The colliding and reflecting light was hard enough to look at, but combined with the insect eyes' kaleidoscopic properties, it was too much information to handle. The manikin immediately swallowed it's own eyes, depriving itself of that sense. It scanned it's immediate area, and realized that Alex was beside it again. The manikin wasn't sure why that blue life was always there, but decided to let it be. It focused it's sense further. In addition to the other lives... wait. The manikin noticed that one life was missing. It found that a little strange... Had that life been lost? The manikin decided it wasn't worth pondering and Continued to sense. In addition to the other lives, there were several others. However, they had a strange property to them, as if they weren't quite... whole, exactly. The manikin was very curious about this strange life, and decided to find one. It located the nearest one, and began running in it's direction. Periodically, it felt resistance. However, the resistance wasn't strong enough to delay the manikin for long, and gave way easily.
Alex got up when the Manikin did.
"Going somewhere?"
Without answering, the manikin charged towards a glass wall, and smashed through it. The manikin didn't stop, and the sound of glass walls shattering rang out constantly.
Alex was at a slight loss, but quickly regained his bearings, and chased after the Manikin.
