"compromised" is such a magical word
GRABS YOU. GET BACK HERE.
okay. okay wait i can be normal about this one. I Can Be Normal. here are the prompts that came to mind.
Living weapon who failed a vital task in the middle of a mission, lifting a shaky, bloody hand to their earpiece and hearing the voice of their handler filter in. "I--I am compromised."
Alternatively: a living weapon who, somehow, is convinced to leave a mission with the hero's team, and their handler shrieks through static and spittle. "Compromised! Damn it all!"
Leader suddenly turns on their team while on the field, blank eyes and guided hand. Their friends scramble to wake them up from an unknown brainwashing spell, but end up scattering, running away, the new inexperienced second-in-command shouting, "Leader's been compromised, we need to retreat!"
Ooh... zombie apocalypses. Right when everything seems calm. "Hey, guys," Whumpee says, too casual to be safe. Heads swivel, eyes find the bite mark, hearts pound. "Sorry. I... think I've been compromised."
Robot whumpees with glitches and viruses infiltrating their system. "I am compromised, but f-functional. D-do not worry?" Especially with an unprepared teammate when they've all been scattered, doubly so if said teammate doesn't like Whumpee.
Missions where the team splits up, it goes wrong, and someone has to inform the rest of the group that one of the members is compromised--does that mean drugged? Restrained? Convinced to give up the mission? Hell if the team knows. Whumpee's just compromised.
