"Security's not your programming, pal." Kit replies with a great sigh as she hops back a few feet from the robot and fires a blast of electricity at it.
"Damned broken thing. Five credits says its got more mold in its insides?"
She scoffs and shakes her head. "Whoever heard of mold reprogramming robots, anyway? I tell ya', the galaxy these days!"
Bronen will move Kit behind him. Dronen will defense.
She then gets guided behind Bro. She continues to watch the robot warily from behind and between Bro's legs.
Snorri hefts his axe, ready to repel the robot's counter attack if it comes.
Kit initiates combat and hits the robot with her electricity.
Initiative: Snorri , Kit , Bronen , Khall , Schultz , Vag Robot
Round 1
Vag, Khall, Bronen then robot...
Vagoru moves up to within 10' of the robot and then attacks with his Doshko.
Vag hits and so does Bronen
Khall shoots at the robot hit causing damage
The four spot lights shine on Kit, Bronen, Vag and Khall
It then drives at Kit hit ramming you for of concussive damage
Rest
It then drives at Kit 1d20+4 hit ramming you for 3d8+5 of concussive damage
Vagoru swings wildly as the robot speeds away, but the robot is already out of his reach. He moves to chase it.
"Come back here!" he shouts. He swings at it with his doshko as soon as he is within reach.
AOO 25% Vag is too blinded by the light to hit the target.
Rest
Snorri moves up to attack the same robot as Vagoru
Kit lets out a grunt of pain as the murderous robot slams into her. Then she spits a gob of blood on the floor.
"Uh, why'd I even get up this morning?"
She groans, then moves up to the robot and clicks the buttons on her pulse gauntlet. It crackles with electricity, then lets out a surge of power.
Gill
Gill fires her pistol miss
Through the combination of the entire group you are able to destroy the robot.
Combat Over
Snorri tosses a ration bar at kit. "Have a break, you look terrible." He gives her a teasing sneer before indulging in leaning against a wall.
Kit catches the bar, plops down onto the floor and eats it.
The AI says, "Why did you attack that robot?"
Snorri makes vulgar gestures at the nearest representation of the AI like a camera or monitor as he is even less inclined to engage with it's half baked programming today.
Kit scoffs. "Because it said it would destroy me." She shakes her head and rolls her eyes. "A better question is why your engineering bots are trying to murder your guests."
Kit pulls herself up to standing and shakes her head. She mutters under her breath, "Stupid robots."
Snorri affects a very bad imitation of the AI's voice "The security robots are not under my control, blah blah I'm definitely not malfunctioning. By the way press the down button and I'll shoot you into space."
Snorri looks at Kit. "I think I'm becoming a Technomancer. Let's move out."
Bronen and Dronen move into positions flanking Kit, obviously concerned for her well being.
Kit laughs at Snorri's antics, then smiles up at her big pals.
"Alright, let's get moving. Time won't make it any better."
After a moment she grumbles, "But, I bet a stiff drink would..."
Looking at Vagoru, Kit asks, "Hey Vyun! Got any of that nasty zohaq stuff left?"
You make your way through the rest of Alpha sector on your way to Zeta sector.
The AI starts to describe the sector: "Each of the divisions of this section is dedicated to manufacturing machines that make equipment needed for everything from durable goods to foodstuffs, clothing, and other necessities used for both colonization and the running of the station. The only items not made here are robots and vehicles.
The buildings come in a variety of shapes, but all have automated assembly lines, and most have adjoining warehouses for finished products, as well as short-term supplies of raw materials. Power plants are also found throughout this sector, as the power demands of this area will be substantial when colonization demands their full capacity. All of these facilities are serviced by robots, with only occasional and minimal attention being required by humans, and only then to repair or respond to unforeseen problems and conditions.
The thoroughfares between the buildings in this area are broad and flat, measuring no less than 60 feet in width to allow for the easy passage of robotic delivery vehicles and attendants. There is little ornamentation, although each of the buildings in this sector carries a sign identifying it for me—the Zeta symbol followed by grid coordinates."
Kit looks around for anything dangerous or murderous....
If she thinks it's safe she looks around the supplies we need.
Bronen and Dronen stay close to Kit and search as well.
Snorri pitches in with the search.
Looking at Vagoru, Kit asks, "Hey Vyun! Got any of that nasty zohaq stuff left?"
Vagoru silently pulls out a small flask. He takes a quick sip and then passes it to Kit.
"See anything?"
As you study your surroundings in Zeta Sector you hear a distant crashing sound, almost like the sound of someone dropping a toolbox, or perhaps a dozen toolboxes. The sound is coming from somewhere to your left.
Snorri switches to his reaction cannon, he holds back from charging off however in case someone has any clever ideas. Otherwise he moves with the group.
Hearing the sound, Kit quickly chugs down a few gulps of Vyun's moonshine, then passes the flask back to him.
"Ahh!" she exclaims, managing not to cough this time from the potent flavour.
Then she cracks her neck this way and that and gives her shoulders a shake.
"Okay! I'm ready to walk into another death trap... Here we go! We've got this..."
She seems to be trying to psyche herself up.
"Ah, screw it."
Kit heads towards the sound like an idiot.
Bronen reaches out his big hand to ask Kit to wait but she is already off again. Shaking his head, he sighs and moves to catch up and flank her with Dronen.
As the characters round a corner they will see that the door of one of the warehouses has burst open near the bottom.
A number of baseball-sized round objects litter the area outside of the rupture. The crashing noise continues at regular intervals, and you can now identify its source. A warehouse door has been pushed outwards, and tumbling through the opening thus created are a number of round, fistsized objects. The nearest lies thirty feet from where you stand.
Staying far back, Kit tries to figure out what the round objects are....
Bronen and Dronen adpot a combat ready stance and wait a few moments to see if the objects move. If not they slowly move forward and poke it with their spears.
Snorri doesn't point his heavy weapon at the spheres but is clearly ready to level the muzzle at them.
Bronen pokes one of the spheres until he sees that the round object is perfectly spherical, with a small red button near one end. Stenciled in small letters near the button is this warning: “Danger: HA Explosive”
"Oho! Demolitions gear. Well, if we want to blow that spaceship to bits, we know what to use. If there is enough of it."
After seeing the letters Bronen stops poking the sphere and moves to inspect them to see if they are what they say they are.
Bronen looks at the device not sure how it works, just by looking at it. He then picks up the object and you can see that the metal casing is of a new composite and the red light on top of it starts to flash.
Concerned, Bronen will throw it as far away as possible.
Bronen throws the sphere as far away as he can and it explodes five minutes later.
"Huh," Kit wonders aloud. "Falling on the floor didn't make it explode, but touching it did..?"
"Let's get the supplies and get back to the pod." she eventually remarks. "Before all those bombs decide to explode."
Bronen muses for a couple moments at Kit's words and then holds up a finger. Dronen clanks forward and picks one up. If it goes live like the last, Dronen will throw it where Bronen did.
Dronen picks up a sphere and nothing happens.
What looks like it could be a smile comes across Bronen's bovine features. Dronen then begins gathering up as many of the spheres as it can carry. Broken meanwhile continues musing.
"Keep them in one bag so you can ditch them quickly... we still don't know what set them off... a better idea would be to leave them."
