Devastation Ark

[rogue_alchemist]

Ram searches the room quickly making a loop, but as she gets to the South junk pile, she sees an two right arms in yellow environmental armor sticking out of the pile. She recognizes that it must be a Kasatha, and one of the members on the xenoarchaeology team was a kasatha. She thinks for a second, Nifri Zamas Gidren Sye was the name. As she goes to reach for him though, two security robots stand up out of the corner. (there is a green circle with a yellow circle marking where he is).

ICARUS-II knew something was going to be in the room, and as they watch Ramshackle start to move into the pile of junk, two security robots stand up out of the junk, as well a black swarm that begins to coalate in the eastern corner where some blue crystals had been on a humanoid dummy. At first the black swarm looks like FAR-US just reshaping/reacting, but then ICARUS realizes FAR-US is next to them, so this is something new.

Delta aims at the crystal daring it to activate, but it sits there seemly useless. They then hear ICARUS powering up their gun and turn to see the black swarm on the Eastern wall (note: not the two security robots, yet).

FAR-US moves into the room, attempting to assist the others in their mundane tasks, but suddenly notices the swarm of nanites coalescing ng in the eastern part of the room, and immediately recognizes it as a threat.

Akifansha is distracted by the horrific truths she just learned and trying to figure out the magical nature of some crystals sitting on a table near her, when her teammates start powering up weapons and locking on targets. It seems the crystal is raw magical energy solidified contained within a protective force field.

Kisada sends Iron Scanda to assist Ramshackle in searching the junk and rest of the room for further clues, while he focused on the first technology station he came to. He was just starting to get the computer responding and figuring out that this was dedicated to studying the weird material the walls are all made of out. Microscopes are trained on cultures taken from the technomagically treated biomass, cluttering the low tables.

I will update everyone more on what they are each investigating, but I assume you drop that to focus on the enemies that appeared. ICARUS-II, FAR-US, and Delta get to act in this surprise round. Then the robots act, then everyone will act (including ICARUS, FAR-US, and Delta again). I will make another post right below this with the robot actions, but they happen simultaneously with whatever the 3 are doing, so everyone else hold off on posting until they finish.

"Alert! Hostile nanites identified! Do not engage in melee and retreat to a safe perimeter! Avoid electrical armaments. Thermal and caustic armaments suggested. Paracausal cryonics may have an additional effect."

Something shifted in FAR-US's emitter, the magnetic projectors powering down to the barest minimum needed to keep the ball of incandescent matter roughly on target. When the hefty combat synthetic fired their hastily modified weapon, the result was a gout of pale-blue liquid fire.

"Adjusting settings."

It would be easy to read annoyance into FAR-US's flat affect.

The hulking golem more flows than walks right next to ICARUS before slashing down with an appendage that is so thin, it is hard to see how long it is. ICARUS can't dodge and is dealt a nasty gash. The golem's nanite cloud immediately starts working to worsen the wound, causing more damage to the SRO. Delta is able to hit the golem once, but it's flowing structure makes the shot about 1/2 as effective as expected. At least the golem doesn't appear to be closing the small wound created.

The two robots only have time to stand and aim, firing once on Ram, but missing wide and once on Iron Scanda, hitting the drone in 9ne of its arms.

Seeing the shot go wide Delta mutters a curse under their breath, backpedalling some 10ft to get distance as they pour more fire at the beast sacrificing accuracy for a sheer weight of fire, under the barrage of fire they eye the warning symbol lighting on their heavy flame rifle as 90% power usage is reached

"Found a kasath-" The next moment, Ramshackle bends back and to the side, dodging the Terminator's shot. The next moment, her knee pointing towards the offending robot seems to mechanically unfold and release shotgun fire, only for it to suddenly cut out. Ram is already vaulting backwards, firing a shot at the construct's CPU housing out of a handstand on the back of the chair that was behind her, before propelling herself the rest of the way back. With a quicksilver smooth motion, she lands behind the workbench south of the door, going into cover.

