William and his Bursterfly and far more in synch than they were at the Elysian Grove. While William acts as vanguard, his Bursterfly becomes a nuisance to those who crash upon his shield. He's a lot stronger than his meagre frame would suggest - not that this seems to startle the techfauna which defend the control nodes.

"This reminds me of the undead demons back home," he mutters to himself. With a mighty shove, he manages to unbalance his techbear opponent and drives his spear right through the head. If this had been a flesh and blood creature, he would have gone for the heart. But as he doesn't know which part of the body contains its control unit, blinding it is the next best thing.

"Mindless, acting on certain stimuli--" He sidesteps a blind swipe from the bear and stabs his spear into the shoulder joint. One of the arms now dangles uselessly. "--And easy to predict once you understand how they act."

The only problem is that these things seem to repair themselves quite frequently. William sighs as the arm he just disabled begins to reattach itself. He just wants to disable ONE of these creatures and examine it... He's destroyed all the rest so far.

Not every techfauna is a generic wild animal though. William stares at the yellow thing that dashes past him sparking electricity. He could swear that its shape is familiar...

Despite his better judgement, he starts jogging after the thing. Inwardly, he's cry-laughing.

Don't tell me that there are capsule monsters here too!!

If you have another idea, feel free to message me and we can work something out.
