Also, Shewson has been trying to SENSE your abilities again; having a finger in his mind seems . . . . maybe not probably dangerous, but potentially dangerous.You go ahead and do that. You now have one INNATE SLOT free.

"Not tricked." You drop Shewson, and all three shy away from the muzzle of your 1911. "These are still hostages we needed to save. And still need to save. These golems-FAMILIARS- WHATEVER- are just in the way of that. Knowing my RATS, the rest of the bandits are coming out of other EXITS from this MINE right now. We can't ELIMINATE THEM TO A MAN but bets are they'll organize NEARBY a little later."
"So what do we do?"
"You three are wounded, but you can still move. There are two rooms like this one that are already CLEARED. One's back the way you came and another's a little down and clockwise. See if you can get everyone there MOVING. HAUL ASS, gentlemen, the GINNIE'S here and he's NOT HAPPY."
They start to hobble off, perhaps a bit urgently.
"... You're not really that scary at all, are you, Mister Arlington?" Alice asks.
"Stow it, Alice, I'm working." [FREE POINT SPENT: Area Scanning. 7 of 13 remaining.] Well, disregarding the minds you already know about... Hm... Some are moving away, there are a few that are closely arranged in sixes- probably like ALICE's setup- and one more that's a star of TWELVE, you're certain. They're back the way you came and counter-clockwise. Overall, it seems like there are about 30 HOSTAGES REMAINING, not counting the ones you've gotten out of HARM'S WAY. "How fast can you disable those BOMB TRAPS he had you in?"
"Fast enough." She slowly STOPS GLOWING BLACK and LOSES THE ARMOR. "There another GOLEM CAMP we need to worry about?"
"If I told you where the other three such setups were, would you save them?"
"Yes."
... Well, now the question is, do you trust ALICE to KEEP HER WORD?
