The shot explodes through Raphael’s facemask and into his left eye socket – dropping him!
As this goes on, Ethel rushes forward to grab Butch and drag him back out of the Loadmaster’s potential line of fire. As she does, her diagnostic scanner begins to alert once more - 'DANGEROUS BIOHAZARD: THREAT HIGH; UNKNOWN SMALLPOX'.
Up above, in the smoke-filled chaos of the ruined Royal Casino, Crystal is able to pull her knife and ram it into Doctor Benson’s back. The blade penetrates all the way through to protrude out the front of his chest – doing 13 Damage!
The Doctor groans, as he sinks to the floor Dying. Crystal is about to follow after Montoya, but thoughts of this man somehow pulling through after the fact, dog her mind. She has to stay to make sure the job is truly done right.
Taking her knife, she faces the Doctor and whispers to him the last thing he’ll ever hear – then expertly slides the knife into his heart (ironically, as he had once had a hand in teaching her how to do), twists it, and then yanks it free – killing him once and for all.
As this all transpires, Cillian slips past the man holding a machinegun on him and rushes down the stairs, where he runs into Captain Montoya (who literally looks like his clothes were just blown off him).
The man Cillian left at the top of the stairs does not follow – though the sound of ship engines coming down can be heard from the deck above. A moment later Cillian and Montoya can see a ship maneuvering in to land on the Promenade Deck - with another one or two hovering off the portside!
Meanwhile, in the Jacuzzi Suite, Gilbert tries to acrobatically roll out of his hover-round, across the floor, and to the mini bar. He is grossly out of shape from relying on his hover-round lately, and sprawls awkwardly in a heap on the flow – likely spraining his back in the process…
