Part 46
The alien just shrugged off my blaster shots when I fought with him in the reactor. But this gun is much more powerful.
Still, it doesn't seem to slow him down much.
Back to the old method. He's still a tough bastard, but the fall he took back in the reactor has clearly weakened him.
"When will you die, damn you!?"
He's still remarkably strong though. He manages to back me into a corner, and my blaster is hardly scratching him.
He's got me now. He slaps aside my attempt at a punch, hitting me hard in the face with his huge metallic arms. While I'm still reeling from the blow, he suddenly turns and starts running away.
A bit stunned still, I take off after him, not really knowing what else to do. It'd be nice to settle this once and for all.
When I finally catch up with him, he's used some device on his arm to activate the tunnel next to where Escher is laying unconscious. The tunnel sucks him up like a vaccum and promptly shuts itself off. Looks like I won't be able to follow him unless I get my hands on the device to activate the tube.
I'm sure I haven't seen the last of him though.
