@John: The woman has some mass to her, probably from all the chrome she is sporting. The water is only ankle deep at this part of the sewer system, but you know that the rain that was threatening could certainly increase the water depth. And calling it water is really a bit misleading, given what is down here. It does not take long before your lower legs are coated in the filth and drek down here.

A few minutes after setting off, the woman’s body spasms somewhat violently as the stim patch wears off and her body takes additional damage. A quick of the biomonitor you attached to her lets you know that she is still alive, but that last bit certainly hurt her.
