And from that massive, gaping wound, a slow, steady stream of thick oil continued to spill into the flooded platform.
Sebastian stopped at the edge of the severed neck. He crossed his arms and looked at the glowing golden loot icon hovering directly above the center of the massive head.

"Of course it's inside the brain," Sebastian groaned, his voice a distorted, metallic sigh through his cracked porcelain mask. "Why wouldn't it be? It couldn't just drop in a nice, neat little treasure chest. No, I have to go spelunking in a dead robot."
He didn't have time to complain further. Valerie's faint, flickering astral tether pulsed weakly in the back of his mind, a constant, terrifying reminder that her physical body was burning up on the Resurrection Altar back on Earth.
Sebastian didn't hesitate. He stepped out of the knee-deep fluid and hauled himself up onto the jagged, torn metal edge of the severed neck.
CLANG.
