Erik takes off to the north and west, in an attempt to get at the new robo threat, and prevent it from getting to the door with his companion. Moving as fast as he can, hot on the robo's mechanical heels. Miran follows suit, and reaches the side of the building, running west, trying to perform a pincer maneuver with Erik, yelling "Going to try to get to Robert!". Kell, yelling "Haha, das right you sonuvabeech!", runs at the remaining small robo with his baton and swings at it, but the hit glances off of its armor. Donald yells "Where is it taking him?" while taking a shot at the remaining robo, missing his target, and nearly hitting Kell. The remaining robo, seeing Paul, levels a laser sight on him, and fires, hitting him right in the head! Paul goes down, wordless, and unmoving. The new robo threat continues west and moves around the building, and up to the door, which opens for it. It appears that it will be in the door within moments.

Mirian moves and sees the door opening for the robot, brings his weapon up and aims carefully, pulling the trigger.

One more good shot...

Donald shifts his aim around, trying to find a shot that isn't likely to hit Kell. Finding one that is to his liking, he fires another shot at the robot.

Erik, while still chasing the kidnapping robo shouts "Hang on, Robert, I'm coming!" Another few seconds and he'll be around the corner. Mirian, rounding the corner, sees the robo, and Robert. He fires a shot at the robo, hitting it and damaging it a little. Kell yells out "Vat? No!" as his squadmate Paul goes down, and hefts his baton, but missing the small robo in his grief. Donald, firing a shot at the robo, trying not to get Kell in his line of sight, gets distracted by Kell's yell, and almost hits him (you were this close to hitting him, bad roll I guess...), but again, only almost. Mirian sees the robo take off into the factory, the door opening. As it proceeds into the structure, you hear machinery working, almost like the sound of a lift. The last small robo fires on Kell, provoking an attack of opportunity, but missing Kell in the process.

((OOC: Kell, go ahead and roll your attack of opportunity, if you want. Also, Sorry about the late post, been sick all weekend. Still sick today, but needed to get a post in. Lastly, please check the OOC thread, as I have AP bonuses to hand out.))

OOC:
Spoiler


Contingency 1:
Mirian move south slightly to get Kell out of his firing path, before lining up the robot with his sights, firing.

Spoiler


Contingency 2:
Mirian moves to the door into the facility. Should he see the robot that took his teammate, he fires at it again. If he doesn't, he'll attempt to find a way to bring what sounded like a lift back to the door.

((Assuming this robo is still alive by my turn/my 5 foot step))

Kell finally realizes his ally is trying to get a shot off, and that his attacks do not seem to be going that great. He makes his attack, but steps back, hopefully allowing them a shot.

Kell's attack on the small robo's opening was a resounding success! The robo falls into a heap of scrap metal.

Rounding the corner, you all see Mirian in the doorway, staring agast. The inside of the small factory seems...larger. This is probably something to do with the fact that what part of the factory you can see from outside is just the top. You see an obvious lift, with some kind of trapdoor beneath it. It seems to work on some kind of rotation, like a bicycle chain, so when one comes up, another goes down, always with the trap door below shutting once it passes through. Too the far west side of the structure, you see some stairs that go down and to the left, probably a stairwell. There are several monitors around, showing some kind of status on building...something, though unless you take a closer look, you probably wouldn't be able to tell.

For everyone:

The north lift goes down, while the south lift goes across to the north, then down. The lifts are 10' by 15'.

Mirian

Scowling, Mirian shifts the big gun to his back, pulling his service pistol and pointing it to a space in the corner.

He aims very carefully, allowing his laser sight to guide his shot, before pulling the trigger.

Spoiler

"This is not candid camera day." Mirian growls softly, before taking a long moment to look over the rest of the room for any other cameras.

"What kind of welcoming party you think we're gonna find down there?"

Donald moves over to the mess of wires and pipes, examining what looks like an exhaust pipe.
I wonder if a grenade could fall down this thing fast enough to reach something important before it blew...

Erik

I guess it took Robert down. I reckon we better just take the stairs, I'm not trusting lifts they have the controls of.

Erik then begins to move across the factory floor after whispering to the others, heading towards the downward leading stairs.

Mirian finds that with his laser sight, hitting a non-moving camera is easy enough, and destroys it.

Moving down the stairs a level or two, you come to a long hallway. On either side of it (it runs east and west by the way, as seen below), both north and south, you see multiple robotic arms working on some kind of assembly line. They alternate between one holding a welding tool, and another placing a part on whatever product seems to be being produced. You arrive at the bottom of the stairs just soon enough to see the door at the end of the hall close. The walkway is 5' wide.

Please provide a marching order.

Impressive robotiks. Maybe Ve should...

Kell stops talking when he notices the door. He will approach with his pistol out.

(Third, unless anyone objects)

The trucker takes position behind Donald, glancing nervously at the robotic arms.

Heh, I wonder how many days it's been since they last had an accident.
