
>It ceases to move within moments.
>Meanwhile, Alyssa walks slowly down the hall, passing close to another one of the downed masked people. It twitches, causing its sickle to scrape against the floor, which Alyssa immediately reacts to by swinging her sword in its direction.
>Upon making contact with its flesh, the sword lets out a small pulse of pale greenish-blue light along with tiny arcs of similarly colored electricity, which crackle into the surrounding air and across the surface of her target, which also ceases to move.
>Proudly proclaim that you solved this incident.
>You proudly state that you solved the incident as the two of them make their way to the last target and finish it off together.
>Ask whether if you should have killed the youkai or left them unconscious.
>"Well, they are a threat to this facility, so killing them is preferred." Alyssa explains as she turns back to you, hesitating for a moment, "Though... should this ever happen again, and one of us or another employee of this facility is in the crossfire, then if you could I would like it if you didn't shoot to kill." she turns her head about, "Archer?"
>"Yes?" the man in question replies, causing Alyssa's head to focus in his direction.
>"Was that all of them?"
>Archer pulls out a device from his pocket and examines it, "They're mopping up the last Sweeper squad as we speak, but Big Bird has escaped again."
>"Great..."