"Gun's bad versus nanite swarms. Focusing Terminators," she lets the others know.

As he is analyzing the technology, Kisada notices too late that there are hostile visitors in the room. He sees his drone shot out of the corner of his eye and turns to face the threat.

"Scanda! Pull back!"

Using it's thrusters, the small drone rockets towards its controller, then scampers to take cover under the desk beside him.

Bringing up the new system salvaged from their previous encounter, Kisada creates an energy barrier to protect himself and his drone. He steadies his thoughts and his breathing and focuses on the threats, feeling that steady aim will benefit him and his team-mates better than a hot head.

Still a busy week. Iron Scanda activates it's Jump Jets, and moves 30 ft towards Kisada, then takes a second move action to move under the table to Kisada's side.

Using the Titan Shield Armor Upgrade as a move action, Kisada forms a barrier of one way cover from his SE corner across straight to the west to cover his own squares and the square Iron Scanda is now in. The usage for Upgrade is listed as 10, I'm not sure if that is per turn of use or per activation as a whole, but since there is no duration listed I'm assuming it's per turn, which makes this thing eat power quickly.

He then takes a second move action to use his Adaptive Fighting feat, giving him Deadly Aim for 1 minute.

Delta backs up 10 feet, ensuring they are no where near the golem, then fires 3 times in quick succession, hitting twice, but the third shot hits the ground next to the golem.

Ramshackle is able to perform one of those rare shots that not only hits what she was aiming for, but manages to ricochet off and lodge into a shoulder joint, nicking a pneumatic line, as orange liquid comes pouring out of the joint. The security robot is clearly going to have problems aiming (unless/until it can adjust).

Akifansha tries to fire upon the golem, but is not used to something made out of nanites and the thing is able to easily reshape itself to allow the projectiles to pass through without taking any damage.

FAR-US advises the others on how best to engage, but in his moment of distraction is not able to mount an effective attack.

ICARUS-II ignores the Golem in its face, commanding one of the robots to "HALT!" and using the emphatic hand sign. The robot looks over at ICARUS, acknowledging what was said, but keeps on moving. However, the golem take that opportunity to attack ICARUS while they are distracted, the golem missed by mere inches. ICARUS then moves as far as possible from the golem.

Kisada gets Iron Scanda to pull back from the Security robots, moving over to right beside Kisada. The giant bear then sets up his shield to protect himself and his drone, while taking a moment to aim his gun before firing.

The Golem retargets quickly and locks in on Isar, closing the distance quickly before swiping with its nanofilament blade. Isar is critically wounded and falls to the ground, unable to move or run. Isar attempts to cast Discharge, but the golem is able to shake it off quickly.

The security robots seems to shutter for a second and start glowing faintly before bolting across the room faster than should be possible for such large creatures and then making full attacks. The one Ram hit pursues her, coming right up in her face. It tries to slam her twice, but the nimble android is able to easily dodge out of the way. The other target FAR-US, but again the hulking Android is able to out manuever the robot.

Alright, this fight is going to be a tough one. Isar would get an AOO against one, but the golem basically took him down. I am letting the attack crit, which shows you that when the golem crits, it does a severe wound critical, which can chop off legs, arms, eyes, etc. Isar lost a leg and is bleeding out. It doesn't look good for him right now. Isar also doesn't have a melee weapon, so no AoO. The Golem has 10 foot reach, so it can attack pretty far. It swiped at ICARUS, but missed.

FAR-US strode into the whirling mass of death, a three foot blade of matte black material extending from one of their chassis's wrists, their own mass of swirling nanites began to seep from the seams in their armor. There was a distinct change in their tone as it said, "This unit will not be allowing anyone to die here."

"Unit FAR-US, we will assist you."

From behind the force shield, Kisada commands his drone to harry the larger foe using his custom rig, while he takes careful aim with his Veskian cannon.

Unfortunately, Kisada didn't have time to program new protocols into his drone regarding his armor's new shield unit, and it's logic circuits cause it to attempt to fire around the shield rather than through it, missing it's target entirely.

