Bloody hell. I definitely posted yesterday. I thought it weird that I didn't see any new updates.
Bleed at the top of Skorp's turn: DMG:2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
The party hits their stride with a series of hits that damage one robot a bit, and the other severely! Whatever their ancient construction, they truly seem able to withstand the electricity about the same as a living creature. Still, the black painted guardian is nearly destroyed. Despite the intensity of Skorp's countenance, it doesn't seem shaken either.
Now both closed to melee they use their integrated swords to try and cut down the Starfinders:
Blue v. Kyra:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 for DMG:2d10 + 8 ⇒ (9, 1) + 8 = 18 Black v. Skop:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 MISS
Round 4:
Skorpahlich (SP: 35/49): Hit
Deep Blue: Hit
Kyra (SP: 19/42): Hit
Robots: ATK
Swizzers (SP: 58/58): Go
Round 5:
Skorpahlich (SP: 35/49, 2d6 Bleed): Go
Deep Blue: Go
Kyra (SP: 19/42): Go
Robots: TBD
Swizzers (SP: 58/58): TBD
Can someone move my token 5 feet away from Black, please. My laptop died, and this company issued iPad I’m stuck with for the next month won’t let me edit Slides. :(
"You two have the situation under control--I'll help Kyra!"
Swizzers dashes across the room to help the group's android member.
I think Black is likely destroyed, so I'm going to move over to Blue and attack in melee with my neutriad flail. It may get cover as I'm attacking around the corner of a crate.

bleed:2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9
With a slight wince that he hides from anyone watching, Skorpahlich follows Officer Swizzers across the room. He flips thru the infinite realms beyond and fires one where a fireworks show is happening to open his next portal. The sound of non-stop explosions rocks the robot and anyone immediately nearby.
Infinite worlds level 2. DC 18 Fort save for half inside the pink zone for 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 sonic damage.
Full text: You create a hazard that deals damage each round, with a successful Fortitude save reducing the damage by half. A creature attempts this saving throw when it either enters or begins its turn in the area, and does not take damage from this effect more than once per round, even if they enter the area multiple times. On the first round, the hazard deals 1d4 damage per level of the spell slot expended. Each following round, reduce the result of each damage die by 1 (minimum 1 per die). You select the damage type each time you use this ability (from acid, bludgeoning, cold, electricity, fire, piercing, slashing, or sonic).
I wrote it this way cause just now there’s a Lunar New Year fireworks show going on outside my hotel in Qindao China even tho it’s only 10 AM.
Kyra swings as hard as she can. While the metal structure deflects some of the blade, it can't absorb all of it! The minor amount of fire doesn't seem to matter though.
Deep blue gets a better angle as the noose tightens.
Round 6:
Skorpahlich (SP: 15/49, 2d6 Bleed): Reality breaking
Deep Blue: Kill
Kyra (SP: 7/42): Miss
Robots: ATK
Swizzers (SP: 58/58): Go
REF:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Skorp's continued assault begins to take its toll. The robot now looks noticeably damaged. His own wounds still bleeding freely Bleed:2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8.
Morale a non-issue, the robot simply tries to slash Kyra's face:
Slash:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 for DMG:2d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1) + 10 = 17
Pronk it ... deactivate or whatever it is you mechanical morons do. Go DOWN! as she swings her scimitar at it.
abs:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24fire:2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10
It's easy to tell that the usual calm and unemotional cleric of Sarenrae is getting a tad upset ... a tad? Maybe a tad raised to the power of tad.

