Main Mission Completed

Using his metalmancer talents, Jake seized control of the liquefied steel beneath him and his body suddenly began to sink as if he had just fallen into a lake. Vhoskaud, who didn't expect Jake to handle his machines in this way, was caught off guard and didn't have time to reorganize his defenses.

BAM!

Jake landed heavily on his intangible shield, but due to its properties he passed through it, reappearing on the other side to the robot's utmost relief. However, although he did not charge back, he steadied his position a few feet from the spherical force field, becoming the android's unwanted roommate.

"Get the fuck off of me!" Vhoskaud ranted from inside his bubble.

"No." Jake shushed him with a sneering smirk. "I feel great and my parents always told me that a guest should always honor his host."

"I didn't invite you!"
