The "people" in the Culture Tanks began convulsing violently, and the Nutrient Solution in the tubes boiled.
"Watch out!" Sasuke shouted.
Crack! Crack!
Hundreds of Culture Tanks shattered at once. The half-mechanical "corpses" tumbled out, their limbs twisting and transforming into claws and blades the instant they hit the ground.
