[ Lucy digs in deeper, but with her cyberdeck not at full power, there's not a lot she can do. From what she can tell, she's not the only one suffering this problem: other Otherworlders with magic or tech are at low power, too. It's better than the nothing they had when they first arrived, but still.
It means that all she can do is scrabble at the outside of this thing's code, only barely managing to sink mental claws in. ]
No. I don't think I can.
[ Lucy sounds frustrated, gritting the words out, hunched over, shoulders curled. ]
But I can give you a clear shot to kill it.
[ It's not what Lucy wanted to do. She's got a mental snapshot of its code, so she'll be able to study it later, but she wanted to pull this thing's code apart and... take out the bad stuff, if she could. See if she could uncorrupt them. But if she forces this any harder she might give herself brain damage. Instead, what she can do is this: closing her eyes, and yanking on a thread of movement protocols. As a blood vessel in her nose bursts and drips over her lip, the Fractured monstrosity grinds to a halt, hair falling limply to the ground, one arm raised, frozen in the motion of going to strike Bishop. ]