Still, the cannon shot fires true.

Delta continues to fire upon the golem, hitting it again. While the fire is definitely keeping it from healing, these shots are being partially absorbed by the swarm-like nature of the construct, mitigating some of the damage from each shot.

ICARUS looks at the two security robots and projects images in their CPUs of all their worst nightmares, namely rusting away for millennia and then being unable to respond to threats as the area they are supposed to be guarding gets pillaged. The two robots immediately run as far as they can to the furthest corner of the room (where they started).

Ram rolls over the computer workbench, landing gracefully just behind Isar. She then injects a healing serum in arm, immediately staunching the bleeding and helping him recover a little.

FAR-US takes a step in to engage the golem directly. He slashes through the swarm, knocking some of the nanites away, but it is like slashing through molasses, as the swarm is able to deflect some of the impact.

Kisada feels he has locked onto the creatures CPU for controlling the swarm and takes his shot, but the construct reacts at the last second, rearraging its body to just take normal damage.

Isar grabs his stomach in pain, then attempts to crawl south-east to get away from the golem. The golem takes advantage of his inability to move and defend himself, swiping down with the filament blade. A nasty gash is left in Isar's back, as he slumps to the ground unconcious and bleeding badly.

The golem placidly takes a step east, puting Isar, Ram, and FAR-US in its nanite swarm, then turns its upraised filament blade to FAR-US, swinging down and then slicing back across. Both swipes hit the android, causing noticeable cosmetic damage to its armor.

Ridai, Feathersnow, and grumblyarcher get 1 AoO each against a robot (only grumblyarcher would have a choice of which robot). The one that you all three could potentially attack is the most damaged. The one that was by FAR-US and only he would be able to attack has no damage. My discription of Kisada's shot, is just adding flavor to the aim, there is nothing special to hit. Just so you guys know, this creature does not have DR, it is swarmlike, which means it takes 1/2 damage from anything that targets single targets. Any kind of automatic fire would have to hit the golem as if it were 3 targets to deal full damage. You guys are definitely whittling it away, but it is slow going. At least the two security robots seem to be out of the way for a bit. Isar wasn't quite dead last round, but even with the healing, this round 22 damage is enough to do it. He was nauseated last round, so could only take 1 move action. He is down now, though he stabilizes with a RP on his next turn. Unless you can draw the golem away or get Isar away from it, he will continue to take damage and losing RP until he dies. You probably have around 4 or 5 rounds until he is dead.

[grumblyarcher]

"Adjusting tactics."

FARUS's weapon again dissolved and reformed on the gauntlets of their chassis. Instead of crackling with electricity this time, waves of heat began pouring off the matte material as FAR-US disregarded several safety alerts and overran the heat sinks dangerously and began reaching into the mass of hostile nanites.

FAR-US changes tactics again, trying to continue hitting the Golem with gauntlets, but the Golem is able to move its swarm body out of the way just in time, causing FAR-US to just hit air.

Akifansha throws an explosive blast just behind the Golem and hits it, though it seems it is able to reform its swarm to absorb the blast stategically to minimize damage as much as possible.

Delta continues its punishing shots with the Agitator Inferno, hitting it square in the chest again. The nanite swarm is thinning, but this creature shows no sign of pain or loss.

ICARUS blasts the golem again, frying a few of the nanites in the swarm body.

Kisada and Iron Scanda coordinate their attacks to maximize damage, and Kisada is able to hit with the first attack, but misses with the second.

Ram picks Isar up to get him out of harms way, dragging him from the fight, and using her body to shield him from the wild swings of the Golem. The golem swings out at Ram's back and she thought she was going to dodge it, but the extra bulk of Isar's form didn't quite let her get out of the way.

The golem takes another step up to completely cover FAR-US in his swarm body, and also get ICARUS in the extended cloud. The Golem then swings out at ICARUS, flaying the SRO in some core systems it seems. The nanite swarm then descends on the two nearest to the golem (FAR-US and ICARUS), trying to break them down for use in repair.
