Xix shrugs and tags along as Draka gives her the silent treatment. She looks back and forth between her and Zane. "Does that mean she likes me?" She asks with a smile.
This rectangular chamber has various illuminated panels and monitors along its walls. Some show what looks like the schematics of the entire structure, while others seem to show the interior of the planet. In the latter images, squads of robots skitter along the technology-studded walls of a massive tunnel. A circular platform stands in the center of the room, projecting a hologram of a tall figure clad in white robes. The figure gestures at the various screens, seemingly attempting to direct the robots in their tasks.
The hologram turns and speaks in common. “Oh, thank the First Cause! I thought I was going to be stuck with these lunatics forever. You are here to help, yes?”
Depends on your definition of "Help". What is YOUR goal in all this?
Abe couldn't have put it better himself. He keeps his weapon steady on the hologram, remembering the one that chased them from a distant complex not so long ago. They could be feisty.
Vetch freezes, uncertain what to make of things.
Int check - first cause
What the freak is the First Cause?
”Well...we mostly want to destroy the device...if we can’t make it do...uh....no, we want to destroy it. For sure,” Vetch says, knowing that it’s probably not possible to just have it kill goblins. Probably.
Um, you didn't answer the actual question.
Well, you gave an answer, but you didn't actually give a specific answer to The Zane's question.
So, here's another question: What is your name? Do you want to destroy the thing in the middle of the 12 .... uh. things that are planets but stay still.
That all made sense in Zane's mind.
"Well, that depends." Abe says cautiously to the hologram, "What are the robots doing?"

”Eltreth, huh? Any relation to a jerk named Osteth?” Dash prods, wondering who’s really on the side of order vs chaos.
He checks his mental list...
Order: himself, Abe, Zane, Draka
Chaos: the Cult of the Devourers, Vetch
He waits for Dash's questions to be answered before asking a question of his own.
"Ahhh, so you don't want to end the universe? Good. Very good. Uh, how can we help?"
Osteth? A jerk? Isn't that the cool hologram guy from the other room... he is the guy that said that another holo-dude named...... Eltreth
and the dim light bulb goes off.
Coach is baiting the guy. Coach knows this thing is our big enemy. He's gonna find out what is important for the hologram guy to get done and then do the opposite.
What's a good way to help? The Zane is good at destroying things.

"Ahhh, so you don't want to end the universe? Good. Very good. Uh, how can we help?"
"I mean, not *all* of the universe. If we can figure out a way to rid ourselves of goblins, that would be okay too," Vetch agrees, willing to help kill some robots, especially if they are wearing disco pants or think themselves as being captains or are repairing world-destroying megaguns.

"Osteth and I were both custodians here. That is until he locked me in that electronic prison." The hologram sneers. "But, nevermind that. [b]"You, You and You." He points to Abe, Vetch and Zane, who are willing to help. 'Take the controls there on the opposite side of the room. Guide the robots while I shut them down."
Wishing he had some hot chocolate to take the edge, Vetch is happy to come in and mash some buttons.
Computers (untrained) -
Abe is confused, and has been ever since finding another Ysoki down here. He's not sure what's going on. Isn't this supposed to be a bad guy? And we're helping him?
Then again, he thought the Ysoki was a bad woman, but that proved to be false. Maybe.
He does what he can to guide the robots.
(aid from Vetch ?)
Zane walks over to the joystick that should help control the droids he's been directed to "guide".
He looks at the stuff. Not wanting to understand how it works.
Not certain that the robot's will respond.
He then moves toward the big monitor Eltreth is working on.
Without warning, there's a huge Ultrathin Longsword called Boingo in Zane's hands and going straight into the computer. Zane aims for the guts of the console. Satisfied only if he gets maximum sparks and damage.
He doesn't want to mess with the droids. He wants to mess with the thing Elreth is working on. That's the prize.

Abe, Vetch and Zane begin to work the controls. Though for each one they reach out and grab at their hands seem to pass right through. The computer terminals and controls are all holograms. Eltreth smiles as he disappears into his platform out of sight. The entire room fills with electricity as sharp arcs fling to every corner. Dash is just happy he didn't go in as it surely would have fried each of his boards.

Vetch burns and crisps like a rat chewing through a power line, finally able to disengage himself after cooking well through.
”That f#*@er. I guess that answers that,” Vetch grouses and begins taking some time to look at his wounds.
Only after disengaging himself does he have regrets about anything, and notices a cool helmet and some old batteries. He tosses the helmet to Abe, and the batteries to Dash.
”Abe, maybe this sovereign helm will make you happy. And Dash, maybe these batteries will keep you from being lonely at night.”

