The tears start coming before Pidge's screech, trickling silently down his face and then --
BLAM! BLAM!
They don't know that head shots really kill them yet, but they do seem to keep them down and that means...
His screaming is almost as shrill as Pidge's when Wash picks him up like a football and starts sprinting.
"Why did you do that? Why did you do that?!"
But he can hear them all coming and that means they might get pinned down again, it means Wash might get infected like Pidge, because his powers aren't really shield-like, either, so Dipper looks around, sees the glass wall of a lab and the windows beyond, and before any of the mechanoforms have a chance to crowd in, he sweeps Wash up in telekinetic energy and smashes through the lab wall and then the window, getting them outside. The Roboticans and Coluans have already formed a solid defense line to back up the teams going in to clear the lab and he flies them over the line.
Zombies start pouring out through the window, too, chasing him and Wash, but it turns out to be helpful. The zombies pour out of the window like lemmings over a cliff, right into the sights of the Robotican turrets, which make quick work of them.
Safely on the other side of the line, with a wall of turrets and soldiers between them and the lab, Dipper releases his telekinetic grip on Wash. His eyes are glowing blue and his expression is wild. With tendrils of teke spiraling around him, he rounds on Wash, pounding his fists uselessly against the chestplate of his armor, one of them still gripping Pidge's broken glasses. He's holding onto them so tight that the broken lenses are gouging his palm.
"Why did you do that?!" he screams. "What if someone finds a cure, what if we could've changed her back?!"
