RE1's teeth closed on empty air and the momentum of her spring continued to carry her forwards, past the point where her target had been, to land in the dust. She hissed, more greenish ichor dropping down from her front and landing on the cracked earth, before she rose to her feet and swung round to face the Conductor, ready to make another attempt-

Then she froze. 

With the strange sound that emanated from the equally strange figure, the mutant stopped in her tracks. Her arms dropped down to her sides, and RE1's expression, previously filled with a sort of feral anger, was replaced by a mix of worry and confusion that came from the fact that she was pretty certain what she was doing was entirely against her own interests, yet she was doing it anyway. An Erubescan experiment was never really designed to have the strongest will, and that was rather returning to haunt the creature, as she was powerless to fend off any kind of mental influence.