Abe’s confusion clears as the bomb goes off, and he laughs - all is right with the world. ”OK, that makes sense.”
He grins as he catches the helmet and looks it over. ”I’ve already got a brain augmentation.” he tosses it to Captain Dash, ”You want control over your kin?”
He stands, wobbles a moment, and suggests a quick rest before proceeding. ”I’d like to, you know, clean up a little and get my hair to stop from standing on end.”
If possible, he’ll take ten minutes, spend a resolve, and restore his stamina.
Dash shakes his head at his burnt crew. "I wish I could say I told you so, but you numbskulls were too quick to leap into his trap."
He catches the helm tossed by Abe and passes the batteries over to the mechanic. "Oh.. hmm. Yes. I think this is the perfect tool for a perfect brain." He slides it over his head.
To the crew, "So we can assume whatever Eltreth said, the truth is probably the opposite. The next trap will likely be an ambush by more of those f*#%ing cultists. And since there's only one door left, I suggest everyone grab a grenade or two, and we bomb out the mad motherf*#%ers."

The group wobbles around, stunned from the electrical surges as Vetch's fur stands nearly on end. You toss around a few of the upgrades laying around the room.

Abe takes out a frag grenade, holding his rifle in his other hand. He's ready to toss as soon as the door is opened.
"Let's get them!"
Like Abe, Vetch takes 10 minutes to patch himself up. When others are ready, he'll hide back and ready to assault the room, pistol in hand.

Xix snaps her fingers across a portion of Vetch's fur that sizzle and smokes. "Smoking." She fans herself, giggling. Drawing grenades the group lines the remaining doorway.
The northern door of this chamber opens onto a raised platform that overlooks various panels alight and abuzz with digital activity. Screens flicker with schematics of the many pieces of technology that control the kishalee megastructure, while others show views of legions of small robots repairing and maintaining massive mechanisms. The shadows here move strangely, seemingly having a life of their own. A circular dais occupies a second raised platform in the eastern end of the room.
Standing in the chamber, ready for a fight are several more cultists as well as a shifting and incorporeal shade. As the door opens the shade already has a finger raised as a blackened ray leaps out at Zane.
"The Star-eaters will succeed! It is too late." The shade hisses.

Dash tosses an old battery into the air. It spins in place for a moment as he manipulates its final stores of power, then flies off into the room and explodes!

Dash tosses and old battery into the room. Spinning in place the battery's chemicals cause a violent chain reaction as the sides bulge and explode.
The exploding battery wounds most in the room, though the incorporeal undead are a bit more resistant to the spell. Shaking off the deafening blow the cultists open with a volley from their disintegration pistols.
Acid sizzles and pops across Zane's armor plating.

Draka grunts as she stomps into the hallway. "What is with everyone wanting to destroy everything?" Behind her Xix giggles. "Because it's fun to put it back together again!"
Draka's immense form fills most of the hallway and Zane's shots miss the cultists.
As the ray strikes Zane he looks a bit fatigued. Malice sends another blackish ray into Draka's body as she floats in the air.
Draka's shoulders slump as her eyes sag. She looks absolutely exhausted and near collapsing on the spot in need of sleep. "I am not sure how you found us, or what you plan on doing about the end of times, but it is too late.." The raspy voice echoes.

Vetch's spell brings one of the cultists as well as one of the shades to a low crawl. Abe goes to toss a grenade into the room and ends up fumbling it. Dropping it at his feet Abe kicks the grenade further away from him.
Bouncing off the wall the grenade explodes. Messalina fires dry ice built up in her system into one of the cultist's face. he screams, clawing at it, pulling away small bits of skin.
The spawn easily pass through the walls as they materialize beside you in the hallway. A pair of wispy hands claw out at Messalina.

Dash looks at the spawn trying to wreck Messalina and makes a dismissive gesture.
"Hey you! Why don't you go away somewhere and f*$% yourself?"
School necromancy (sense-dependent)
Casting Time 1 standard action
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one undead creature
Duration 1 day/level
Saving Throw Will negates, see text; Spell Resistance yes
This spell allows you a degree of control over an undead creature. If the target is intelligent, it perceives your words and actions favorably (treat its attitude as friendly). It will not attack you while the spell lasts. You can give the target suggestions, but you must succeed at an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn’t ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An intelligent commanded undead never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful suggestions, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing.
An unintelligent undead creature gets no saving throw against this spell. When you control a mindless being, you can communicate only basic commands, such as “Come here,” “Go there,” “Fight,” “Stand still,” and so on. Unintelligent undead won’t resist suicidal or obviously harmful orders.
Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the commanded undead (regardless of its Intelligence) breaks the spell. You command the undead creature by voice and it understands you, no matter what language you speak.

Xix watches in amazement she pulls out a small pistol and fires it at the cultists.
The bullet pierces the suit of the lead cultist and Xix frowns, staring at her pistol. Q-O get in there." Out of the room that Xix came from stomps a medium bipedal drone, carrying a tactical swoophammer. It stomps past into the room next to Draka. This by far seems to excite the ysoki even more.
Dash turns and gains complete control over one of the undead shade spawns as it seems to hover in the air.
Drawing their swords the cultists charge into melee, screaming gleefully!

