Quickly checking herself, she was relieved to find her gun and battle knife still on her. After checking and reloading the clip, she turned towards the familiar glow down the hall: Chaos' crystal, she already knew. She moved toward it.
Having recently paid a worthwhile visit to Chaos' shop, Jill was glad, ironically enough, to be sporting her battlesuit in its original condition: the cuts and tears and bloodstains were gone, even the zipper fixed to once again allow her to cover her chest up to the base of her throat.

He glared, his eyes glowing ominously in the dim light, accompanied by a high pitched whine. "You have two choices here. Die, or get to the front."

Jill didn't bother pointing out the contradiction. She doubted an ego that big would listen.
"Then for your sake, I'll tell you that I don't go down without a fight," she replied in the same steady calm, utterly unfazed by the threat. "Back. Off."
