"Swell Distraction" - Inflation (Patreon)

So I've been dipping into Marathon thanks to my sinister friend Snake, and obviously that immediately gave me story ideas. So have this story loosely inspired by the game, involving one runner turning another into a blimpy distraction so they can acquire more loot >:3

While looting an abandoned corporate site, Snake outclasses an opponent and uses them as a swollen distraction.