Seeing that Draka and the strange robot-a-tron have the cultists bottlenecked.
His third eye looks to the left and sees enemies moving through the walls.
Zane pivots and shoots a bolt into the oncoming spawn that looks to hurt Vetch or Abe.

I also forgot to take my viscious damage last time. Here's the total hurt. only shooting once due to miss chance and unknown cover.

The energy from Zane's weapon continues to burn his hands as the laser blasts into the Spawn. Draka roars in the cultists face as she kicks back swinging her hammer at the man's skullcap.
Draka gets frustrated at the cramped conditions. She needs her elbow space. She begins to get very frustrated and tired. Malice digs deep into her mind. "Snap. Let into your inner urge."

One of the shades is thrown backwards as the force explosion shreds through the incorporeal beings. Abe flips on his haste circuit and begins laying down some covering fire for Messalina to retreat.
One of the spawns passes through the wall, following Dash's commands without question. Feeling the overwhelming surge coming from Vetch the orange-hued shade passes through the wall and reaches into Vetch's chest.
The shade seems trapped between the wall and some boxes making it easy for Vetch to avoid it's grasp.
Xix fires a shot right through the side of the cultists neck. The man smiles as he clamps his hand to the wound, stopping the bleeding long enough to keep fighting. "I see the Blood Gate!"
Dash continues to tell the incorporeal beings to piss off.
The undead stops in place and seems to barely shake off teh overwhelming urge to flee.
The cultists nasty neck wound rips open further and he nearly drops his sword.

Xix, you built that thing? Can it do anything or is it just a gizmo that was designed to hold a swoophammer straight up and down?
The Swoops ,which by the way is manufactured on Castrovel at some of the best manufacturing plants. The Zane's got a few collectors cards back on the Sunrise Maiden.
Zane, meanwhile shoots his blaster which was manufactured on Verces.
Vercite weapons can sometimes suck balls. Bubba is an exception to the norm.

Draka seems to have a lot of difficulty hitting the cultists as her hammer bounces off of the thicker armor. Concern comes over her face as her hands shake from exhaustion. "What happening?" Zane fires another powerful shot into the weakened cultists who only seems to get glee from the pain as several of his fingers are scorched free from his body.
Eltreth’s image manifests on the holographic dais as you battle Malice and her forces. "Remember your duty to the Devourer!" He frets. Malice only seems to glower at the holographic imagery. She holds her hand up where a dark, spinning disk made of pure force hums. She throws it at Draka.
The disc tears through Draka before ricocheting to Abe!
Then it turns, cutting into Dash's own circuitry.
Then spins through Xix's good hand.
Before coming to rest in Messalina's hull.
"Does that suffice enough for the Devourer?" The voice hisses.

Abe unhappy about the force disk, focuses on his tasks - thin out the mooks. He moves up to help Vetch, and attacks orange over his shoulder. He keeps the hast circuit humming for the movement.
Messalina meanwhile, tries to finish off the blue cultist.

Vetch fires point blank at the incorporeal being in front of him.
Vetch's acidic bursts into the creature seem to nearly kill the being again as it barely hangs on with ribbons of it's normal self. Seeming like wisps in the air.
Abe continues to fire on the advancing cultists but can't manage to line up a shot.
Vetch and Zane feel the acidic claws dig right through their armor and into their insides, feeling a bit like heartburn.

”Two can play at this game a$$hole!”
Dash points at Malice and unleashes magical force missiles.

Xix, you built that thing? Can it do anything or is it just a gizmo that was designed to hold a swoophammer straight up and down?
"Of course I did. Everything is built to be destroyed though. Amirite?" She winks at Vetch.
Malice chokes on her words a bit as a trio of force missiles batter into her. Xix pops another cap into the cultists thigh.
The pair of cultists hack and slash their sintered blades at Q-O as Xix smiles as the drone gets beat on.
Metallic plating is wrenched free as the jagged blades dig into the frame.

Back away from the spirit party people! Let it come to you!
Now Draka wait for The Zane.
And Zane moves a guarded step to be in front of Draka.
Drops his gun to the ground and from his hand springs a sword.
He brandishes it against the terribly haggard Cultist in blue. Swinging down with all his might.
Seeing that he obliterated the cultist into a pile of bone and sinew, he asks Draka to now spring to action.
Go Girl. You got a straight line to that disc throwing heebbie- jeebie.

Draka's hands continue to shake, infuriating the vesk even more as she hurls the weapon to the ground, ready to go in with her claws before The Zane steps in front of her and completely slices right through the cultists head. He has definitely gone to the blood gate.
Malice conjures up a second disc made of up dark energy around her and let's it fly.
The Zane quickly raises his sword, blocking the forcedisk as it clatters against the blade. Spatters of dark energy fling around it before dissipating.
