It took about half an hour to find another Bouncer. The Bouncer wasn't with a Little Sister yet. Julie didn't let it bother her and threw a Security Command polyp at it. The Bouncer walked on, not bothered by the glowing blue substance covering it.
And then a turret fired at him. The Bouncer roared and smashed the turret.
Julie didn't know why she didn't think that would happen. Well, at least she wouldn't have to worry about getting spotted by security.
Julie followed the Bouncer for a while, occasionally lobbing another polyp if the glow started to fade. By the time it finally summoned a Little Sister, steam was hissing out of ruptured seams, along with a sickly-smelling yellow liquid. Julie decided to try and keep using Security Command for a little while. It was boring, but it worked. Eventually, the security took its toll, and the Bouncer finally collapsed and died.
Julie sighed and walked over to the sobbing Little Sister, curing her and picking her up. "M-Mister B…"
"I know. I'm sorry," said Julie. She really was. Julie backtracked to a vent she'd seen before and let the Little Sister crawl into it, still sniffling.
Even though it was the right thing to do, Julie felt awful about what she'd just done. She sighed and made her way back to the Big Daddy to scavenge his body for anything useful.
