Pacifica smiled as she called up her feed, sending a short text to Greta she summoned the woman to her. Pulling up the camera's on the way to the lab she watched as Mcgucket worked, assisted by Candi. The door to her parlor opened as Greta entered.
Greta wore tactical armor reinforced with interlocking plates of ceramic body armor, her great strength allowing her to wear it with ease. Her firearm of choice was a KEL TECH KSG 12 gauge moded for Semi Automatic fire and a shortened stock. Greta used it as a pistol, the shape of it nestled nicely in her hands. She made her own rounds, the ingredients used Quarters and Rock Salt mixed with Iron fillings and into every shell she lovingly carved the norse rune for death. Her aforementioned meat hook hung off her belt along with a knife that was something between a sword breaker and marine kabar, on anyone else it would have been a short sword, on her a simple combat knife. She carried no other weapons. A tactical gas mask designed with a skull motif, completed the ensemble, standing at attention she awaited Pacifica's orders.
Pacifica pointed to the cane on her desk,. "Before the enemy gets any closer and you go hunting I need you to bring that to the lab. Dipper and all of you are going to need him to have it. Tell Mcgucket that he has my approval. He'll know what I'm talking about."
Greta nodded and picked up the cane, as she turned to go, Pacifica had one last thing to say.
"Please have fun out there, it isn't everyday that this happens. So make sure you make the most of it."
Greta flashed Pacifica a thumbs up and then exited the room. Pacifica smiled, Greta didn't like to talk while she was 'in the zone' said it distracted her. She turned her attention to tracking the intruders that had come for her Dipper. She giggled, the first puppy had just found it's first playmate. Flipping a switch she unleashed the Multibear. The puppy took one look and decided to attack. Pacifica cooed, she so loved to see the Multibear work, it was such a snuggly killing machine. The next two puppies found themselves trapped with the gnomes. Blanching, Pacifica shut the feed on that one, she really had no interest in seeing what the gnomes were about to do. Somethings even could make her sick. Another three found out what happened when you forgot to walk the Enochian through Norse tunes, Pacifica sniggered and made a note to give the grounds staff double their usual overtime pay. That only left the head bitch and one other puppy.
"Now where are you?"
Looking out into her web of cameras she located her student. The BITCH was back by were she had entered, making no move to further enter the grounds, just standing and observing her pets get torn apart by Pacifica's security system.
Pacifica snorted, "Watching the rest of the class for answers? Won't get a passing grade that way, teacher says class participation is a must!"
Turning to her other cameras she saw Greta leave the cane within Mcgucket's lab then exit. Grinning, Pacifica sent the location of the intruder directly to Greta's HUD. Turning to a camera the large woman flashed a thumbs up and went out into the darkness, moving very fast for someone so large.
"But wait..." Pacifica wondered, "Where is that other puppy"
Scanning the security cameras she saw hide nor hair of the errant scamp. Failing to find any trace of the animal, Pacifica began to expand her search.
"What's that?" Pacifica asked, spotting a growing pool of liquid coming from the security exit. The one Greta usually used...
"No" she uttered, shock and terror hitting her for the first time.
Rolling back the footage she watched as The Thing caught Greta from behind, watched it eviscerate the large woman. Pacifica stared stunned as the Thing hauled her friend back into the bushes, to slowly bleed out from her wounds. When next something came out of the bushes it wore Greta's gear.
"But that wasn't Greta." and she had just given the Thing all the information it would need to take back to it's Mistress.
Pacifica glanced back to the cameras as she saw that the Creature had reached it's Mistress. It's Mistress stroking it's head lovingly, the CUNT then looked directly at the camera and purred the words, "Sorry for the Tardy, Ms. Northwest, will see you in class real soon."
"She fucking bugged me? How?" Pacifica Gasped, "Dipper was transmitting a wireless signal, she must have hacked in that way. But that would mean.."
She needed to get to the lab and now. She was damn if she was going to lose anymore friends to to her own arrogance, It was time to stop playing. Disengagement herself from her security system, she opened a door only she knew of. A secret she had even kept from Dipper. It allowed her to access the spaces between the walls of the mansion and move without being seen. One of those ways led straight to Mcgucket's lab, bypassing all security. Grabbing a few things she might need, a lady always knew how to accessorize after all, she did what she should have done from the beginning and hit her panic button. She hated to call on her, but it was time to put such things aside. Her pride had killed Greta, it would not kill Dipper, Candi, and Mcgucket too.
"Now I just have to get to Mcgucket's Lab."
Descending into her mansion, Pacifica hoped she was not going to be too late, that her own apathetic melancholy hadn't doomed them all. She would face them all, she would face Dipper, she would face Mabel, she would hold herself accountable. Now though she needed to stand with them or they'd all die alone.
"The only way I will Die is by taking that Bitch and her pet down, if we all die, it will be together." Pacifica said as she ran into the darkened spaces, praying that she would get to the lab in time.