Noting how injured Kyra is, and feeling his own blood and bodily fluids seeping out, Skorpahlich asks the cleric from another time to consider stepping back. [b]”We can hardly afford to lose our only trained Engineer,”[/b) he advises her wryly.
more bleeding:2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
He keeps the same hole open to the deafening explosions beyond.
Swizzers and Deep Blue each miss with their shots. Kyra makes a hit though. The metal on metal clank drowned out by the reality tear.
REF:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 This time the robot dodges! It immediately counters Kyra:
Sword:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 for DMG:2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 8) + 10 = 23, cutting her across the neck! She falls to her wounds!
Boxes provide cover and blockage. Unsolicited DM advice, Deep Blue's DMG is really big, don't forget rules like Harrying Fire.
Round 8:
Swizzers (SP: 58/58): Go
Round 9:
Skorpahlich (SP: 15/49, 2d6 Bleed): Go
Deep Blue: Go
Kyra (HP: 0/46, RP: 5/6): Go
Robots: TBD
Swizzers (SP: 58/58): TBD

Kyra falls, and Skorpahlich just loses it. He doesn’t bother opening a hole to a parallel universe. Instead he opens a hole in his very own soul. And no one really wants to see what’s in there.
Dark tendrils of pure force lash out at the robot, whipping across Kyra’s prostrate form and rending the robot’s torso. Eerie screams of what sounds like multiple someones being tortured emanate from the blackness accompanied by Skorpahlich’s own voice screaming in an echo of their pain.
The wound in the mystic vesk’s side bleeds and seems to have even opened a bit more. As he takes a deep shuddering breath following the exertion of that casting, he draws his pistol with a shaking hand.
Soul surge, Rank 3. bleed:2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 plus 10 damage straight to HP.
Sorry, yeah I could have harried fire. Hadn’t want to use up my Rank 3 spells, but seems like we needed to go big..
It takes the whole party, but Skorp and Swizzers combine to finally bring the robot down. The agents who breath are short of breath. Rare does a firefight last more than a minute.
Eyes turn quickly to Kyra, who seems to be stabile at least.
These robots were certainly unique. [ooc]and an Engineering check will reveal more.

Skorpahlich pats his pockets looking for something which he apparently does not find. He shrugs it off and looks to Deep Blue. ”Can you heal her up that she may heal the rest of us?”
Looks like Skorp doesn’t have a healing serum. Oops.
Kyra comes back just in time for some good news! Will let you post to square away healing. I'm going to assume 1 round of bleeding before Skorp gets some help. DMG:2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9
Skorpahlich (SP: 6/49)
Deep Blue (SP: 48/48)
Kyra (HP: 2/46, RP: 5/6)
Swizzers (SP: 58/58)

”Yes, we got it,” Skorpahlich answers Kyra as he slowly moves to stand beside her. Though he hides the pain in his face, the trail of blood he’s leaving on the floor is pretty obvious.
”Would Seranrae be so kind as to grace one such as I with some healing?”
”Please?” he adds in a very uncharacteristically sheepish way when he realizes he’d forgotten the magic word.
Kyra’s got her work cut out for her now. Skorp needs a little healing to stop the bleed effect, and he’s also down 10 Hp from soul surging. Other than that, a 10 minute rest while Kyra Engineers the robots would be good.
Wow, I hadn’t even noticed that we were in Round 9!
Having paid attention in Starfinder School, Deep Blue heads NE. The door seems safe enough...
This room once served as an archive, with books in the north cupboards, computer servers along the east wall, and files in storage boxes in the south and center. Today, the storage cupboards are broken, their doors hanging off old, worn hinges; the paperwork has long since decayed; and the servers are dusty and without power.
There may be some interesting material here, but it's extremely fragile. Searching is actually based on Acrobatics or Athletics.

As Kyra's healing energies flow across him, Skorp bows in thanks and lets out a small sigh and barely audible hum of pleasure. He takes a seat to watch her examine the robots, frustrated that he is unable to help. He pulls out his comm unit and makes a note to hire an intern from the Society for future missions to cover his lack of engineering and computer knowledge.
In the next room, he watches in awe at Deep Blue’s dexterous examination of the contents.
The party works through, CAREFULLY. Deep Blue manages to get quite a few sources out and available, but it's hard to make heads or tails of what they contain. Culture Check]
