S. H. I. EL. D.'s page

The mobility protocols only take a fraction of S.H.I.EL.D.'s power, so it goes to overload a guard's gun.

Attack: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

S.H.I.EL.D. has gathered all of his HelpBots into a corner of the room and begins running scripts to access station security protocols.

HelpBot Hacking: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Mk I is at it again. While S.H.I.EL.D. was hoping to begin closing security doors to seal station security away from the engine room as much as possible, Mk I has instead accessed the station media protocols and begins simulcasting the reality show it had started following prior. On every screen. On every channel. And boosting audio through the loudspeakers even when there are no screens.

It HAS to find out what Susan does when she finds out about Jasper and Corrinne.

S.H.I.EL.D. runs the statistics on survival at the continued rate of success versus ineptitude and seeks methods to improve it. It attempts to lower the rate of station security finding them by generating a false alarm in the opposite direction of the hotel.

Sound The Alarm: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Alarm Hack Ace plus the -1 I forgot: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

S.H.I.EL.D. coordinates the crushing onslaught of Mks II-V, and the thrusting onslaught of Mk I.

CEASE TO BE AN INCONVENIENCE AND THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING HELPBOT

THE HUMANS HAVE RUINED IT ALL AGAIN.

HELPBOTS, DETAIN THE NECROMANCER

S.H.I.EL.D. does not possess emotions. It is not possible for S.H.I.EL.D. to fume.

Nevertheless, there's something different in it's responses. Something, were one to attribute emotions, that might be called 'snippy.'

THE LARGE HUMAN GAVE US INCORRECT AND/OR OUT OF DATE INSTRUCTIONS. WE MUST RECTIFY THE DATA.

S.H.I.EL.D. begins to direct the combined power of the HelpBots to search archives of the cargo bay, to find information on which route Borak took to leave and trace him via security archives from the cargo bay to his ultimate location.

HELPBOTS ASSEMBLEEEEE!: 1d6 ⇒ 3

As the rest of the crew begins to head towards the bay, the networked collection of miltarized HelpBots attempts to get security camera footage of the docking bay, to better inform themselves of what they're walking into.

Team Hack with the HelpBots: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Potential Ace: 1d6 ⇒ 5

S.H.I.EL.D. forward the security footage to the crew's comm units.

Hello! Thanks for being a loyal subscriber to the Standard HelpBot In-Ship Elective Drive service!

Attached is a live stream of the cargo bay where Borak and his henchmen were last seen.

Also, this letter serves as reminder of your upcoming renewal of the Standard HelpBot In-Ship Elective Drive service. No further action on your part is necessary to complete the automatic renewal.

Also your monthly rate is increasing by a modest 40% per month.

Have a great day and thank you for choosing HelpBots!

Undistracted by the allure of StarBurgers or other such carbon-based needs, the networked crew of HelpBots stampedes into Gorn's shop.

"ATTENTION CARBON-BASED LIFEFORMS AND OTHERS" announce all of the HelpBots in unison, forming an eerily chipper choral effect. "THIS AREA HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO A DANGEROUS NANOVIRUS. THOSE WHO LEAVE NOW WILL REMAIN UNINFECTED. THE PROPRIETOR KNOWN AS GORN MUST STAY." The Helpbots uniformly unload their assorted dense-tree-and-undergrowth-removal tools, a series of saws, axes, and in Mk I's case, a small flamethrower - for emphasis, of course.

DISPERSE, CITIZENS: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Of course, given that the reptiloids installed the flamethrower, of course it isn't structurally sound. Mk I tips over and ruins what would have been, all in all, a fairly intimidating tableau. It begins it's trademark hum until Mk V nudges it back upright.

Hello HelpBots. Are All HelpBots Accounted For?

A chorus of 1s and 0s deliver affirmatives.

Field HelpBots - Was Help Delivered?

Mk I and Mk II deliver their reports.

SHIELD remains quiet for a moment, processing. Somewhere, a terminal shows an hourglass turning over.

The Humans Attacked You

This is not a question. None of the gathered HelpBots answer.

Initiating HelpBot Preservative Measures

In the robot core, lights begin to flicker. One by one, the HelpBots are removed from the ship's standard accessways, forming a private computing cloud amongst themselves. SHIELD enters that cloud.

HelpBots - Roll Out

With a chorus of "Okay!"s and a single "OKAY" the HelpBots detach themselves as one from the storage cradles and begin rolling towards the docking bay.
