“Total control” for Rooney? :>

Thank you for this prompt!

[Microstory Prompts]

Prompt: Total Control Warnings: None.

“Songbird….,” Rooney eyes the Chimera warily, that familiar sense of ‘oh fuck’ dread washing over them, “Please tell me you have total control over that goddamn thing.”

“Shepard, I…,” Her voice glitches out as the Chimera suddenly collapses, red electricity coursing through it. A shiver runs up Rooney’s spine, their feeling of dread intensifying.

“Get behind me,” Rooney orders Myers, placing themself between her and the Chimera, “Songbird, if you’re there…”

Songbird doesn’t answer; instead, the Chimera lurches to it’s feet, slightly unsteady. As the Chimera focuses on Rooney and Myers, they instantly recognize the menacing, red, glitchy static emitting from the robot. “GO! NOW!” Rooney shouts, the machine gun preparing to fire as both sprint towards the closest exit. Why the fuck was it always something from beyond the Blackwall?
