[ Oh! Okay! It hurt a lot, so obviously you should immediately do it again! That makes sense! (Never mind that that's exactly how Qubit reacted the first time his powers backfired, too. Do as I say, not as I do...)
He knows then that he can't let Carlisle keep doing this. It's echoing his own experience pretty hard - unexpected pain, a formerly reliable power turning against its wielder. Yesterday, though, he pushed his luck too far, incapacitated himself, and had to be bailed out by the very person he was trying to save. If this continues, he really might have to wheel Carlisle's corpse back to Anchor in a shopping cart. ]
Stop! It's not worth it!
[ He can take care of the last one himself. He stands and aims his gun into Eyeball's eyeball, but as he's trying to line up the shot - well, you know why you're not supposed to climb these shelves? Because they're not designed to support a human's weight. With a clang, the top shelf collapses under him.
He slides down as much as falls, and his legs get tangled with the zombie's, dragging them both to the floor. Eyeball ends up on top, pinning him, and goes straight to clawing at his radiation suit - though when it's only bringing one arm to bear, Qubit can kind of fend it off by interposing the gun - enough that he has time to wonder, why only one arm? And it's the same arm Carlisle injured...
Wait a second. Are they-? Okay "while pinned under an enraged zombie" is perhaps not the best time to analyze this, but it seems like, just maybe... ]
