They're stronger.  There's something different about the air around them as well.

Nemesis, please respond.

"They"? You mean the crabs? Is that what everyone is talking about?

[demonborntwice]

Yes...on top of their power, they're much more aggressive now, if that were even possible. Be careful.

[just_like_nii]

Oh, no... All right. Thank you very much.

[demonborntwice]

You're welcome, but do you need protection?

[squishyarms]

I'm not even sure I want to mess with them like this.

[demonborntwice]

Perhaps this would be a good time for that talk. Safety in numbers, after all. Shall I make my way over?

[squishyarms]

Don't get yourself hurt on the way here. They're a handful even for you.

I didn't let Death stop me. They won't either.

[acrossthememory]

Yeah, I noticed.

What do you need?

[ Private to Aya // Unhackable. ]

[demonborntwice]

The air around them tastes like you.

[acrossthememory]

How... do you mean?

[ Private to Naoki // Unhackable. ]

[demonborntwice]

Just a sense I got as I killed them. A flash of your aura, if you want to be esoteric.

I don't understand it myself.

[noliektinyspace]

Mutations, possibly.

[demonborntwice]

Oh, I don't doubt that. They're definitely far-removed from the crabs we fought before.

[noliektinyspace]

Do you think one of us is affecting them...?

[demonborntwice]

I'm not sure. I don't think so, otherwise they would have mutated many different ways much sooner.

[moralitychained]

Different how?

[demonborntwice]

Stronger. Faster. Tougher. More aggressive. I would wager that even professionals like us would need to be very very cautious.
